I had one in an Aventura HP I built. Not much to say: it worked fine.

Default Transponder

Dick, I have no experience with the MicroAir Transponder however I recently wired up a Trig Mode S Transponder for somebody and was impressed with the unit. http://www.trig-avionics.com/

Default No issues to report

I've used one for 6 years in my RV-6, along with two of their coms, no problems to report, aside from my occasionally forgetting to turn it to ALT

I have a Microair T2000SFL transponder in my RV-6. Works fine, does what it says on the box.

I'd recommend you look at the Trig TT22, Mode S (ADS-B compliant) with built in altitude encoder.

I too have a Micro air transponder. No complaints. The only glitch is that I had to send it back to Australia one time for service. It takes a little longer to get it back than I would have liked, but it was great service.

As above - had one in the RV6 for 7 years now - no problems. Excellent customer service too.

Default MicroAir

I have both the transponder and the VHF radio in my ELSA Quasar. They work great, don't take up much panel space, and are super light. Put that together with what I think is very inexpensive, and they are both winners.
I now wish I had went EAB on the -12, It would have MicroAir.

Default microair for sale

I have a MicroAir transponder that I am willing to sell. It was removed from my RV-8 during a panel upgrade a few years ago. If you are interested in it, you can PM me. I can fly it over in October while I'm make runs over to San Marcos for my $1/gal gas.
