Hi Don,

your opinion is precisely the contrary of nearly all pilots who are
flying in really crowded airspace (the Alps).

I guess the sales numbers of FLARM speak for themselves - and so far I
have NEVER heard anyone who has seen it in action doubt its
effectivity. 100% positive user comments. Impressive.

A lot more impressive than your opinion which isn't based on any
direct experience with FLARM.
