Hi,


I met with Lee Kuhlke (FLARM USA) on Saturday at the Boulder Performance
Soaring Seminar. *He received word that morning from FLARM that the latest
ship date estimates a
*- PowerFLARM Portable: May
*- PowerFLARM Brick: June


These dates are not the hoped for April dates - which is a huge bummer
because we all want to use PowerFLARM for the start of the soaring season -
and especially the soaring contest season. *However, it is a new product -
so this delay was not completely unexpected. *I'm sure it will be a great
product when it arrives. *And it will be here for the majority of the 2011
soaring season.

Any word on the U.S. Flarm shipments?

I suspect most of us assumed this would be the case when we put our
orders in. *I certainly did. *Bringing a new product to a new market
is a daunting task. *There appears to be lots of technical support and
financial backing to make this happen & I'm not too worried about
FLARM *becoming a reality in the US. Thanks to everyone involved in
pushing this forward.
