If you are not planning on installing a PowerFLARM in your gliders, which would give you warning
of those "bug smashers" via PCAS or ADS-B/Mode S alerts, you could just get some Zaon MRX PCAS.
Portable and cheap (for anything that goes in an aircraft!), they do a good job of warning of transponder-equipped VFR traffic.

Every little bit helps!


Indeed, every little bit helps. BUT! PCAS is no substitute for a
transponder, which makes you visible to the big & fast traffic out there.
