Details

This product was designed by engineers who also happen to be paragliding pilots.
They wanted a product that would meet the following criteria:

 

- Small

- Light Weight

- Easy to Operate

There was nothing currently available that satises each requirement so they
sat down, rolled up their sleeves, and after many hours of hard work, prototype
builds, programming, reliability testing, and test flights, came up with what
we believe is the best small, rechargeable variometer available.

We know that you will enjoy this product and wish you many safe and enjoyable flights.
