Thanks for the specifics. Do you take advantage of Butterfly calculations in the Ultimate? (i.e. do you feed this latter with Butterfly outputs? such as vario, baro alt, wind) Is the wind in the Butterfly also quickly updated and accurate (as far as one can judge), thanks to all the sensors it has? especially in straight flight Adrien, I don't use the butterfly vario data yet, I am waiting for the Data Module from Butterfly. The Butterfly is standalone at this point. I use PowerFlarm - LX1606 - Ultimate Le. The winds calculated with the SeeYou PNA on the Ultimate Le are very similar to the Butterfly Vario. The winds of both in my opinion are quick and accurate. I don't see any significant differences. The buad rate for the PowerFlarm to LX1606 to Ultimate is 38400. I think this is important for wind calculations, but I am not sure. Any baud rate teckies out there? Richard www.craggyaero.com |

Or, are they all requiring circling in thermal drift to calculate wind? -Jim |

I have not noticed much difference with either set of instruments. Richard www.craggyaero.com |

Jim, You need a PowerFlarm with a vario like the LX1606 or V7 to get wind information. The PowerFlarm or LX1606 alone will not give winds. PowerFlarm sends GPS & Flarm data in the NMEA streat to the vario the vario adds vario sentences to the stream and you software SeeYou Mobile etc will calculate winds. The ButterFly varo alone will give winds. Richard www.craggyaero.com |
