Default PowerFLARM antenna mounts



The common statement among pilots with PowerFLARM was "I can't believe
anyone would fly without PowerFLARM".


Agree...no arguments. My point is anything protruding into the available plexiglass field-of-vision is not desirable and IMO not acceptable. Example: there appears to be three objects above TT's glare shield base; in a "perfect storm", an aircraft could easily "hide" in the shadow of TT's compass. Splitting hairs? Maybe...but all it takes is missing one thermaling bird or a glint off a wing to change your day from outstanding to average or to DNF or to (God forbid) even worse.

Respected manufactures, please do not recommend application of your products into one's field-of-vision.
