Installed on 75 Piper Arrow, by owner supervised by AP-IA Straight forward simple and programming thru app was easy also AP-IA did not require rebalance of rudder as weight difference was negligible - your AP may have different opinion

Works as advertised. The instructions to get the plane to an open area while registering is pretty important. Unfortunately there is no reception warning notice instead it just stops moving to the next page of instruction

uAvionix tailBeacon Nav Light ADS-B Out TSO

Easy install. Since our plane is fiberglass, we mounted it inside the plane instead. Wired in the power and ground, configured it on the app, and it was done. Test flight checked out great with the FAA.

In stock and fast delivery.

Easy to install. I give this 5 stars because it seems to do everything that it advertised to do. Getting this ADS-B out product certified is straight forward after you get things figured out. When I called MSP Center to see if they could see the ADS-B out signal they said that they could not see it. Yet when I asked for a performance report it came back and said there were no issues. I guess the FAAs ADS-B out system is not up and running as I would have thought it should be.

Received it in 2 days, works amazing!

Always great service and never a problem with the products I purchase and the fast shipping is a plus.

Second one I have sold and installed. This was on a Baron. Easy install, easy to setup and configure. An elegant solution.

On time. Thank you

Easy install, although my Cessna 170B needed a new ground wire run. The setup through the app was easy

Easy to install. Works as advertised.

Online order was easy and shipped fast.. Thx ASI

great product easy to install and test with the app thank you

Installed...configured. Flown today and FA saw it!!! Just requested my PAPR.

Easy to install and works great.

Bought for our piper colt. Unfortunately it did not fit. We do have it and love it in the Stearman

Works great

Easy install, easy to configure

Super easy to install the Uavionix Tailbeacon on my C180. Use the existing wiring, complete the registration paperwork and go fly the recommended profile. Plan about two hours for everything, install, paperwork and first flight and of course easy ordering and shipping by Spruce.

Installed the Uavionix Tailbeacon on my ‘53 C180. The entire installation took about two hours - done. Plan 20 minutes using the existing position light wiring to install the compact device. Use the App to verify that the unit is powered and transmitting, complete the paperwork in about an hours time and then go fly the recommended flight profile. Once the flight is complete a quick log into the FAA website will verify that the unit is working or not, mine worked.

Best way to get it done!

Good little produce, easy to install and a little tricky to setup with the app. Make sure the aircraft is outside and your phone is on airplane mode (with WiFi connected) or you’ll be stuck on the instructions page not the setup page.

Excellent alternative to an otherwise expensive ADS-B out requirement. Easy installation and programming

I am an A&P I/A, it’s Very simple and inexpensive install. If you’re local to so cal give me a call and I can install and sign off for you. 949-204-0411

Installation and set up was extremely easy

Best option on the market for US ADS-B Out options. Easy install, works great!

Less than 1 hour installation. The TSO version populates the aircraft dimensions for most aircraft but allows changes. The product also populated the ICAO number based on the registration number entered. Great product!

I sent the ADS-B to my mechanic for installation as it is in for annual. I have yet to experience the joy of ownership as the plane is still in maintenance. Thanks for the quick shipping!

Excellent product

Worked great right out of the box, direction very clean and concise. Unit extremely accurate. Well worth the money.

Easy install, easy setup. Printed the FAA Report with ease. Great product, highly recommend!!

Easy install and configuration. Performance flight said system was working fine.

Great company to do business with!!!

Excellent service! I wonder if the rebate program still valid?

Easy to install Paper work with feds frustrating

Correct product Delivered on time

Great service after my order, two days, I think I should have received my normal discount though.

Have not installed it yet.

Easy install take your time with the app to set it up.

Easy install, easy setup. Great product, highly recommend.

Excellent product and was very simple to have installed

The simplest ADS-B solution out there. Easy to install and configure.

I had put off this effort since I was sort of expecting it to be a nightmare! but to my pleasant surprise, it was far easier than I expected. The unit came with no instructions, which is just fine, since everything is online and the reference to the online instructions were very easy. My application was installation on a 79 Mooney 231. The mounting system is well designed, one first mounts a plate, which is very nicely machined, on the aircraft, and then the unit itself, twist locks onto the plate with a pair of retention screws at 9 and 3 oclock position, they even included a little allen to tighten, nice little touch. I did hace to drill out the mounting plates screw holes for my aircraft, but that was not a fault of the system because the exisitng mounting points of the old tail beacon used larger screws, so it was either modify the airframe or the plate. the plate was the obvious path of least resistance. Programing took seconds, and then a quick flight and conversation with ATC, thransponder and ADSB out checked proper function!! super cool!!

Extremely simple mechanical installation. Configured via WiFi on a smartphone. Passed its FAA flight check without any problems.

I have installed quite a few of these lately. A couple of tips: The mounting screws are 4/40, and most lamps will not be mounted with screws that size. I recommend picking up a few 4/40, and 6/32 nuts prior to starting the job, just for fun. On a PA28, the lamp screws are directly into fiberglass. I was able to get the tailbeacon screws in, but it was not easy. I recommend having a tap on hand. I am seeing better gps signal numbers from these beacons than my garmin GDL82 has ever produced. gmail me a9548925559 for tech help. I am an IA.

Just the correct solution to ADSB

great

Aside from what I think is a power grab by the FAA and insanely ridiculous price gouging, this is a great product. Its literally hated by avionics shops, being they dont get to charge the 1500 bucks for installing that 4000 dollar transponder. The Skybeacon installed in about 10 min after splicing 2 wires and mounting. Set up with your iPhone takes about 5 minutes. 337 paperwork took the most time. Lastly, it works. My flight back home I confirmed ATC received my ADS-B out. Lets hope it works consistently. Well done Uavionix.

Received the correct model this time. Thanks

This is a great product. I have installed 2, so far. It is STCd for the Cessna 172. I am a qualified installer for uavionix. If your A&P needs support from an IA who is comfortable with the product regarding installation on other models, Gmail me at a9548925559

Installation (TSO version) took 30 minutes, including time needed to install Whelen type 2 pin plug on TailBeacon wire leads for a factory connection to the Position Light power plug on the Beechcraft. Setting the parameters took another 30 minutes. The ground check was done in 20 minutes, followed by a 30 minute flight check. No removing of interior side panels, floor, ceiling, or seats to route antenna or power cables. No modifications to the instrument panel. The uAvionix TailBeacon is an excellent solution to meet the Jan 1st FAA compliance requirement.

The staff in Corona were very helpful. They back ordered this for me since my rebate was expiring soon, it showed up a few days later and they called immediately. Installation was a breeze and setup was very easy. Passed validation flight on the first attempt. Note you may have to adjust the setting to read the transponder squawk code. Test it with various configurations of power draws and engine on/off to verify its consistently reading. Im happy I waited for this to come out. Note, after you submit for your rebate youll need to email the FAA rebate help line with a photo of your invoice/sn proving you bought the TSO version.

One well made unit. This is a very good solution to the ADSB mandate.

We have installed two of these units in experimental aircraft and they work perfectly. Installation and setup was easy in those aircraft so we expect no difference with the certified unit. In our opinion the most resoneable solution to the ADS-B requirement.

Spruce folks were very helpful with this order, especially given that I was on a tight schedule to meet ADS-B rebate requirements.

received tailbeacon very quickly and it was wrapped in bubble wrap for protection. all hardware and attachments inside box. good experience.

Unit is easy to install, this is not a 1090 Mhz Beacon, it transmits on the 978 Mhz frequency. However it does have ADS-B in on 1090 and 978 via its built in wifi for your iPad. You need to connect to the wifi within the first 5 mins of powering it up and then the wifi will stay on during your flight. It picks up your transponder squawk code to beacon out via the power wires going to the unit, but only in areas where the transponder is being pinged around larger airports.

Install was relatively straightforward for my Comanche. Read the details on install before purchase. The trailing edge of the stabilator covered an area intended to be available for the GPS antenna on the device. I spoke with both sales and tech support at uAvionix and they all agreed that appropriate GPS coverage could not be assured due to the stabilator blanking out the antenna. They allowed me to return the device.

Fantastic product. 1 star off for not having all the hardware in the box required for installation. For $2000 I think they could pop for a fastener assortment and an electrical connector pair. The installation was easy once I tracked down the parts. Configuration was easy and I was able to get the FAA rebate after my test flight. They do have a ne version with Extended squitter. For me that doesnt matter but if you fly out of the US you might look into the new product.

One of the least expensive ways to address ADSB. Since no added antenna is required install is relative easy, but it is not 15 minutes install as some say. Just 2 wires is correct, but allow time for the easy programming after you spend the time to get the aircraft info and external dimensions. Paperwork for filling in logbooks, etc. In my case, the screw size and thread provided did not match the tailcones. That required drilling out the provided mounting plate to accommodate bigger screws and larger flush fit openings. Have not tried a programing update yet. Plenty of helpful hints on internet for that. Several of these have been installed at our local flying field and everyone is pleased with performance to date. Time will tell with the electronics sitting out in the sun and cold. May need to cover like pitot tube sock for the long term elements.

Easy install,

Recently installed the TailBeacon. Quick and Easy. Be sure to read the Install instructions closely. I found out the hard way what happens if you dont. Do not seal the fwd end of the TBeacon where the wires come out. Seems like a good idea(seal out elements) but in actuality the elements need to get in- Atmosphere that is. the wire hole is the vent for the Altitude encoder inside the unit. If you seal it it will mess up the Pressure Altitude read out. Took about a hour start to finish. So far a good Install. and good ADS-B solution.

The mounting bracket did not fit my light housing and so I had to drill out the mounting holes to get the mounting screws to fit. For the money that is paid for this part, it should either come with a universal bracket or several brackets to get one to fit. I was not happy about it or make the price a whole lot less!

uAvionix tailBeacon Nav Light ADS-B Out TSO

Terrible support. I just learned about required service bulletin on my own. You now need a windows laptop and special download tools. Terrible. No iOS support. Very very un happy

Very marginal for ADSB compliance. Failed on my Mooney. Failed first ACR flight in 172. Passed second ACR flight by doing lots of circles and not very long in straight flight.

Not recommended. Got one that was unable to get the GPS coordinates after installed. uAvionix replace it with another one. After 2 years the unit got water inside and not transmuting data out. Better invest little more in more reliable product like Garmin.
