You do realize that almost every glider flying around Minden has Flarm, so your highest risk in Minden area is glider midair. We not talking gaggles here, we talking about one of the most condensed glider traffic in the US with 3 active gliderport. Your priority is wrong, powerflarm should be your next priority after transponder.
While it is true that your ADSB will warm other powerflarm equipped gliders, such as myself, I believe you will cause constant alarm to all your buddies in thermals since you don’t have powerflarm. If this will be the case, soon you will find yourself lonely in the sky...

According to Airnav there are a total of 353 aircraft based at Minden. 101 of these are gliders. There's a lot of GA traffic there, not just gliders. PowerFlarm, given its half baked implementation, is not the panacea. ADS-B is the future in the US. The FLARM guys need to get their **** together and conform to the realities of the US environment.


Here we go again.
