For several years Wings & Wheels was the US distributor of the fine line of Westerboer variometers and competition flight computers. For a short time other companies produced flight computers with GPS systems that were more widely accepted and better supported by contest managers and that diminished the pilot/owners for these very high end (and at the time) more expensive instruments. Eventually other lower cost variometers took over much of the simple variometer market and ultimately we discontinued with the Westerboer line.
Times have changed though and with the new line of Westerboer variometers recently released we have brought these back again! Westerboer in not a new company and many of their original VW5KB and even earlier variometers are still in use and loved today dating back to the Era of the 1960's. Westerboer offers TE Probe compensated variometers and also one of the very best Electronic TE variometers that can be operated without a TE probe using simply Pitot/Static inputs.

With decreased panel spaces available today with large screen graphic navigation displays, transponders and additional instrumentation these fine 57mm instruments with optional data will obviously become the first choice again for discrimination competition and recreational pilots as well
