Similar problem at our club - 3 flarm-fitted club gliders. Members fill out multiple declarations, and use the one for the glider they fly. The flarmcfg - Tool is very easy to use. The type of glider and registration should be available. Class is important for records only. For PowerFLARM, 4 seconds gives a nice looking trace and keeps data records smaller. The declaration is last - this is our club std 50 km flight (takeoff, start, turnpoint, finish, landing) for a 100km out and return). Creating it takes only a few seconds... Keep all in folders for each a/c (or have a different USB stick for each) and move a single flarmcfg.txt file to the highest level of the stick. Insert into usb slot, turn on, let load, go fly, download file, bask in the adulation of your peers.

Here's what the output of the flarm tool looks like; note, it doesn't change flarm or transponder settings - only declaration things.
