Default Butterfly vario review

I've watched all the Butterfly videos I could locate. Due to reflection and glare, most do not provide visible needle to needle comparisons with associated electric varios. Please share your flight experiences and observations. What are the obvious 'first run' bugs? Ben


Ben,

I have approximately 20 hours on the Butterfly Vario. I have an LX1606 next to the Butterfly. The vario mode is similar but the Butterfly has larger compensation settings. The SC mode is a little sensitive. Butterfly has agreed and are working on the issue.

The LX1606 has some reflection on the YouTube but is viewable in the cockpit.
