The popular LXNAV S80 and S8 standalone varios now have a new CLUB variant available. If you need a standalone variometer, with all the same connectivity, upgradeability and accuracy as the S80/S8, but without the need for airspace, tasks, pilot profiles and remote inputs (airbrake, undercarriage warnings etc), then the S80/S8 Club is the choice for you. Built with the exact same hardware as for the S80/S8, these units can be upgraded to include any of the above features as a software upgrade - meaning it can be upgraded to full S80/S8 functionality at any point in the future. They can also be upgraded to include AHRS, bluetooth functionality just like the S80/S8.
The S8 is a 57mm diameter unit. For the 80mm variant, you need the S80.
