Default How did you install your FLARM brick and/or ADS-B Out?

You could try a hood initially made of light cardboard to shade your
phone.Â* I use an iPad in my C-180 and it works just fine given the shade
from the high wing.Â* It's practically useless in direct sunlight.

Thanks Dan, but an phone is just not bright enough in my bright glider cockpit. The traffic displays sold for Flarm would do fine, but they only accept flarm data, which means I'd have to buy a flarm system. I suspect this to be a marketing decision to drive flarm sales. Because I think this, I will definitely not buy any flarm product.
