Yikes. *That review is going to hurt! *I have to disagree. *I think they are great products and had no trouble reading the display with polarized glasses. *I did mount it straight ahead though so maybe...

I flew with mine last season in Uvalde. *My dad is flying with one in FL at current. *It works very well. *It's user interface is simple and well thought out. *Its proximity alerts for other gliders is IMPRESSIVE!!!!!

Our only support request from FLARM would be a user select-able proximity alarm (default 2-3 miles?) for non FLARM traffic. *At current there are NO ALARMS for transponder or ADSB general traffic. *That traffic could hit you and you would never get an audible or visual alarm...as I understand it from my Dad's experience this winter in FL.

FLARM FOLKS, Please make this non flarm traffic alarm happen, and right quick. *This kind of traffic as important to avoid as gliders! *And the alarm is key to safety in my opinion. *That should be fairly simple to add. *Please get it out by spring.

As far as enhancements such as unit size, batteries, etc... I'm sure that new models and enhancements (as with ALL PRODUCTS) will come with time.

I can see pilots looking at the display instead of looking outside.
Pretty bad indeed! What did they think?
