FL,

Then please just make sure you fly with Mode C selected, so I can use my TAS to tell me you're there at twenty miles range. Rather than wait for both of us to hope to spot each other at 4 or 5 miles, which is about the limit of human eyesight where light aircraft are concerned in most cases.

BTW, TAS gives me absolutely NO sense of security, just the opposite. Which is why I look out as much as anyone else when VFR. Controlled airspace gives me a slightly better feeling of security.
