Paired with XCTrack in the cockpit, the combination is rated noticeably faster and more responsive than most varios on the market. The reviewer notes that the sensor must be sheltered from raw airflow — placement matters.

Once I matched the FlyBeeper settings to my XCTracer they started sounding in unison. The vario itself is definitely no worse than the XCTracer.

Flew with the mini for a bit. Sensitivity is at a very good level. Syncs with XCTrack without any trouble.

About 20 hours of flying so far, including at a competition. Sensitive sensor, very compact, the volume control is easy to use. I really like the device — recommended.
