Mounting options
The rear of this instriument has a clear, flat space, ready to attach the included hook-and-loop sticky-back strip to. This means you can then attach the unit to any suitable mount or surface with loop-fastener on top. For example, for paragliding, you could use either a suitable paragliding leg or harness instrument mount, or a flight deck (cockpit), as long as they have a suitable surface with loop-fastener on top.

What are FANET, FLARM and FANET+?
- FANET (acronym of Flying Ad-hoc Network) is a low cost open source system for transmitting position and sharing information between FANET users. It helps you to know where others are, and others know where you are, including your buddies. It is not a collision avoidance system per se, as that is a FLARM patent.
- FLARM (acronym of Flight Alarm) is a proprietary system for air traffic awareness, collision avoidance, identification and tracking for General Aviation (GA) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). It helps prevent aircraft equipped with FLARM from colliding with each other.
- FANET+ is a combination of a FANET transceiver and a FLARM transmitter i.e. FANET (TxRx) + FLARM (Tx) a.k.a. a "FLARM Beacon". It helps prevent things hitting you, but not you hitting things. It helps you to know where others are, and others know where you are, including your buddies, and helps prevent aircraft equipped with FLARM from colliding with you.
