Default PowerFLARM at Uvalde

Hi PowerFLARM Fans,

If you ordered a PowerFLARM Portable or Brick (and want to change to a Brick
version - with the option to upgrade to a Brick when they are available) and
you are going to be competing in the soaring contests at Uvalde, please let
your dealer know ASAP. Customers flying in Uvalde have top priority for the
distribution of the new units. We want the contest to be "safety enhanced"
with the PowerFLARM units as much as possible.

If you don't have a PowerFLARM Portable ordered and want to use a PowerFLARM
Portable at the upcoming contests at Uvalde, you may want to order a
Portable, or contact Rex Mayes at Williams Soaring to inquire about renting
one for the contest.

Best regards,

Paul Remde
Cumulus Soaring, Inc.

The ‘Portable’ PowerFLARM is now FCC approved and available in the
US.

Please contact your PowerFLARM dealer to execute your order or place a
new one.

The Brick is under development and testing but will not be available
before the end of the year. Customers who have ordered a ‘Brick’ have
the option to buy a ‘Portable’ PowerFLARM now and exchange it for a
‘Brick’ with remote display when it becomes available. See ‘Small
Print’ below.

If you are unsure on how to mount the ‘Portable’ PowerFLARM; it comes
with ‘Duallock’ industrial Velcro which holds it very well. In
addition mounting plates will be available through the dealers, along
with the popular and versatile RAM mounts.
See the following links for mounting options (warning, automated
translation, US site will be updated as soon as possible…)

6 AA batteries or rechargeables may be used (not inculded). External
12VDC can be wired using an RJ45 cable with standard IGC pinout.
