Default ADSB out in tow planes

What is Flarm Inc guidance on Flarm-ADSB glider-towplane interoperability? Trying to determine the true repeatable behavior of Flarm and ADSB based on a few experiments is back-assward.

You might want to try putting the towplane ICAO ID on FlarmNet and, after the update is available, installing the updated FlarmNet file on the display devices.

Possibly the PowerFLARM will then process the ADS-B return as a towplane. No guarantees, but it may be worth a try and the rest of us would like to know.
