I'm with you, T8.

I read this exact strategy back in the 80s; I think it was in
Reichmann's book. I couldn't wait to perform a Split-S through a
thermal. I was a new guy and thought that would be cool. The "come to
Jesus" meeting at the end of the day with the other occupants of the
thermal was, shall we say, enlightening.

So here's my take on this whole Flarm "stealth" thing:

Those who want stealth mode, don't want others to be able to identify
them and become remoras. That seems a nicer word than leeches. They
state the reasons for their opposition in clear terms.

Those who don't want stealth mode want to be remoras but don't want to
admit it. In an attempt to push their view, they fall back on Mom,
apple pie, children, lawyers, and safety. We see the same arguments all
the time in other activities and they become more unlikely and extreme
with each round.

a correct strategy is to turn sharply 180 degrees from the intended departure direction and dive through the core so that you have maximum speed gain with minimum loss to traverse the sink.
No.
