Good points, Noel.

Dan -

The statistics show over and over that glider-to-glider collisions are more
of a threat than glider-to-GA/Miliatry. FLARM isn't intended to be a perfect
solution; it's intended to provide a very reliable, medium-cost, low-power
solution for the biggest collision threat: other maneuvering gliders.

Mode C and even Mode S systems are not well-suited for combating
glider-on-glider carnage when the craft are in close proximity and
maneuvering.

There simply is no perfect solution; but I for one will take the single
solution that reasonably covers the broadest range of targets and
situations - and right now that's a PowerFLARM.
