The X-Vario-V2 for Futaba is a high-precision variometer and altimeter sensor for the Futaba telemetry system. It works with all FASSTest and T-FHSS receivers.
It assists you in finding areas of updraft and helps you center your airplane in the updraft field. A variometer measures vertical climb and descent and indicates this to the pilot with a rising or falling tone. A built-in altimeter provides the current altitude above ground.
Thanks to its high-precision barometric sensor and 32-bit processor, the X-Vario-V2 can process more than 500 pressure readings per second. This results in a very fast response time and an excellent sensitivity of a few centimeters per second.
The X-Vario-V2 has been specially designed for use in model aircraft. Small dimensions, low weight, easy handling and high quality characterize this product.
