Earlier today I asked Koni whether he’s still hoping to be able to ship anything in June…![]()
"June is impossible. We are still waiting for GPS. Our guess is that we can deliver around end of July. But again, we don’t know, since we don’t get a delivery date from uBlox."![]()
Sorry for the delays and thanks for your continued patience…![]()

Edit: this is a frame grab from my GoPro – I brightened the shadows to show the Maxx but now it looks as though it’s switched off 😂 I can assure you it wasn’t and that it was working fine! Watch the video here youtu.be/bFL84xc-Dns … See MoreSee Less

Some exciting news from Koni:![]()
The global shortage of electronic components remains a big problem for us. For the production of XC Tracer Maxx II we are still missing 2 components. We should receive these components in the course of May, so that we can probably produce and deliver the first varios at the beginning of June. Maxx II has compared to Maxx a better GPS, Fanet and Flarm integrated, and an even lower power consumption. And many more small improvements. Prices in CHF will remain the same. We will have to increase the prices in Euro by about 5%.![]()
We cannot yet make any statements about the delivery times and prices of Mini IV GPS. Maybe we will produce a slightly bigger version with integrated Fanet and Flarm. Let us surprise you!![]()
We ask for your patience and understanding. The (no longer so long) wait is worth it!![]()

Attention all FLARM users!![]()
There have been fatal accidents (fortunately not involving free-flyers) in Switzerland and the USA where lapsed FLARM licences have prevented one aircraft’s FLARM from working, so this is a reminder to check your FLARM licence expiry date (and make a note of it in your calendar/reminder app) and update the licence if necessary. (NB. The latest XCTracer FLARM licence can always be found on the downloads page of xctracer.com) … See MoreSee Less
