Km the only one really stirring the pot is you. We have been having a civil, non name calling discussion here as evidenced in my and dan marotta's and others posts. That is, untill you piped in.

My argument is not straw man, I was, and am, attempting to address the bigger picture involved here, it is the elephant in the room that many including yourself dont want to recognize, namely FAA over reach and diminishing airmanship skills.

I know fully well the dynamics and intricancies of the ADSB systems having an electrical engineering son who is intimately involved in their development. Discussions along the tecnical lines is good and fine, but when all is said and done, we end up just having to pull out the cash and install the systems that the Feds mandate. You can accept the little placating crums like this one (the original point of this thread) the FAA sends your way, myself along with the EAA and others will continually fight to limit federal mandates on our flying freedoms. You can thank me later.
