Default FLARM

Hi

This summer season in Australia has seen our first use of FLARM
anti-collision system for gliders.
http://www.flarm.com/index_en.html
and
http://www.rf-developments.com/page008.html
(the local manufacturer for Australia)

It would seem that FLARM is becoming very rapidly accepted here in
Australia (my club now has all club gliders and tugs and all but a
couple of private gliders and tugs) fitted. I know that in continental
Europe (where FLARM originated) it is also very widespread.

I am interested in how the UK and US gliding fraternity feel about it -
and whether FLARM may also be of interest to the micro/ultralight and
hang glider fraternity.
