How hard is PowerFLARM to install ?
PowerFLARM is pretty small. Often it can simply be velcroed to the top of your instrument panel cover. The PowerFLARM will also be available as a “box” with remote display and remote antennas, which is more suitable for permanent installation in a glider. The Butterfly remote display screen is the same size as the on integrated into PowerFLARM and mounts externally or in standard 57mm panel hole. Click here to learn about installation. If you have a flight recorder that uses the IGC-standard connection (large telco style), you can plug PowerFLARM into your existing wiring. Power-FLARM integrates both GPS and radio components and antennas. These require proper installation to function as expected, in particular so the GPS and radio antennas are not shielded by carbon or metal. See more details on this question in the discussions on “Limits Of Operation” . Darryl Ramm provided an actual-size paper-model of the Power-FLARM that you can build if you want to see how it fits in your glider.
