Overview

The smaller and low cost version of the IQ-COMPEO

COMPETINO is the brand new compact flight instrument with high operator convenience especially designed for paragliders. It has many of the approved functions of our high-end instrument IQ COMPEO as well as its high resolution display. In addition, some revolutionary additions such as 3 user selectable display representations, the unique "Track & Drop"- function for extremely accurate flights towards a goal, as well as a double power supply with normal batteries or with accumulators.

Summary of functions (excerpt)

  • Total integrated flight instrument with 16 channel GPS receiver and integrated patch antenna
  • Robust ABS housing, aerodynamic with soft edges
  • High precision pressure sensor for a very sensitive variometer
  • High resolution graphic LC-display 160 x 240 = 38.400 pixel with automatic and manual contrast adjustment, important for map function
  • 2 separated battery units each with 2 Mignon (= AA) cells (Alkali or NiMH-cells) providing 2 x 20 hours of usage. Automatic battery switch over always allows a complete use of the battery capacity - never again half empty batteries!
  • Automatic or manual Start / Stop of flight recording
  • Variable record interval 1... 30 sec allows recording up to 120 hours Header Image
  • Permanent display of GPS and battery status
  • Input for a vane-speed sensor
  • User selectable fields for:
    • Alt 1 Height above msl
    • Alt 2 Different altitudes
    • Alt 3 accumulated altitude
  • Air pressure QNH in hPa
  • Temperature °C or °F
  • Time and flight time
  • Wind direction and strength
  • Distance and direction to a waypoint
  • Required glide ratio (L/Draq) to attain the chosen waypoint
  • Automatic und manual volume control
  • Memory for 200 waypoints
  • Memory for 20 routes up to 30 waypoints
  • Input of different cylinder radii for a competition route
  • Automatic alarm und switching over to the next WP when crossing the circumference of the actual WP (competition route only)
  • A recorded flight conforms completely to IGC-rules (including the digital signature) and is fully compatible with accustomed evaluation programmes like "See you - Compe GPS - Max Point - GPS Var - IQ-Online" for announcing flights at OLC
  • PC-program "Fly chart" allows easy set-up functions as well as down- and uploads of waypoints, routes and flight tracks
  • Three different Displays can be selected by the user:
    • 1) Normal flight with round analog vario scale, Alt1, Speed, and more
    • 2) Flight to a GPS goal with barograph vario-scale and a graphic final glide calculator. A crosshair shows flight direction and altitude above the path of best glide
    • 3) Real time map display with track and waypoint names, cylinders; with Zoom In - Zoom Out function
  • Interface cable to a PC (serial RS232 port)
  • Dimensions: 165 x 70 x 36 mm Weight: 270 g (with batteries/without clamp)
     
  • All technical dates are subject to change!
     

    Technology

    The COMPETINO is a smaller and low cost version of our well known instrument, IQ-COMPEO. Therewith the COMPETINO complies all requirements of ambitious pilots who are in need of a 100% reliable and best equipped instrument. The COMPETINO was especially designed for paragliders . The Digital Signature is part of a recorded flight authentication; it makes the transmitted file fraud proof. These so called IGC-files will be accepted by national (DHV) and international (IGL) committees.
