Default Flarm in the US

Has anyone noticed how big this unit is? It is way too big to fit
anywhere in my glider considering I already have a big moving map in
my panel.

FLARM on the ridge is a very good idea, but how many pilots will put a
unit in for FLARM to be effective as a system.

I like the idea of renting FLARM at contests where they are needed the
most, but I would be totally against a FLARM unit that does not have a
voice synthesizer. Looking at the darn display while in a thermal is
asking for trouble.

I would like to try the unit, but I am not ready to buy unless I see
it working in a real situation.
