OK this is kind of silly but the the actual size of the PowerFLARM

think the renderings on the PowerFLARM *web site makes the unit look a
bit larger that it really is.


Anyhow being a visual kind of person (and somebody who "thinks" in
Photoshop and Illustrator). I've made a very simple paper cutout model
that anybody interested in the actual size of a PowerFLARM can print,
cut out, fold and stick together. You can use this to see how the
PowerFLARM will look in your cockpit.


The PDF files are on my blog at *http://www.darryl-ramm.com/2010/08/b...flarm-paper-mo...


Maybe this would also be handy for leaving lying around the house and
using it to casually bring up with your better half why its a good
idea to spend some more money on the soaring addiction. :-)

Thanks Darryl,

It's up and running, but when I hold it on one particular
configuration it shows a loss of signal strength. *Will you be
offering rubber bumpers to address this issue?

Craig


Just avoid holding it that way.
