Did I miss the update? Anyone heard anything?

I think it's understandable that there would be delays in development
and certification. *What is not understandable is that customers are
not being kept informed.

Perhaps we would have more leverage if we had actually paid deposits
rather than just declaring intent to purchase.

How will deposit leverage speed up FCC approval?

It is also disappointing to learn (http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/
flarm.htm) that in addition to hardware-related delays "Initially some
secondary features are missing but will be available via software
updates (PCAS Mode A/C display, flight recording, ADS-B target
alarming and dataport output ...)."

Agreed. I will be using mine primarily as a PCAS device and flight
recorder until flarm catches on. Hopefully it won't be too long before
they enable non-flarm functionality.

Yes the functions they will provide (above and beyond basic Flarm) are
not much use in the US for the time being. The functions that are
important are not going to be there.
