Flarm may help, it will definitely make an already expensive sport
more expensive. It will also contribute to more heads in the cockpit.


How much experience do you have with Flarm?

Default Barnaby Lecture

John,
Excellent lecture. I agree with your opinions and conclusions.
Especially the part about having fun. I'm a fairly new contest pilot,
flying a LS6 in a ASW27 (15M) class instead of sports, because I
dislike handicaped flying. New contest pilots, need to have fun, they
are in no danger of winning anything, the learning curve is extremely
steep, and everyone else has been doing this a long time. So if they
are not having fun, they won't come back. Flying in a contest with
your friends is about as much fun as one can have. It's like summer
camp for adults with some really cool airplanes thrown in.
