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

Imagine trying to explain this to the FAA, or to your wife, or to a tort lawyer after an accident.

"Our contests were becoming too weak assed, so we found a way to make it more manly to stop people from finding out where other pilots were moving in 3 D at 100 mph until they were 60 seconds away... More or less,depending on their antenna location, how much metal was in their cockpit, etc etc.. Sometimes 90 seconds, sometimes 20 seconds, who knows? It's not like any of us really test how good each of our installations are. But I digress... We felt that the compromise in safety by reducing the device that let us know where everyone was by 75% was utterly worth the increased sense of manliness that we all felt. Oh, and apologies for your dead husband, he was a nice guy. For what it's worth, he felt like a total man just before he died, because he loved the testosterone laden sense of joy that comes from being a manly non follower".

Awesome.

Put differently, no, I don't agree.
