Well UH, I and a lot of other racers have found that Flarm radar
makes
racing more fun. Most of us are in it for the fun of it. Let's not
mess
with that great feature please.

And messing with delayed tracking would reduce the fun and
usefulness of
crew following and race monitoring. So that's a bad idea also.

Steve,
You are confusing pilots who are out to win a World Championship
with others who just want to tag along for fun. Kawa and other
serious racers are out to win a WGC, and the best ones don't want
others to be able to tag along for fun, or to gain a competitive
advantage on them through this technology. They view this as
leeching off their better glider flying abilities. That's why some of
them want the FAI WGC rules changed. You are not racing under
FAI WGC rules in the USA. UH is just making some suggestions
where the FAI WGC rules could be modified to lessen the gripes that
serious racers like Kawa have with the system as it exists now.
