I really wish I could use the Tail Beacon in my 8, but I want to be able to fly down to Mexico, and it doesn't seem like these will meet those requirements. :-/
Just heard from a friend that the SkyBeacon and TailBeacon are going to be updated to 1090ES sometime in the future!! Apparently there will be updates available for existing units as well.

I'm planning to install the uAvonix tail beacon in my Vans 9A. I currently have a Whelen strobe/white marker. I looked at the mounting diagrams. The bolt circle for the proposed uAvonix device is 0.030" larger in diameter. Did the uAvonix device fit without any modifications to the existing Whelen tail beacon housing?
Did you have to change weight and balance? Did you get any rudder "flutter" with the uAvionix device?
