XC Tracer (Ebenalp)

A whileback I stumbled over a crowd sourced project of a 'new' kind of vario, the XC-Tracer.
As the approach looked pretty interesting I immediately have joined and yesterday my unit was delivered. All info about the XC-Tracer can be found here or here.
The unit is extremely light ( < 60 gr) and very small. So far I use it as a stand alone instrument, meaning I'm not connecting it via Bluetooth to any app etc.




Today I was flying with XC-Tracer for the first time (2h 45min) and the instrument did exactly what was promised: extremely responsive, no time lag when entering / leaving a thermal.




Great flying conditions on Ebenalp!
