Default Is FLARM helpful?

Yes. Many pilots flying at OLC and XC events - or even casual XC flying - use Flarm to buddy fly. When used with simple, short radio communications it makes it pretty easy to get together and stay together, though generally the more experienced pilot(s) will need to pay attention to not getting too far out front as knowing where the lead glider is located is quite a different matter from catching up to it.
