Flarm antennaes are HIDEOUS. i would HATE to put one of those into my cockpit. in fact it would be one of the reasons i would decide not to put a unit it. now, before starting an argument, i'm not anti-flarm. but i AM anti ****ty hideous flarm antennae. i didn't spend all that time making our glider cockpit beautiful to stick that ugly piece right in my forward field of vision. ew.

Hmm, you obviously are in the "die early and leave a good looking corpse" camp!

Me, I can take a hideous antenna if it works. Just put it where you won't see it!

the flarm thing, i get it. i expressly said i was not anti flarm. i said very carefully that i was anti hideous flarm antennae. what puzzles me is that people accept the ugly antennae solution. if i was going to install a flarm, i too would put it somewhere you don't see it.

either way, for the foreseeable future i am a see-and-avoid kinda guy. That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous.
