Flight Instrument by Flymaster Avionics
Following the success of the Flymaster B1 and the Flymaster F1 and Flymaster NAV+ Software, Flymaster Avionics now launches a new addition to its family of high quality flight instruments, the Flymaster 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 which 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's 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.. the B1 NAV boasts many powerful and unique software features, with an intuitive user friendly interface. The unit is firmware upgradeable as and when new features are added or any bugs fixed, it can be updated easily from a computer.
Flymaster B1-NAV is the best value for money, fully featured integrated GPS/Vario, designed to make your navigation easier for cross country and competition use.
