Does anyone have a clue as to the features of the NK vario? I even
looked on wikileaks- nothing.

I've heard unconfirmed rumors it is going to beep.

We are passing the point that not talking about features is harming
the NK story. Is it or is it not a real product? They have no current
vario product line to harm so some details and realistic schedule
setting cannot hurt.

I can confidently state that a spec, adverts and prices for the N-K vario
range will appear well before the next SSA convention.

I'm sure the usual commercial outlets will be pushing pilots towards
their websites as soon as they can reveal something.

Hi,

I heard from NK last week that they hope to be selling the vario in several
(3 to 4 months) and flight testing it in 4 to 6 weeks. I imagine there will
be a beta test period, but NK has not mentioned that.

I don't know many details about it yet. My understanding is that it will be
a speed-to-fly variometer with audio and averager and will communicate with
the ClearNav over the high-speed CANbus network. It will not include a GPS
or logger.

I can't wait to fly with one.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde
