NEW GENERATION FLIGHT PHABLET

Cedric S (France), about AIR³

″I have flown with almost everything: traditional flight instruments of course, a hacked kobo bought in the US (which let me go in the middle of one of my best flight), and finally a Samsung 7″ tablet combo with XCtrack + XC tracer II.

The AIR³ is made for our activity and is the perfect answer to our needs, and without messing around with cables in all directions, bluetooth connections that crash, etc … The price is largely justified, there is everything in it, you turn it on and you fly, period.″

Brandon M (USA), about AIR³

″I tried the AIR3 in 1 first flight. The device is by far the best what I have seen on the market so far. The screen is outstanding.″

Bob S (Australia), about AIR³

″I flew exclusively with the Air³  at the Manilla, XC Camp for the last week. Conditions were difficult for Manilla with broken thermals low down until around 1500 -1700m when things seemed to join up. The Air³ vario was excellent, on a par with the XCtracer . I am very fond of the XCtracer and compare every vario to it. The screen is excellent, I would say its the best I have used. Better than my phone, Google Pixel 2XL. No problems in bright sun ; on my Advance lightness the angle of the cockpit is perfect. One of my flights was 6 ½ hrs. I fly with a Le GPS Solar panel which also has a 5600 Ah battery. At the end of the flight the solar battery was exhausted and the Air3 was at 43%. I was using the internet and whatsapp while flying (for retrieve) so realise that there are things I could do to make the battery last longer.
The newer version of Android means that I can run all my apps on the tablet. I am very happy with this instrument.
If anyone in Victoria, Australia would like to check it out give me a shout.…″

Manu 974 (Reunion), about AIR³

″In 32 years of flights, a lot of Alti vario +/- Gps have passed through my hands (I could almost open a museum).
I have almost always been disappointed by their poorly finalized, poorly scalable software with often bugs forcing the instrument to reset in flight, with generally a fragile case, a screen that is not very readable and an ergonomics not suitable for handling in flight.
This is why I find it interesting that a company finally decides to integrate XCTrack into its instruments because it is for me the most successful flight software for the moment, designed by people who know our expectations. (…)
I was able to try the Air3. I was pleasantly surprised by its readability in flight even in direct sunlight. It is much better than on my FlyMaster Nav which is the only instrument I have kept in all these years.
The vario is completely synchronous with FM.
Nice product i keep it.…″
