Default FLARM, ADS-B, Transponder made easy??

Like to fly at both TSA (Dallas - Fort Worth) and Moriarty (ABQ). MY heirs worry more about me hitting an airliner than another glider. Have high end avionics in the Piper (Garmin 750 with ADS-B in and out), but Piper display does not seem like it would help much in a situation like near cloud base with an unlimited height start gate. I have noticed with ADS-B that as traffic gets close the screen seems to distract me from looking outside. Did not seem to be any reasonable place to put the portable FLARM in the Libelle. Seems crazy that we are dealing with three different (co dependent) devices to solve the same low probably problem. Four systems actually if you count looking outside. Getting the Libelle ready for next season. Help me. Bill Snead 6W


I looked at how to put PF in my Libelle. The portable is hopeless. The brick should be no particular big deal but I have not yet looked at antenna positions.
It may well be that the best place will be in the fuselage aft of the canopy. The whole thing could go back there and just run the display cable forward.
For a display I think I would go with the LX display as it is likely going to be the easiest to find a place to put it and, from the comments I have heard, is easiet to see.
Glad to see you decided to keep your nice glider.
Good luck
