Default Flarm and stealth

Hi,

I'm not convinced that using FLARM will increase leaching. Many of the
posts have assumed that it will. A pilot that plans to leach can do so
using his/her eyeballs anyway. As it is now he/she (for example) can see 2
gaggles out in the distance. They may or may not be able to tell remotely
which gaggle is climbing better due to how much they are climbing up and
away (as seen visually - without FLARM). FLARM will probably make it easier
to determine which gaggle is in a better thermal. But again, I have never
flown with FLARM...

Best Regards,

Paul Remde

Gosh no. But re-reading your earlier post... are you seriously trying
to sell leeching technology as a safety enhancement? No thanks!


I'm with Bill Ruehle 100%.

We have already info of no problem with leeching from 5 year old Flarm
experience in Europe.
But if somebody who is not serious about racing thinks this way,
let him buy it.
Lets keep this myth alive.
This way we have more Flarms.

Pick one, you can't have 'em both:

A. " We have already info of no problem with leeching from 5 year
old Flarm experience in Europe."

B. "In Parowan in blue and over Nevada unlandable desert, Flarm
would improve safety" (by making it easier to leech)
