Thanks for the report Evan. As a contest pilot who's been waiting patiently
for PF to come on line, I'm delighted to hear that it finally has.

Was the rectanglar PF display also available at Mifflin?
Does the rectangular display provide better viewing perhaps?

________________

Steve, Good questions. Yes the rectangular displays for the PowerFLARM
Brick are also being used at Mifflin. The PowerFLARM Brick is supplied with
either of the 2 displays shown in the links below - or without any display
(connected to a ClearNav or LX9000 or Oudie, etc.). The rectangular display
has the same size screen, but the bottom is not blocked by the knob (the
knob only very slightly blocks the bottom of the display in the Display57
version - it really doesn't seem to get in the way of anything). The 2
displays are functionally identical - other than the use of 1 knob on the
rectangular version and 2 concentric knobs on the 57 mm version. The
screens display exactly the same information. The displays are also the
same size as the display in the PowerFLARM Portable - but the user-interface
is a little different than the user-interface in the Portable. I find the
display size to be fine, but I have only flown with a PowerFLARM Portable so
far. I have played with the rectangular and Display57 versions in my
office - connected to my PowerFLARM Portable. Like the PowerFLARM Portable,
the user-interface is extremely simple - it is very easy to use.

I'm still updating my FLARM page with many new cable accessories. I hope to
have it done later today.
