WmInce Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 Eric has generated a lot of excitement, with regards to the ADS-B solution, for the CT. Thank you Eric, for you contribution.

CT4ME Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 I believe there is, for those who need it, a companion product that does IN. Otherwise, Stratux, Scout, or maybe Garmin GDL-39...?
coppercity Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Posted July 25, 2017 That is correct, an IN counterpart is in the works, or you could keep your Nav lights and use the Echo UAT for both. Lots of options!
Eagle Wings USA Posted July 26, 2017 Report Posted July 26, 2017 I'm wondering if them configuration of the CT wings will interfere with the operation of the unit since most wings do not curve down on the tips
Duane Jefts Posted July 26, 2017 Report Posted July 26, 2017 I visited their booth at Oshkosh a couple days ago. They said if you want additional information call 844 827-2372 extension 2 and talk to Shane. He should be able to answer all your questions. The unit weighs 2.61 ounces. and is very small.

coppercity Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Posted October 2, 2017 The uAvionix Sky Beacon will be released for LSA and Experimental November 1st. uAvionix will have some available at Copper State fly-in this month if you want to take a look at them in person. Let me know if your interested.
FredG Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 Eric, I saw the Sky Beacon at OSH and thought it was very clever. My only question is whether there is any issue with the ground plane for the ASDB-out antenna if mounted on a plastic airplane? Thanks, Fred
coppercity Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Posted October 3, 2017 Good point Fred, I will see what I can find out.

Thanks, Fred Fred, The units are being tested on a Cessna with the fiberglass wingtip and are working great so apparently the built-in antenna doesn't need additional ground plane. Eric
Ed Cesnalis Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 @FredG Our wingtips may be fiberglass but our planes are carbon fiber.
WmInce Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 In Foreflight's latest release, they announced new support for uAvionix EchoUAT. So now, using Foreflight, you can see wx and traffic, via EchoUAT, on your iPad. It just keeps getting better and better.
FredG Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 Eric, thanks for the additional information. Fred
coppercity Posted October 5, 2017 Author Report Posted October 5, 2017 I should have a Skybeacon to test out next week. I will bring it up to Page if I get it in time.
coppercity Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Posted October 16, 2017 Got back from Page this afternoon and spent 10 minutes installing the Skybeacon on our CTLS. With the adapter plate I made there are no modifications to the wingtip. MRA in progress and hopefully approval for flying soon to test it out ?.
Lsapilot Posted March 24, 2019 Report Posted March 24, 2019 Coppercity, Can you tell me what modifications you had to make to install the device on the wing tip. How is the unit working out for you? Would appreciate any info you could give me. thanks...
