Hi guys,
after having flown our RV9a for a year, we have now decided to disassemble and do the paint job. It takes longer than expected, given that we have done some cosmetic repairs on the Canopy & the Cowling... But it will turn out great as it looks like (I hope so...)
In the meantime, I was wondering if someone can help me out on an option to TRACK THE PLANE DURING FLIGHT ONLINE.
I have a TRIG TT21 Transponder that is ADSB capable. I have connected my Garmin GPS 496 to it but for some reason it doesn?t really work. Does someone know if the 496 supports ADSB out or is it too old? Anything else I could have done wrong?
If the set up does not support it, what other (cheap) options do I have to keep my family on the ground happy to track me flying? SPOT is quite expensive, but it?s pretty much exactly what I am looking for in terms of function.
Highly appreciate your thoughts!
Happy weekend!
