Have there ever been any trials of the Luneberg lense in a modern glider? It would be very interesting to see the results of any tests. As a low hours glider pilot I am VERY interested in anything that gives me an extra change against the heavy stuff.
It isn't only GA and low level military traffic we need to watch out for in class G, now we are getting 737 traffic that cannot read about wires to 3000 and intense gliding!
The issue over the all white glider has been looked into and the trial indicated dayglo panels don't help either so who is going to produce the £500 5oz transponder that runs on a pp3 battery for 12 hours!
Still trying to keep it up!
