PowerFlarm and ADS-B solution, can we find one?

You are correct. I do not have a Flarm and do not plan to purchase one,
though that could change if only there were not so many wild claims,
suggestions, scare tactics, calls for mandatory use, etc.

I only posted to this thread because of the illogic of some of the
claims and the outright falsity of others. Without going to the
calculus, I'll challenge anyone here to gain 1000' in a pullup in a
glider from 140 KIAS without performing some sort of unusual attitude
recovery afterwards.

Before retiring I worked as a systems engineer for 35 years so I know
something about specifying, designing, building, integrating, testing,
and delivering complex systems and, frankly, a lot of claims and
suggestions made here are just hogwash. You may now flame away - I'm
through trying convince some of you that the world is, indeed, round
(sorta).

doesn't make sense.



Do you really need information on another aircraft within 300 meters
vertical spacing from you? That's almost 1000 feet! IFR and VFR
traffic routinely pass each other head on, over taking, and at
oblique angles with only 152 meters (500') vertical separation. I
can understand your concerns in and around thermals, but not in
cruise.

Am I mistaken or did you post that you do not have a Flarm and do not plan to purchase one?
