We put it on the last nose spar in the left wing. Works great there.

If you have working mode-C transponder but no ADS-B and can get under B&C airspace you can penetrate the mode-C veil using an ADAPT, it is an email application for a FAA permission to enter the veil. Apply 12 hours prior to ETA to the veil, get an email back granting permission, checkin in with controlling airspace approach when nearing the veil and get a yes or no. They will ident you and give you a squawk code and basically flight follow you into your destination, under the airspace but inside the veil. See FAR/AIM or google FAA site for details and connecting links

I got the TailBeaconX physically installed a few days ago and having the AV-30 wired up. I installed an OAT sensor and still need to install the Av-Mag. Where did you put it? I’ve been having trouble deciding.

Also, you probably saw that the Ercoupe Adapter needs extra work for the TailBeaconX vs TailBeacon. Had to cut the hole in tail bigger as well as the adapter. Shout out the fellow member Raymond Knox who has been an incredible help.

I had a Narco 150 transponder and uAvionix SkyBeacon. The transponder started giving me problems of not holding squawk codes, the code would change mid flight and more than once I had to turn it off thus losing my ADSB out. I replaced it with another Narco 150 purchased at Sun and Fun 22. It lasted about a year and a half and it started showing two squawk codes (ghost code) at once. Fast forward; this year I upgraded to the TailbeaconX and an AV30C. uAvionix offers $1200 trade-in of upgrading.

Many airports in my area and areas I fly have transponder and Mode C requirements so I need them. I love the AV30/TailbeaconX combo. I also added the magnetrometer so I could have an accurate DG. I highly recommend the AV30C and TailbeaconX. I’m removing my current transponder and altitude encoder and shed a couple of pounds.

When the previous owner flew my plane down from New Hampshire to Ocean City, NJ, he had to snake his way around since there was no transponder or ADSB. I plan to fly from my home outside of Philadelphia to my summer place in Ocean City which unfortunately has PHL, Northeast Philly, Atlantic City, NJ and Trenton Mercer airports all in between. There is a corridor I can slide through, but not worth it. Last thing I wanted to do was spend $5k but it’s the right thing to do. If you have a working transponder, then the TailBeacon alone is only around $2,000.

My problem was I needed transponder and ADSB and my vacuum system is toast. So this combination of instruments handles it all for me. And I lose a good 10+ lbs by removing vacuum ones.
