Video from Day 1 of Region 4 North 2012
Note that PowerFLARM did not give a collision warning (the display with dots for clock position and high/level/low indication). *It warned of the presence of the converging glider, and gave direction/range/altitude info to facilitate visual pickup.
If I understand things correctly, this means that in "stealth" mode,
neither of the two gliders would have had any indication of the
other's presence by flarm. An interesting observation for the parallel
flarm leeching thread
