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.

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.

Is this variometer gold plated?

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

Richard and Paul,
This looks nice but does anyone have any idea when it might get approval as a logger. I waited almost a year with my PF and never happened (Sold the PF with the old ship). I am setting up a new panel this off season and if I buy this and a new PF I still wont have an approved logger. Do you guys expect the customer service to be better on this than the PF?
Thanks

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,

Is the Butterfly Vario also an IGC-certified Logger?
Yes. There is an IGC-Logger built into the Integrated Sensor Unit (ISU) of the system. The IGC-Logger is in certification right now (01/2012) and will be certified after the highest possible level.

I will check with Butterfly to get an update.

Depending on what you need your logger for, that SN10 that you have works fine for all US contests and OLC. And didn't you say it came with a Volkslogger, which is still on the list of approved loggers?

Those should work until either the PF or Butterfly get approved.

Yes, the Volkslogger is a pain to use. But the SN10 (with the USB adaptor) is as painless as it gets; unless you are going for badges give the VL to your local club, hook up a cheap GPS to the SN10, and go fly.
