December 4, 2007 - Transponder powered up!

Today's system was the transponder.  Check out the transponder at the bottom of the stack.  It's powered up!  Yes, that's a digital 1200 you see. 

 

Actually, there's not much wiring involved with the transponder.  The red power wire to the bus.  The black ground wire to the ground bus, and a serial encoder wire that goes to the Dynon.  Then there is the antenna wire that I had to make.  No big deal, just put the coax terminal on each end.  I had done some of that during the Citabria restoration so it wasn't completely new. 

 
The transponder antenna wire plus into the antenna below the co-pilots left rudder pedal.
