I've got full ADS-B in all of my aircraft so no worries for me.

Been following this thread, as my glider has a TT21, and not sure
what else is connected to it (TN72 GPS?). If I understand correctly,
with the TT21 I cannot fly in A, B, and C airspace, but okay to fly
in the rest, correct?

Thanks,

Not only can't you fly IN those airspaces, you can't fly OVER them
either, which may be the bigger limitation. Going back to Minden from
the north the shortest distance may be over the Reno class C
airspace, which only goes up to 8,400 ft. But you will need to be in
compliance with class C airspace to even over-fly this airspace. The
non-compliant aircraft will either have to get a waiver from ATC or
fly 20 nm either east or west to avoid it altogether. Never mind that
this might put you into conflict with air traffic flying in and out
of Reno.

But aren't gliders exempt from the ADS-B rules?Â* Or is a non-equipped
glider not allowed to fly over the top of the airspace?

I'm equipped, BTW.

My understanding is gliders can fly over Class C airspace above 10,000'
without a transponder, so you could fly over Reno on the way home to
Minden - just don't sink below 10,000'. Of course, I think it's too
risky to fly without transponder in the Minden/Reno area (mode C on my
glider), and if I had a TT21, I put in a TN72 with a TA50 antenna. The
next glider will have a TT22/TN72 combo.
