Flarm in the US
The flaw to the rental idea is that it demotivates purchase of the
units and therefor diminishes the oppourtunity for improved safety on
non-contest flights. It has been reported here that in some
countries Flarm has reached near universal adoption and that safety
has been greatly enhanced as a result. I would not want to see us
adopt a scheme that makes achieving that same result unlikely or
significantly defered.
