On the Transponder issue, If a battery is required to make the engine run(for electronic ignition or coil and points ignition) a Transponder is NOTrequired. But........if you have just one device taking power from thatsystem, (handheld radio, light, intercom, cell phone, GPS, electric turn &bank, etc.) Then a Transponder is required. A battery, starter andgenerator/alternator JUST for the engine to operate is not considered anelectrical system requiring a Transponder. We are located inside the 30 mile Mode C ring for Atlanta and routinely flyamongst all the Delta jets. We can't fly in their airspace, but they candang sure fly in ours!Barry DavisNX973BP-----Original Message-----

For Jim - Yes to the locking clip. I don't remember the sizes - sorry. Had afriend bring several different sizes from a bike shop where he worked. If I wereto do it again I think I'd just use two female halves and secure with appropriatehardware, like the pictures posted earlier in this thread.Kevin--------Kevin "Axel" PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 15:19:00 -0400Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Project for sale, (transponder)

That's how I interpret it. It was a concern for me as KSU is within the 30nm ring for Cleveland and one reason for me opting to not have an electrical syst. That=2C and I'm a purist:)Doug DeverIn beautiful Stow OhioDate: Wed=2C 15 Jun 2011 21:50:38 -0400Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Project for sale=2C (transponder)
