It's a wingtip mounted ADS-B transponder.

Oh, I've heard of those. But I have no plans to equip, so didn't pay attention to the brand names.

On topic, from their website:

It will subsequently be available to a large number of certified aircraft through an Approved Model List Supplemental Type Certificate (AML-STL). Certification is expected in Q1 of 2018.

You can't just throw real information into a derailed thread like that! Go pull your plane out of the hangar and push it back inside three times without flying as punishment!  :P

I will try to refrain from bringing threads back on track in the future.

Experimental version is $1500. I hope they can keep it cheap for the certified version. Quite a pricey piece held on by a few screws. I wonder if it comes with some sort of theft insurance like all of the cellphone companies provide. Or will they supply tamper-proof screws?  Anyone know if Uncle Sugar will bring back the rebates? This thing came out a year too late...

In current configuration the Skybeacon won’t fit inside the enclosed light cover of my K. I rarely fly over 18k.
Guess the nav lights have to be on for it to work?
