I just installed a Uavionix Tail beacon on my 601XLB

i am having problems with getting acceptable FAA reports

Uavionix has been helpful trying to resolve the issue.

anyone here have positive or negative experience with the Tailbeacon?

im not sure if its my plane/installation or a defective tail beacon 

it’s not getting a very good gps signal.

before I send it back I’d like to hear your experience with a tail beacon.

thanks

    Dave,

    I am building a 650 B and am very interested in the uavionics tail beacon system. Since I have not purchased or installed the tail light assembly as yet, I have no info to share. However, I would like to follow your links for future referencing and also get your, and other's experience in the installation process if possible.

    The only thing I noted which was posted by them relative to the uavonics tail beacon was a notice about a distance spacing limitation from the unit to the antennae, thus I also wondered if the cable would require special shielding to eliminate rf interference in the event it passed close to the antennae?

    Good luck in the solution.
