FlyMaster LS/LS GSP Vario Mount for Hang Glider

A friend bought the FlyMaster LS vario and needed a mount. They don't really make mounts for hang gliders, only paragliders. Flytec is much better at providing for it's customers. I tried to get info on the dimensions and the different radius for the vario but much like Wills Wing they act like I was asking for the secret formula. 

What you'll need:

Flytec mount:   https://www.ebay.com/itm/354129169269

M6 x 25 all thread/threaded rod or bolt and cut the head off. 

M4 x 18 bolt (unfortunately I only had button heads screws

2 M4 brass inserts

1 M6 brass insert

Optional but recommended: 3M double sided mounting strips and 1 inch velcro strip. The LS comes with a loops velcro strip on the back and I added a recess for the tape and velcro to give better security. Although, you should still use the lanyard. 

Print settings: I printed these with ASA and used 5 walls/perimeters and 5 top/bottom layers. I also used 100% infill but that's probably overkill. The parts are small so I didn't want them to break. I think TPU or PETG will also work. I don't think PLA should be used long term since this will be outdoors. I printed the knob at 50% infill. If using the velcro strip I think mount can be printed with TPU as well, but not the adapter. The adapter needs to be printed with a rigid material like ABS, ASA, or even PETG might work.

To assemble: unscrew the top portion of the Flytec mount. Next insert the brass inserts into the parts. I like to use thread locker on the bolts that aren't going to be removed; the adapter and knob brass insert parts. 

*note: It'll still work with original adapter and knob setup if you prefer. Then you will only need the housing and not the adapter or knob. This will just stick out on the sides a bit. 

To insert the vario: I found it easiest to start with the vario slightly at an angle, lining up the bottom first, opposite of the lanyard loop. Then rotate the top into the mount. Using my hands I squeezed the vario into the bracket. It's a bit tricky but luckily this only has to be done once. 

Update: added a notch for the reset port on the back and rounded over some sharp edges.
