AirHG
Digifly doesn’t stop evolving, and doesn’t slow down research and innovation on products destined for the world of free flight. In this early 2020 the novelty is called AirHG, a new instrument entirely dedicated to hang gliding, integrating the tested and consolidated technology of the Air family into a fine and elegant monocoque. The new tool of the Italian company integrates the USB Type-C charging and data connection port, in parallel with several software innovations.
Here you can find the presentation of the new AirHG
Commonly to all AIR models, the AirHG pages are fully customizable thanks to the Air Pages software for PC and Mac. This software has been designed to offer maximum ease of use and design a screen according to your taste and is elementary and intuitive. AIR models offer their user three ‘factory’ screens (deliberately not modifiable) and the choice between one or more of the ten ‘user’ screens.
The display layout is fully customizable also through PC-Mac simply drag and dropping the preferred functions, or even transferring them from a micro SD card or via BT from AIR to AIR. Already available the new free AirTools software to manage the AIR tasks, waypoints, tracks and display configurations.
The fast, efficient and full optional AIR software, comes from the Digifly know-how gained during years of competitions support. It is designed in distinct blocks that facilitates to set the instrument, entering waypoints and setting task.
The high resolution display, the wide internal memory space and the surplus of computing capability, will allow to listen and to put into practice all the tips that will come from its users, and as like as for all the Digifly instruments, every one of the future free firmware updates will provide to the AIR pilots a totally perfectly tuned AIR-tool.
