Taking advantage of the Flymaster Vario SD graphic processor, which also allows gray scales and increased definition graphics, pilots can customize their own multiple screen pages using the new Flymaster DESIGNER.

Using the designer users can add, resize or move objects, and increase the font size of text, allowing users of any age (and eye-sight quality) to get the most out of their unit.

The Flymaster Designer is a free application allowing users to design and manage, the screen layout of Flymaster instruments, and update the firmware. An unlimited number of layouts can be created,and shared with other users. 

Expandable

The VARIO SD has a built in low power wireless interface for connecting compatible accessories. The list of Flymaster wireless accessories is the most complete on the market. Already available for the VARIO SD are the HEART-G, TAS and M1.

So Easy

The Flymaster VARIO SD implements an easy intuitive menu driven system with no need to memorise multiple functions on keys with long key presses.
