News just in from Koni…

A new firmware for Maxx II is now available for download on our homepage (www.xctracer.com/en/downloads-unterteilt): The obstacle warning is now implemented. The obstacles can be downloaded from XContest. The obstacles are integrated into the airspaces. An acoustic alarm will sound approximately 10 seconds before the calculated collision with a cable. Here www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7qYoFMvZ0k you can find a video showing how it works in flight.

TEK (Total Energy Compensation) is also newly implemented. Please note that TEK is mainly useful for xc- and competition pilots and the average consumer will hardly benefit from it.

What is TEK? In paragliding, there is a continuous conversion of altitude to velocity and vice versa. A TEK vario filters out these effects. This is particularly useful when, for example, you fly at full speed into a small thermal. In such situations, you have to release the speed bar to turn and enter the thermal. Releasing the speed bar converts speed into altitude and the variometer indicates a climb, whether there is a thermal there or not. This makes it difficult or even impossible to center the thermal directly.

TEK solves this problem by filtering out altitude changes due to changes in speed. For example, the swinging of the parachute has hardly any effect on the variometer display. You can now configure TEK in Tone & Alarm. TEK=no means that the conventional vario is used as before. TEK=1000ms means TEK in straight flight and normal vario when flying in thermals, with a transition time of 1000ms from TEK to the normal vario and vice versa. For an EN-B wing, 1000ms is sufficient, while for a competition wing, 3000ms is better suited.

TEK is only available for Maxx II. Obstacle Alarm will also be implemented in Maxx and Mini V.

I’ve got plenty of stock of both Maxx IIs and Mini Vs so don’t miss out on the CAA EC rebate which runs out at the end of March (unless it’s extended of course). PM me or buy direct from xctraceruk.com ... See MoreSee Less
