If you are happy with the smaller display, then consider the H2210,
otherwise you need the larger H5150 or H5550 (sometimes the 0
becomes a 5, same unit).

Pity, the H4150 is a lovely size and weight, but without "serial"
support you cannot link to serial devices like varios and loggers.
Bluetooth works well in a glider but we'd be better off without it
as a simple "serial" cable can replace the two Bluetooth
transmitters, making life for the glider battery less miserable.
Since we need a power cable anyway, Bluetooth offers nil advantage
for gliding.

Cheers,
