As I was doing more research on the Stratus ESG, even though the Experimental version is a few hundred less, was hoping to install myself as an option to save about another $1,000, but seen where that voids your warranty. They want you to go to one of their approved dealers. I guess this is common with all?

Although I didn?t build mine, many people behind their experimental planes have built virtually every aspect of their plane, or most of it, from airframe, engine installation, put in their own instruments panels, possibly did their own paint, controls, etc, and Van?s Aircraft often comes out with exceptional builds in all phases of construction. I don?t see engine manufacturers voiding the warranty if you install it yourself, do they?

But yet the ADS-B manufacturers or least the few I have seen thus far have evidently made a cozy deal with their installers, leaving out the DIY folk, or at least ESG voiding their warranty if they install it themselves, so basically discouraging any, and I truly doubt it?s because they think they are not capable of installing it.

Are there any manufacturers that still work with the DIY crowd?

I installed a "certified" Stratus ESG in my RV-6 and recieved the $500 FAA rebate. I paid $2150 for the Stratus which put my out-of-pocket cost in the same neighborhood as the 978mhz solutions.....and got a new transponder and WAAS GPS out of the deal.

Sam, the places I've been looking at for the certified ESG want it shipped to the Appareo dealers that will be doing the installation. Did you get the warranty by doing it yourself? I want to get this done, if possible with the $500.00 rebate on the certified, but not if the installation is going to be $1,000.00.

Aircraft Spruce $2,695
However:
"Appareo just called me and there is an issue at the moment with our stock on the ESG. Since the FAA rebate had previously expired they removed their TSO stamping from experimental models to prevent certified aircraft from installing them. Though the units are TSO’d, the FAA requires the TSO stamp to be present to count for this rebate. They are taking back all of our units and exchanging for stamped units, so anything shipping from us will be stamped and eligible for the rebate, however, it may be several weeks before we are able to ship these depending upon how quickly Appareo ships the replacement units. I apologize for any inconvenience."

Where did you get yours, Sam?
