Hi Fuji
Final, final word - the next time I go up in a glider at least you can be certain it will only be if it IS fitted with a transponder.
Insist it's fitted with FLARM too, that is much more likely to help.
And you are much more likely to find one, than a transponder equipped one.
I also hope you will at least have the compassion to shed a tear for the pilot in the next aircraft you run into whilst wringing your hands that if only you could have done something about it of course you would.
Or the pilot that runs into me because he wasn't looking out, and couldn't be bothered to fit a £400 FLARM?
