Nobody anywhere has flown with PowerFlarm with its increased range and
capabilities. My post was based on the information I have about
PowerFlarm and my own speculation as to what it could do to US
competitve soaring if it was "required by rule" to be operated in open
mode 100% of the time. I'm not for mandating anything with regards to
Flarm operation. Personally I don't care if some want to try Flarm
team fly, have at it. That type of team flying is very different from
radio teamwork in that you can't select your teammates with Flarm.
What I want to see is for everybody that races to put a Flarm in their
ship, turn it on (mode or your choice), than lets go race and not run
into each other.
