The Champion is equipped with a hyper-sensitive temperature sensor that will help you find the best core in any thermal. This is the vario for those who want to be at the top of the stack!

As is the case with all Aircotec quality products the Champion represents the latest in vario technology – there is however one particular quality that makes it special: Aside from being very sturdy and robust, you yourself can change any of the following parts: Front cover,Display, Side covers, Rear cover, and even the print Isn't that good news?
