I got a chance to look at and hold the Skybeacon and Tailbeacon at the NW Aviation Trade Show near Seattle this last weekend. I was suprised at how small and light the Tailbeacon is. I don't think it is any heavier then the tail light assembly it replaces. I am still planning on it for my Grumman.
Rich, Wow, you married the RIGHT woman! Congrats - what a dream marriage! (kidding, but very happy for you)
Great to hear the TailBeacon is impressive to you - that is a good report. I am looking forward to it as well. As an aside, I am FINALLY getting my plane painted, as it has the original paint from 1976 on it and looks absolutely awful. Hoping to get new paint, seats, panel, ADSB, wheel pants, windows, Nu-lights and interior painted all at once...
I've owned the plane since 1998 and with the exception of going away to both the long wars, have flown it 100 hours a year. Been saving up for this for 10 years. It's time. I am just so glad there is an affordable non-intrusive solution like this. Thanks for your report on the TailBeacon! Mike N714AJ
