Default FS: Borgelt B500 with SD card interface

Borgelt B500 with mini SD card interface. Unit is about 5 years old but has never been installed in a glider. Unit was originally purchased for a homebuilt kit that was never finished. Every component has been bench tested and upgraded to the latest firmware in March.

More information from Borgelt Instrument's website:

Averager (on Glareshield Control and Display (GCD2) unit
Speed-to-fly (blue and amber lights on vario dial)
Green LED on vario dial for "lift is better than average" (climb mode) or "airmass is rising" (cruise mode)
Red LED on vario dial for "lift is less than average" (climb mode) or "airmass is sinking" (cruise mode)
GPS and air data (airspeed and variometer) send to PDA for use in soaring flight software

Includes:
2 1/4" main vario unit
Glareshield Control and Display (GCD) unit with built in mini SD card reader
Mini SD card
Custom built GCD mount
GPS antenna unit
DB9 serial port interface/adapter cable
Temperature sensor
Cruise/climb switch
Mounting screws

A new B800 (it's successor, but very similar features) sells for $1350, but you can have this one practically new from me for half of that. Keep in mind, you will need a speaker or preferably 2 for stereo functions, but they're only $10 or so each.

$700 and I'll pay for UPS shipping.
