LXNAV S3

Please choose the units you require the outside of the vario to be marked in - knots or m/s. The units of the LCD display's navboxes are configurable in the settings.

The S3 makes an ideal vario for a basic club glider setup but is also used in conjunction with the S3 UPS Backup Battery by some competition pilots as an effective backup electric vario (often instead of a mechanical vario) should the glider's power supply fail.
