Not really on topic (sorry) but I want to reiterate how impressed I am
with the performance of my PowerFlarm, so far testing it playing
chicken in two golf carts and flying with it in my power plane.

While fitting the mounting bracket in my glider (ASH26E), I managed to
drop the PF bending the Flarm antenna fitting off to the side about
1/8". Pushed it back straight and it sort of snapped back into place.
Still, since the antenna fitting is circuit board mounted, I decided
to disassemble and check for internal damage. Note, this breaks the
seals and voids stuff, so don't try this at home - - once upon a long
time ago I was a Navy electronics tech, so even lots of wiring smoke
doesn't faze me. No internal damage and antenna connector checked good
too.

From the outside, boxy design, I half expected the interal components
to be a bit kluged - - you know, a wire or component tacked on here or
there to make up for a goof in the initial design, that sort of thing.
What I found was most impressive high quality construction throughout.
Nicely engineered and constructed. So, the PowerFlarm we waited so
long for has been, IMO, well worth the wait. Just don't drop it on a
concrete hangar floor.
