So what is the latest on the availability of the Butterfly vario? Wonder if it will "fly" in any Uvalde WGC sailplanes?


Also, will it deliver full featured or will the featurs dribble in over time?


Sure would like to see something on YouTube including a sampling of the audio. How about it Butterfly Avionics?


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. *As
a side note, I took delivery of a V7 vario at this year's SSA
convention and have completely loved it! *The 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? * *It will be fun to have both varios in the cockpit to
compare and contrast. *Hopefully 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.
