The COMPETINO is the brand new compact flight instrument with high operator convenience especially designed for paragliders. It has many of the approved functions of our high end instrument IQ COMPEO as well as its high resolution display. In addition some revolutionary new features, like 3 user selectable display representations, the unique "Track & Drop"- function for extremely accurate flights towards a goal as well as a double power supply with normal batteries or with accumulators.
Functions Overview
• Total integrated flight instrument with 16 channel GPS receiver and itegrated patch antenna
• Robust ABS housing, aerodynamic with soft edges
• High precision pressure sensor for a very sensitive variometer
• High resolution graphic LC-display 160 x 240 = 38.400 pixel with automatic and manual contrast adjustment, important for map function
• 2 seperated battery units each with 2 Mignon (= AA) cells (Alkali or NiMH-accu) providing 2 x 20 hours of usage. Automatic battery switch over always allows a complete use of the battery capacity - never again half empty batteries!
• Automatic or manual Start / Stop of flight recording
• Variable record interval 1... 30 sec allows recording up to 120 hours
• Permanent display of GPS and battery status
• Input for a vane-speedsensor
• User selectable fields for:
- Alt 1 Height above msl
- Alt 2 Difference altitudet
- Alt 3 Cumulated altitude
• Air pressure QNH in hPa
• Temperature °C or °F
• Time and flight time
• Winddirection and strength
• Distance and direction to a waypoint
• Required glide ratio (L/Dreq) to attain the chosen waypoint
• Automatic and manual volume control
• Memory for 200 waypoints
• Memory for 20 routes up to 30 waypoints
• Input of different cylinder radii for a competition route
• Automatic alarm and switching over to the next WP when crossing the circumference of the actual WP (competition route only)
• A recorded flight conforms completely to IGC-rules (including the digital signature) and is fully compatible with evaluation programs like "Seeyou - CompeGPS - Maxpunkte - GPSVar - IQ-Online" for announcing flights at OLC
• Available seperately, PC-program "Flychart" allows easy set-up functions as well as down- and uploads of waypoints, routes and flight tracks
• Three different Displays can be selected by the user:
1) Normal flight with round analog vario scale, Alt1, Speed, and more
2) Flight to a GPS goal with bargraph vario-scale and a graphic final glide calculator. A crosshair shows flight direction and altitude above the path of best glide
3) Real time map display with track and waypoint names, cylinders; with Zoom In -
• Zoom Out function
