There are two display options. A rectangular butterfly display or one
for mounting in a stamdard 80mm hole. The rectangular display is the
"standard" external display with a brick. The round hole one costs a
bit more. The rectangular one can be flipped with the knob on either
side. Because it gives access to configuration settings and new
features in the PowerFLARM you really need one of these displays with
the brick, even if planning to use a third party display (e.g. SeeYou
Mobile or other soaring software on a PDA, a ClearNav etc.).

Pretty clear information on the display options is on Craggy Aero's
web site and Cumulus Soaring's web site and you can look at the
current Flarm versions of these displays (including German language
manuals, install templates etc.) on Butterfly's (the manufacturer of
PowerFLARM) web site. There are nice third party mount trays available
in Europe today for attaching the rectangular display to a glareshield
etc. I'll leave finding those Web sites as an exercise.

Other dealers are Williams Soaring and Knauff and Grove and I know
they can also answer questions on the display options as well. If you
want to order one and still have questions you might just want to
contact your favorite dealer.
