Just to correct one thing from Pace, I have not flown a glider solo for many years, so would not consider myself to be a glider man. However, I do not want to bump into one. Having been involved in “aircraft interoperability” consultations one and two (mode s) and fitted several transponders to aircraft under the LAA system, some with very limited electrics I do have a good knowledge of the problems.
I will be flying with Chris’s FLARM in the very near future. I was hoping to fly up to Mull today for a long weekend with Mrs Rod1, but 30kn winds over the lakes put us off!
