Tail light for Sonex-B

Postby dboeshaar » Wed Apr 17, 2024 7:08 pm

Greetings!

Two things (kinda related)

Thing 1
I need to get a taillight for my project. Nothing fancy. I got fancy with wing tip lights.
Put in a taillight because I thought I was going with ADS-B out from uAvionix. Different path now.

So? simple LED taillight?

Thing 2
When using a Trig T22 transponder, I think I want a dedicated remote, not the EFIS. I'm looking at GRT Sport EX and I was an easy Transponder control.
Any pictures of GRT in Sonex?

Thoughts?

Hi,

I saw your photo of a tear-drop shaped tail light fairing and was wondering where you got it. That would work perfectly on my legacy Sonex and I would like to get one.

Thanks!
