Flytec Sonic (PAST MODEL)

Sonic is a small "audio only" variometer (vario) designed for mounting on the helmet or harness with hook-and-loop fastener. Designed for pilots who want to enjoy freeflight with the minimum of technology. Small enough to tuck away in a harness pocket.

Two operating modes provides either both ascent and descent tones, or ascent audio only. With battery life of over 200 hours, battery changes are in frequent.

Sonic is perfect for

• minimalists pilots, who prefer the least amount of technology

• tandem flying 
• a back-up acoustic vario for XC and competition flying, to supplement your primary instrument.
