Overview:

The Flymaster B1 is the most recent flight instrument from Flymaster Avionics. It is a Variometer targeted at soaring flight pilots who do not require integrated navigation features.

The B1 is based on Flymaster F1’s proven technology, providing the pilot with an extremely sensitive and accurate variometer, which will detect even the weakest of thermals, giving you the edge above the rest of the gaggle.


Amongst many features the B1 has a real time altitude plotter, 3 altimeters. It can store over 1600 flight log records, with altitude logs on a second by second basis. It also boasts of a high resolution display with excellent viewing contrast and an optional backlight.

Another unique feature is an RF interface built into the B1, giving it the capability of connecting several wireless probes simultaneously.


To top it all, B1 has a built-in modern high capacity lithium ion polymer battery, which powers it for dozens of hours.

Overview:

Following the sucess of the Flymaster B1 and the Flymaster F1&NAV+, Flymaster Avionics now launches a new addition to its family of high quality flight instruments, the B1 NAV. This new instrument adds to the features of the B1 all the navigation features needed for Cross Country and Competition Flights.

The B1 NAV integrates the latest GPS technology wich allows ultra fast start-up(even at weak signals). Such high precision GPS provides 4 position fixes per second(most devices only provide only 1 position per second) allowing faster response time.

The B1 NAV revolutionary new hardware provides a completely new experience, with amazing smooth graphics and almost instant information updates. Despite the differential hardware characteristics, like the high contrast and resolution screen, very sensitive variometer, large memory capacity, Radio Frequency interface for connection probes, high capacity li-on battery, etc.. B1 NAV boasts many powerful and unique software features, with an intuitive user friendly interface.

Flymaster B1 NAV is the best value for money integrated GPS/Vario designed to make your navigation easier.
