There's a big problem with that system: most other aircraft, which -if
they carry any conspicuity device, will have ADSB, UAT, PilotAware, FLARM
or PowerFLARM, won't be able to see it.

Given that FLARM is the defacto global standard system, the last thing we
need is yet another conspicuity device that's not FLARM-compatible.

Having Pilot Aware is bad enough, but at least that system can see where
FLARM-equipped aircraft are via the OGN network.

However, it IS interesting to know that you think your life isn't worth
£1000 ($1300).
