Default Flarm Display Mount

Walt, interesting mount for the display. Looks like the standard
Butterfly backplate and Ram ball, but with a custom mount from the Ram
ball to the siderail.

Can share some information about your display mount installation?

Follow up on PF Brick install:


Photos of Discus 2A PowerFlarm antenna install on panel cover. ADS-B is forward antenna; FLARM is rear most one.
The hook forward on panel cover is where I locate my SPOT tracker. GPS antennas are under cover between two PF
top antennas (Volkslogger and PF GPS). ADS-B and FLARM antennas are taped to a piece of *"L" shaped plexiglass
(2x2x3 inches) all velcroed to panel top. Got the plexiglas from Staples Office and "hacked" it from the original purpose
of displaying 81/2x11inch announcements.
No compass to worry about. Interestingly enough, Discus 2A ops manual didn't require one nor did the FAA when
I got my experimental certificate.


RAM mounted Butterfly is also visible.

Pardon the dumb question.............but does Power Flarm have a
logger function at all right now? if so, is the mini SD the way to
access the file?

I bought the stand-alone unit and it is installed in my glider right
now...........I have a cable on order to replace the Garmin puck that
I am using to feed GPS to my Ipaq310.......the interface will be via a
Goddard PS-5a, hope to just remove and replace the puck with the PF
and make a change to LK8000 baud rate.
