NEW GPS LS
Flymaster has created the GPS LS to provide novice and experienced pilots a flight experience with a light and simple instrument, yet with lots of features.
It has almost everything that the most expensive instruments have, but for a much more affordable price. The main screen provides the pilots with a lot of information, including battery level, integrated analog and digital vario, GPS status, current glide-ratio, ground speed, distance to take-off, speed and wind direction, last thermal location and distance, course, two altimeters, clock and flight time.
