FLARM in Stealth Mode at US 15M/Standard Nationals - Loved It!
For club and group flying, the full Flarm display (with leech mode) is terrific, although I suspect having climb rate information for gliders more than a short distance away might not be that useful in the west. I can't tell you how many times I've flown over to join friends reporting stellar climbs to arrive too low to connect with what was probably a rising bubble!
Otherwise, I thing John Cochrane is correct - position without climb info would enhance safety and provide
little useful tactical advantage.
