Dear All, I wonder whether anyone has an old radio and an old non mode S
transponder, that they might consider parting with at a bargain price for a
good cause. I am involved with a local consortium of schools (headed by
Marling) who are building a Rans S-6 plane provided by the Build a Plane
Project with volunteer supervisors (including me). The plane comes with
basic instruments but without a radio. The school has the flying of the
plane for 150 hrs after its completion, and in the local environment that
would be immensely safer with a radio, but school budgets being in a state
of meltdown, they are not best placed to buy a shiny new one!
So if you have just upgraded from a microair or similar to an
all singing/dancing Garmin SL30 etc, please get in touch.
Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ
