Customise vario sound: Efficient flying without annoying beeping
Flying for a few hours with a beeping vario can be annoying under certain circumstances. How can I set the vario so that it provides me with all the important information audibly without getting on my nerves too much?
Test Nano Vario
Most pilots are typical local mountain pilots, fly tandem privately or commercially or only do hike and fly. A simple vario without too many technical accessories, such as the Nano Vario, is sufficient for this.
Test Niviuk Arrow P 2
The Niviuk Arrow P 2 is the successor to the P and the light version of the Arrow, which I have been flying for some time now. In contrast to the Arrow, the P version is the lightweight version and is therefore intended for hike-and-fly and bivouac pilots.
