I am contributing to the pool for the amount of one unit, and I will have
my money back after three years but I understand that any offer amount is
appreciated. It is a nice initiative on the part of Rex who has of course a
business finality but for which he has to take some risks and an initial
disbursement of money which given the number of units (20 at $1,200 each)
is sizable.
He takes this initiative to accelerate the diffusion of the instrument and
I contribute for the same reason, since the theoretical utility of the
FLARM is maximum when everybody has it. A half-way adoption is not
effective: conversely, each glider that becomes equipped with a FLARM makes
a jump of increase in safety for two gliders.
