Sorry after 3 years they still dont have it working, look for some
exciting releases from Filser and Backer first.

The new mode S transponder from Fliser is meant to be pretty good,
expensive compared to mode A and C but in Europe you will have to get
one soon.

Anyone know if there's a lightweight mode S xponder in the works that's
practical for cub types, gliders, whatever? I live in Europe, and the day
is fast appraoaching when these will be required on all aircraft flying in
or under controlled airspace, effectively confining all antiques to their
own field. I was wondering if a lightweight, battery powered option that
doesn't cost half as much as the airplane might be under development
somewhere. I've searched the net in vain, including google groups.

Anyone know?


Microair in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia have a contract or
agreement with our ATC to develop a lightweight ADSB transceiver.
still in development as far as I know but should eventually be
installed in every australian aircraft..
