Is this variometer gold plated?

Hi Andrzej,

No. It is just "full featured". It has an artificial horizon, IGC approved
logger (pending), speed to fly vario, FLARM display, simple navigation, etc.
it is a very impressive product. They will also offer a nice full-featured
navigation display to go with it in the future. It is not inexpensive, but
it is an interesting product.

Can this vario use electronic TE compensation (only pitot and static connections) or does it require a TE compensated pressure source?

Hi,

Good question. The manual does not mention the option to use electronic
compensation only (no TE probe). It mentions that the TE probe must be
connected to the TE connection on the unit.

HI,

Below is the response from Marc at Butterfly.

_______________________________

Currently we do not offer electronic compensation.

Why: Our experience + many Akaflieg studies (Research groups at German
Universities) clearly show that TE-Compensation is superior.

We currently do not plan to integrate electronic compensation but may
integrate electronic compensation in the future (that means in spring next
year), depending on demand. In europe we had some customers, who had to
install TE-Probes but never regretted that step.

Best wishes
Marc

Doesn't the artificial horizon make it illegal for racing?

there were about 1000 posts dedicated to that topic last spring shortly after the SSA Convention. Before it blows up again you may want to search for those comments.

Sorry, should have included a smiley :-)

Craggy Aero has had the Butterfly Vario in stock for a month and I personally have over 20 hours of flight testing on the vario. If you want first hand impression of the vario please call.
