The most important point of contact between human and machine
The SteFly remote control stick is the most versatile USB input option for the OpenVario, XCNav or XCTouchNav with XCSoar. Due to its ergonomic shape, it fits comfortably in your hand. Durable black leather , which is also used for steering wheels in premium automobiles, in combination with a prominent decorative stitch, gives the control stick an elegant appearance. You can choose between four standard colours of the stiching We can realize individual special colours on request as well.
Intuitive operation of XCSoar
The OpenVario is operated by a 4-way Joystick with a central pushbutton, 3 additional pushbuttons (function Fn, menu M, exit menu X) and a button for variometer speed to fly switchover, which is ergonomically placed for the index finger. Of course there is also one radio pushbutton (PTT) integrated in the CFRP front panel.
NEW: easy installation thanks to the USB-A connector with spring terminals
NEW: Version 4.2 has been completely revised. A total of 6 individually insulated, aviation-approved TEFZEL wires replaced the thick and rigid USB cable previously used. For easy assembly, the cables can be disconnected and reconnected to the USB-A terminal block without tools. All you have to do is push the slides on the terminal block with your finger or a screw driver in the opposite direction. Another new feature is that an engine start button can be installed. For this purpose, the upper button of the PCB can be removed.
