Considering an Uavionix Tailbeacon X . Has anyone fitted one of these to a Jabiru ? . Looking for mounting ideas / methods .

Today was the day.
Reaching across and locking the passenger door made it very real .
Taxying down to the numbers - nice turn.
On the centreline.
Scan & flaps set.
Pin it.
Fast - and I'm off the ground - I'm really doing this .
Flaps
Clear left , centre, right.
Turn.
1000 feet. Level , fuel pump , throttle , trim .
Clear left , centre , right.
Turn.
Airspeed.
Carb heat.
Fuel pump.
Throttle.
Flaps.
Clear left , centre , right.
Flare.
And land.........I have no words to describe how I felt .
The circuit felt like i was in slow motion , but it passed in the blink of an eye .
Why not learn to fly at 57 ? Took a lot longer to pick up than I thought it would - but - already I am measuring age in before I flew an aeroplane , and after I flew an aeroplane .
It's an amazing , special feeling - and I get to do it again tomorrow . 🙂

Tailbeacon x
in Jabiru
Posted · Edited by tim900
I ended up mounting it inside the fuselage / tail area . Uavionics advised it would be fine , given the composite fuselage . They were right .
