Default wing tail beacon

Lots of people are putting the tail beacon in the wing. On my 6A I had no rudder tail light, so I put it the wing too. Here's mine:

Those worked. Still nothing in the first post, but my browser takes a long time to load this page like it's *trying* to do something.

Default tail beacon

probably too many bytes in one frame.

The beacon programmed well sitting outside the hangar but have yet to determine what its range and effectiveness is. Company says it will work.

Did you use power from Wing tip light or run new power

Sorry for the delay in reply. I followed Uavionics instructions and wired the unit to the position light power. It really makes no difference practically as long as you have someway of getting the unit powered up after startup.
