Default Powerflarm's unknown effect on the first contests in US

The implied requirement of having FLARM may cause a number of pilots
(especially senior pilots) to stop flying contests because they only
plan to actively fly in competitions for a few more years.
They have to decide if spending the money for a FLARM device at this
late stage of their flying career is really worth it.


Also is a barrier to entry for new pilots considering flying their
first contest.

Maybe insurance rates will fall?
