Default FLARM in Stealth Mode at US 15M/Standard Nationals - Loved It!

I noticed that climb rate was often mentioned here as useful tactical information.
Those who flown with PowerFlarm long enough already knows that the climb rate PowerFlarm indicates is more often than not completely wrong. I suspect this is due to the poor sampling rate, or lack of TE compensation or both. I found comparing relative altitude much more accurate and useful.
