Makes it ok for cruising just turn off when thermalling in a crowd.


Two points to consider:

- how long does it take to come up again after its been turned off?

- FLARM will warn you about anybody playing silly buggers behind or under
you. This is particularly useful if you're flying something with poor
rear viz, such as an SZD Junior or 1st gen Discus. Anything you've
turned off won't.
