Flymaster GPS LS Variometer

The Flymaster GPS LS was created to provide novice and experienced pilots with a flying experience with a lightweight, simple, yet feature-rich instrument. It has almost everything found in more expensive instruments, but at a much more affordable price.

Features almost match the most expensive instruments, but at a better price. The main screen allows the pilot to fly with battery level indicators, analog and digital vario, GPS status, current glide speed, ground speed, distance to takeoff, wind speed and direction, last thermal location and distance, and two altimeters.

Interface features

Fixed data fields: Battery, GPS Status, Max Climat Rate, Slip Ratio, Analog Vario, Integrated Vario, Speed Track, Max Sink, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Distance to Takeoff, Cursor, Last Thermal Location, Distance to Thermal, 3 Independent Altimeters, Time of Flight Clock, Sound Level
