Glide Sailplane / Soaring System

THE ULTIMATE SOARING TOOL !

We are pleased to offer our Seagull Glide system, a revolutionary Variometer and Soaring Tool for model sailplanes. With the Glide system, data previously available only on full sized gliders is provided to the pilot in real-time. Unlike other limited feature variometers on the market, the Glide system has a fully digital wireless link, data logging, tremendous expandability, and many other advanced features.Unit comes pre-configured.No computer required!

VARIOMETER FUNCTION...
The Wireless Seagull Dashboard contains a sophisticated varying tone Variometer, employing electronic Total Energy
Compensation, based on changes in Airspeed. Basic variometers do not support total energy, which means that “stick thermals” are reported by the variometer if you descend or ascend due to elevator movement. Standard total energy variometers reduce the effects of moving the elevator by monitoring the pitch of the aircraft, which requires an additional probe to be mounted. The Seagull Pro system uses the airspeed pitot tube for total energy calculations, requiring no additional tube. The variometer produces a varying tone, which changes as you ascend or descend at different rates. When ascending, the tone will be broken, with the tone frequency increasing as the rate of ascent increases. When descending, the tone
will be continuous, with the tone frequency decreasing as your rate of descent increases. Several parameters of the variometer are adjustable. See the Configuration Menu section below for more information. The Dashboard includes a small speaker, or a set of standard headphones or ‘earbuds’ can be plugged into the dashboard for noisy areas.

NEW - Now you can add our micro GPS expander module to the system, which gives you in-flight and recorded position, course, ground speed, GPS altitude, distance to pilot, UTC, and more, in addition to all the other Seagull features.With the combination of Seagull and GPS, you’ll never lose another plane or rocket in the weeds! Just go to the last position displayed on the dashboard (using a cheap hand-held or other GPS unit) and your plane will be there! Also, software to chart out your flight in 3D is included free!

NEW - Google Earth (TM) Real time and Recorded GPS support! Unleash the power of our Flight systems with the powerful visualization capabilities of Google Earth! Our software now supports live data feed to Google Earth, as well as exporting of recorded data to the Google Earth format!

NEW - Multiple Engine/Multiple Sensor Support! Whether you fly electric, gas or nitro, our fully expandable systems make it easy to completely instrument multi-engine cars, or to add lots of channels of Temperature, Voltage, Current, A/D, etc. Please Contact us for more information!
