It is a vario which also reports altitude and voltage, and reportedly has the capability for adding other transducers. Another choice is the Robbe Telemetry system, also on 434 MHz. They have a number of transducers available now. Both of these use synthizied (sp?) transmitters which can be easily changed between the channels in the 434 MHz band by flipping DIP switches. Another choice is the Skymelody by Shulze. See: http://www.rconline.net/uwe-schulz/ It is compact but only indicates the rate of climb/decent and also tells you if the battery voltage drops below a certain threshold. One model is available which measures total energy, although it wont be very useful unless you have a 1/4 scale or bigger glider. Looks like a Ham license is required to operate these on 434 Mhz in the USA, although some use them without a Ham license. The power output is miniscule, so it is unlikely to cause interference to anyone more than a 1/2 mile away. Rumor was that Thommys was going to introduce one in the USA on a legal frequency. This was mentioned in a recent RCSD article. I have experience with the Telario and Skymelody. Both work as advertised. The Skymelody is smaller than the Telario, but so is the Picolario, and the Picolario has more capabilty. Both the Telario and Picolario have the capabilty to add transducers. - Jimmy Doug Turner wrote: > > I am interested in purchasing one of these varios but would like to talk to > someone who has one.
