XC Tracer Maxx II

Fly better than ever

GPS FANET FLARM ADS-L READY

 

FIND YOUR THERMAL INTUITIVELY WITH THE NEW XC TRACER MAXX II

MAXIMUM FOR ALL

Whether beginner or pro - with the XC Tracer Maxx II you fly more intuitively than ever before. It is not that XC Tracer Varios are only for professionals, but rather the opposite. Professionals like Chrigel have been flying for so long that it doesn't make a big difference if the beep from the vario and what you feel don't match. For pilots with not so much flying experience, flying an XC Tracer Maxx II becomes an intuitive experience. What the vario beeps and what you feel matches perfectly. Come to one of the test festivals and try this yourself. You will be amazed at how easy it is to fly in thermals with an XC Tracer.

 

MAXIMUM PRECISION

Conventional variometers have the disadvantage that climb and sink are always indicated with a more or less large time delay. With the XC Tracer Maxx II, the data from different sensors are combined with a complicated mathematical procedure, and this time delay is eliminated. Thanks to the delay-free display of climb/sink, finding and centring thermals with a Maxx II is much easier than with a conventional variometer.

And you can set the tones of the variometer as you like. Please use this tone simulator.

 

MAXIMUM INTUITIVE

Screens reduced to the essentials allow intuitive flying. Icons instead of text for effortless interpretations - you don't have to read any manual. The screens were designed to be as easy to read as possible - you take a quick look, and you've already grasped the essential information, so you can get back to watching the airspace and concentrating on flying. For the display, we use specially hardened glass, which avoids disturbing reflections and, at the same time, is very robust.

KEY FEATURES

Maximum social

You can always see where your buddies are. The Maxx II has a real FANET including FLARM built in, which means Maxx II can also receive data from other FANET. If you see a buddy at the launch site and want to add him as a buddy, it's as simple as a few clicks on the red button. Only the vario with FANET from the buddy must be switched on and no further than 30m away.

You can add up to 8 buddies, so you always know how far away they are and how high they are. The vario display is also transmitted. And then also if the respective buddy is still flying or not.

And finally, the position of your buddies is stored continuously. In the worst case, if a buddy does not show up in the evening, you can look up your XC Tracer Maxx II, where your buddy was the last time a FANET signal was received. You will find Latitude, Longitude, Altitude and Status. This information can be very helpful in locating a missing paraglider. You can also use your XC Tracer Maxx II as a search device, as all nearby FANET are displayed.

 

Maximum simplicity

To make the operation as easy as possible, we have only one button to operate the vario. The operation is super simple. You will be surprised how easy it is. You can adjust almost all settings with just this one button. And for the final details, there is always the possibility to connect the vario to the computer and add the final touches to the config file.

 

Maximum proven

Red Bull X-Alps, World Record and countless other flyers swear by the XC Tracer technology. Take a closer look at the photos from Red Bull XAlps 2021, where more than two-thirds of the pilots flew with an XC Tracer. Look for a little black box with a red string and a red button on the photos - these are all XC Tracer Varios! And some pilots have even used a Maxx.

 

Maximum compactness

To make the vario as compact as possible, we have spared no expense and developed an internal FLARM antenna. This antenna is so broadband that it works worldwide, regardless of whether you fly in Europe, the USA, Australia or anywhere else. And to make sure you can fly legally, the vario is CE and FCC certified.

 

Maximum endurance

The Vario has a built-in lithium polymer battery, which is fully charged for more than 70 hours of continuous operation, including data transmission via BLE and recording of IGC and KML files, and of course, the operation of the FANET/FLARM radio with transmission and reception of FANET/FLARM data. The battery can be recharged via the included USB - C cable if needed.

 

Maximum light

The XC Tracer Maxx II weighs only 120 grams, so it is easy to take along on hike & fly adventures.

Thermal screen

The perfect screen for flying in thermals. The height curve shows the last 30 seconds; The thermal assistant shows the last 60 seconds. With the help of this screen, it will be easier than ever to fly in thermals. You can set the Vario so that it automatically switches to the thermal screen when thermaling and then automatically switches back to the standard screen when you fly straight to the next thermal screen.

Buddy Screen

Do you want to know where your buddies, who also have a vario with built-in Flarm, fly? Then this screen is the right one for you. You can define up to 8 buddies and give them names. If you are at the take-off and want to add a friend, switch on your XC Tracer Maxx and the vario of your friend, and then in the settings of XC Tracer Maxx II add the vario of your friend as a buddy with a few clicks on the red button.

Up to 100 FLARM of paraglider and hangglider pilots will be displayed. These are the tiny black dots (is flying) or the small triangles (is on the ground). The buddies are displayed with big dots and triangles, and the climb/sink rate and the altitude are also displayed.

In addition, the position and altitude and the status of your buddies are continuously stored in the vario. This can be very helpful when a pilot is missing. If you have saved this pilot as a buddy, you can check on your vario where his last known position was. This feature can be very helpful in search and rescue operations. You can also use your XC Tracer Maxx as a search device, as all nearby Flarm devices are displayed on the screen.

As XC Tracer Maxx is CE and FCC certified, you can fly legally in many countries. And the frequencies from the Flarm beacon are automatically adjusted to always work in the right frequency band worldwide!

Displays altitude, vario, position and status of up to 8 buddies, plus position and status of up to 100 FLARMs​​​​​​​

Airspace Screen

Representation with side view and top view, the zoom level can be selected. The screen update rate is up to 10Hz. Warnings are integrated. Airspaces can be downloaded from XContest in XC Tracer format. Under Downloads XC_Tracer_Maxx_R07_RC_01.iap download and install.

Create a folder "Airspace" on the SD card of the Maxx and copy the file airspaces.bin into this folder.

This is what it looks like when you fly towards airspace. The horizontal and vertical distance to the next airspace is displayed. The airspace is displayed as a moving map so that it is immediately apparent whether you are approaching airspace or not.

Two warnings can be defined, 1x Aware that you are in the vicinity of airspace and 1x warning that you will soon be able to fly into the airspace.

As soon as you are in an airspace, the shortest way out of the airspace is shown with 2 arrows, as in the second picture. These warnings are not yet active but will follow in the next few days.

Airspace: Display with side view and top view, zoom levels can be selected. The screen update rate is up to 10Hz. Warnings are integrated.
