Read it from the web pages themselves http://www.borgeltinstruments.com/
I am buying a B50 for my ASW20L and I have been going through the data on
many vario systems for a year before my glider arrived.
Price is better ,reliability reputed to be much better,it has an upgrade
path either to a
PDA or to a B2000 full flight computer at a better price/performance in
comparison
to other complete sytems .
I dont know the UK price but converting B50 price from our $ to UK pounds
would make it between 400-500 then if you add a B2000 brings it up 1000-1200
pounds,
plus local taxes, from the used adverts in Europe that makes it a VERY good
price for a new system.
I have no connection to Borgelt but from all the info I have gathered it is
the best suited
for me and when asked for my recommendation for a cheap tough basic
audiovario for club use
the B40 was the one I said was the one to go for.

It would be good to have a system which didn't need a flask connection
for the vario function, and which gave us a flight director (Told us to
fly faster or slower)

We are thinking of spending about 700 GBPs, 1200 Euros or 1200 USDs.

Any ideas, anyone?

Borgelt B-50. The best Super Vario there is.

Thanks. But the B50 doesn't have a flight director function does it? Or
am I wrong?
