Wrong again, Stevie boy.

Not wrong at all, it really is because you don't wish to operate it in any
airspace that would require you to have them.

How the hell do YOU know how I wish to operate MY airplane?

How could it be any other way?

You're the self-anointed expert on FAR's Stevie, you tell me!

(Hint: don't expect me to answer if you're too lazy to do your own
homework, or too stubborn to listen to the correct answer!)

The airport where I'm based is under Tampa's
mode C veil therefore all aircraft (besides mine ) must be squawking
1200 the instant their wheels leave the ground. Now why do you s'pose
that is?

It isn't.

Huh? WHAT isn't?!??

Aircraft assigned a discrete code don't have to squawk 1200,

Huh? Who said anything about a discrete code?

and any aircraft which was not originally certificated
with an engine-driven electrical system or which has not subsequently
been certified with such a system installed, or a balloon or glider, does not
even have to have a transponder.

Finally! I see you've been studying 91.215 like I told you, what,
THREE days ago after you planted your foot firmly in your big
mouth trying to impress with your superficial knowledge of the
FAR's. So, how's the crow taste Stevie boy?

If you were familiar with the FARs you would have known that.

Riiiiiiiiiight Stevie. Whatever you say Stevie. You can backpedal all
you want, but you're STILL more full of **** than a brontasaurus with
no ass!
