Default The truth about Flarm Stealth and Competition definition...

Can someone please explain why RC is pushing this position at this time? There is no "competition" mode software available. ADS-B is four years from making all this teeth gnashing pointless, as far as I know the top ten finishers in each national are not loudly complaining about Flarm leeching (we already have visual leeching), Leeching is not illegal via the rules anyway ( how many times does the top pilot leech the second place pilot on the last day of a competition) and the number one...RC will not make FLARM mandatory, but they will mandate FLARM be hobbled by software not available that reduces the anti-collision information and distance. ALL THIS WILL BE MOOT IN FOUR YEARS, and possibly sooner due to early adopters of ADS-B out! Wouldn't a better use of resources be to attempt to get 100% acceptance of FLARM? Just saying....
