I must heartily second this suggestion.
One of the continuing problems with FLARM is antenna placement and function.. There are many gliders in my area that have significant blind spots due to antenna placement and glider construction. For a safety device this is totally unacceptable to me. A safety device must be predictable and consistent across the entire installation population.

A thought is that SSA might be a good organization to find a way to investigate and standardize the installation of FLARM in virtually every glider flying so that there is a predictable way to install the devices and have acceptable function. Finding someone with the skills and time like Dick Johnson used to do with flight tests is one possible way. The SSA should take the lead on this type of research, especially since they require FLARM devices in competitions.

My two cents.
