Butterfly vario

Hi,

I really like the look of the Butterfly vario, it ticks most of my

requirement boxes.

Where do most people fit their sensor box given the requirement to be 100mm

from data wires and metal, 150mm away from avionics, 300mm away from 2 amp

cables and 500mm from a speaker?

I realise gliders have different positions for wires and speakers but I

would like to know how others have positioned their box.

Regards,

Steve.


Mine is in the rear fuselage, roughly in line with wing trailing edge, over structure that reinforces rear fuselage-wing pins.

Routing CAN cable and pressure lines there from instrument panel was quite a job but it ISU works flawlessly. I also changed radio and variometer speakers to ones with magnet-shielded driver (you would be amazed how much better your radio and variometer sound with proper driver/speaker instead of those made with chinese 5c parts).

If you have a smartphone, you can download app that basically detects metal structure inside walls and floors using the magnetic sensor of the phone. I used this same sensor to map out sources of biggest magnetic disturbances inside fuselage.
