ADS-B Self Install...
 

...I am focused on FreeFlight RANGR FDL-978-XVR system, anyone here installed it yourself?

Seems like it should not be too much of a challenge after building an airplane.

Success through patience
 

You can do it. I found that even quite complicated things can be done with patience. Take your time and enjoy the moment even if you cut the wires too short! Laugh at your mistake and correct it and move forward. :)

Dave,
Piece of cake. I also believe that the Freflight interfaces with the GRT display.

You could if they would sell it to you. I tried to get into their dealer network as experimental only. Filled out the application a few months ago. Haven't heard back.

They only deal with Part 145 shops, according to their sales rep.

EDIT: How to buy...

Aircraft Spruce has them.

I installed it in my -10 with GRT Sport Display. It is straight forward. Only fiddly bit is playing with the settings on the GRT for the inputs and outputs.

Thanks for that update! I wonder why they would not tell me this...

I am a Freeflight dealer and have sold quite a few to the VAF folks, let me know if I can help.

And if you get stuck on the install, Walt will probably help you..:)

I did ... and, it works
 

David,

I purchased the Rangr FDL-978-XVR from Walt and did the install myself this summer. FAA eval showed the system to work perfectly when I got it done. I have the WiFi module and it feeds the iPad - really cool! The manual is okay, but the support from Walt and from FreeFlight is great! email or pm me if you would like to talk about it. I am tied up this weekend, but can talk next week.

Best,

Merrill
