hall of shame?

Well the PowerFLARM worked well this weekend. Unfortunately Steve wouldn't slow down enough for us to fly together but there was one point where we crossed paths close enough to show up. He was directly in front of me circling a few miles and above and I could see him. It did seem that whenever his belly was to me he would disappear but he left that thermal and I never saw him again until he finished his task after I had landed.

I also saw a few ADS-B target on airliners passing high overhead AND got a collision alert on a single engine Mode C airplane that passed near my thermal on the last leg. I made a blind call on the nearby airports CTAF and got ahold of him. He was surprised to see a glider 35 miles from the gliderport I think.

I wired mine up yesterday to ships power and also set it up to talk to
my ipaq310 running LK8000. No other sailplane pilots are flying with
Flarm yet where I fly, but I do get lot's of ADS-B hits. I'm looking
forward to seeing how other PF targets show up on the LK
screen..................now to get the rest of the guys in my area to
get Power Flarms.
