Control head required. tailBeaconX-can be controlled by either an EFIS or the uAvionix AV-30-C
Hardware worked perfectly, kits are complete, remember to order sufficient 22 gauge shielded wire. Push fit pitot static lines connections on back of AV - 30 make life simple. Info is spread out in three manuals. it’s all there but takes time to digest it all to see the big picture for installing the units. Set up is software sketchy, took a few tries and some waiting for the magic to take hold but once established everything worked. I’ll purchase another unit for the DG once the wifi is approved for certified aircraft. Wish they could produce a gps for certified to feed position to radios and for traffic.
