Flytec variometer 6030
The Flytec variometer 6030 has been the benchmark soaring instrument for several years but was discontinued early 2016. Due to overwhelming requests worldwide, Flytec is producing a final production run in a unique red finish. The Flytec variometer 6030 is still the most comprehensive purpose-built instrument currently available.
