First, a glider computer (LX Zeus) which is used for calculating and displaying all of the key information used
by pilots. This glider computer is the brain of the operation.
The second part of the system is a variometer (Era, Helios, and Era). Its job is to gather the information
which the Zeus uses. The vario has pressure connections as well as the GPS antenna connection which is
required for IGC logs.
There is a wide variety of choice for varios and for LX Zeus display sizes.
All our varios are standalone devices which can be used without a glider computer for displaying flight
parameters such as final glide information, Speed Command (SC) as well as basic navigation. Our varios also
have an internal battery which means that your IGC logs do not depend on your glider`s batteries.
System extensions (second seat unit, remote control (LX Joy), NavBox, MOP, Flap sensor, AHRS ...) are also
possible. Everything is connected using a CAN bus (single cable for power and data). All connections are plug
and play, which means no specialist is required to install the system.
With the Colibri X we introduce something completely new that is a technology ahead of any other device in
its class on the market.
