Default PowerFLARM updates and installation notes

You have to admit that the huge honking dipole antenna, coax cable,

any cool industrial design awards.

I hope to heaven you guys can work out a prettier antenna and
installation.



Thanks to Dave and PowerFLARM US for the hard work at Perry and Mifflin to improve the PowerFLARM range issue. However I totally agree with John regarding the uglyness and size of the dipole antenna in the above URL. Forgive me for being reckless with my opinion but that installation sucks and is just not acceptable in the middle of one's vision field. My PowerFLARM order is "on hold" until a "no restricted vision" antenna is available. Please, please come up with something better.
