I talked to the guy that developed the Microair 760 at OSH 2 years ago and was impressed. He said at that time that he was working on a transponder, but the hard part was getting the required power out of something that small. I am looking for a transponder for my coupe now and would be interested in the microair. If anyone has any more info on it, I would like to hear about it.
