There is a Butterfly vario in an ASH 26e at our club in Scotland
but the owner says that it only speaks German at present and
he is awaiting an update so that it can speak English. He is
happy with it as a vario

I have one of the early positions for receiving a Butterfly
vario
(from Craggy) and plan on doing a full youtube video review
on it. =A0As
a side note, I took delivery of a V7 vario at this year's SSA
convention and have completely loved it! =A0The V7 is
beautiful, has a
fast and accurate response to lift, amazingly configurable,
beautiful,
has tons of info available in such a compact package, and
did I
mention enough that it is the most beautiful vario currently
on the
market? =A0 =A0It will be fun to have both varios in the
cockpit to
compare and contrast. =A0Hopefully I will have some inflight
video
reviews within the next month...if the Butterfly really ends
up
shipping...I thought I was going to be getting mine in April...

The LXNAV V7 vario is really popular. It can be configured
to work
with a variety of GPS and Displays. One of the interesting
things is
the Baud rates are recommended to be set as high as possible.
I am
currently running a Portable PowerFlarm to V7 to Craggy Aero
Ultimate
Le. Bruno is running a NANO to V7 to Craggy Aero Ultimate
Le.
