The price of a TT22 vs TT21 is about $2500 vs $2300 (approx.). This $200
to $300 gap isn't nearly big enough for me to even start to think about
going the illegal route. As always YMMV.

What regulation makes it illegal for a glider to use the TT21 between
15,000 and 18,000'? Does it make a difference if the glider is licensed
"Experimental"?

Even if it is illegal, can we at least agree it is entirely suitable for
it's intended purpose: providing ATC and TCAS a glider's position and
altitude?
