Baker Avionics Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Just curious, how much are you paying for your SkyBeacon ADS-B these days? Looks like the TSO for the Tailbeacon ADS-B Out should be shipping in the beginning of April. The reason why I am asking is I am thinking about running a package special and even a quantity discount if several owners purchase in bulk with one order to decrease the overall costs. Just doing a little research here. What cha got? Would that interest anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, it’s scheduled shipping date is 02/28/2019, but who knows when it will actually go out. Jim @bluehighwayflyer that's great! Keep us posted!!!

I was planning on purchasing and putting in the SkyBeacon as last I had heard the Tailbeacon was still up in the air for certification. I would be interested in the Tailbeacon if it is coming out soon, if not I will buy the SkyBeacon to get compliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culver LFA Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I was in a group buy for the tailbeacon at $1725, I think there was 20-21 people in. Unfortunately, since there is no approval date on the tailbeacon I decided to cancel the order and went with a Stratus ESG. I figured the extra expense was worth the international capability (1090), having a new transponder replacing my functional (but for how long) KT76, and I can claim the FAA rebate in time. Not knowing when the tailbeacon would be approved was another big factor. My avionics shop gave me a great deal on the ESG and, since he is absolutely slammed with work, allowed owner assist which saved a bunch of labor $$$.
