Yep I deserved that, just one little L missing. Must have been the salt lost affecting my logic from pushing OJ five times a day for runway changes pre launch in January. Here goes again, Matt what would be your guess to setup and design a standalone reconfigurable FLARM type of system., I

Re: [Aus-soaring] Update from Flarm on Unsolicited Email Circulation

it gets to be a moot point. Unless someone wants to make a cheap enough and open version of comparable quality such that we all change over, then Flarm will continue to charge a reasonable amount sufficient to keep their business running and protect their business accordingly. that's

I guess crops could be harvested with gliders using ground effect... perfect practice for comp finishes at Lake Keepit, etc Thanks & Regards, Nelson Handcock 0409 149919 http://www.linkedin.com/in/nelsonhandcockaustralia On Mon, Mar 7, 2016 at 2:20 PM, Bob Dircks

Re: [Aus-soaring] Update from Flarm on Unsolicited Email Circulation

FLARM's idea of licensing is for you to produce identical hardware to run their proprietary software on.[1] There is no standard, open or closed, to license and implement. This really doesn't have any bearing to the ISO standards writing process, except in how dissimilar it is. As for the

As pointed out by your friend Mike earlier, you are incorrectly barking up the wrong tree. There is nothing stopping anyone from having a go a producing at equivalent product for $10 that is better and could easily replace every Flarm on the planet with their own solution. In time, this

Mike, thats sounds pretty hypocritical coming from you. You of all people should be honest in acknowledging the challenging business economics that are apparent in serving what is a tiny community. Flarm have done a great job over the many years supplying a reliable, life saving product that
