Nothing wrong with flying without ADS-B. It's only a tool you can choose to use or not in most of the airspace out there. I have flown coast to coast completely electronics free, and have flown coast to coast with all the latest goodies. No question it's easier flying with all the goodies, but there is something pure about flying cross country with out all the electronic stuff. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM Jeff, I am perfectly comfortable without any electronics, although I do have a Communications radio installed as well as a mode C transponder to meet the requirements of the 30 NM veil that I live inside of, and have also flown my KR2S coast to coast. However, with 2020 approaching, I am keeping my eyes out for solution to the mandatory requirements that will allow all the other aircraft out there that want to see me depicted on their displays, without having to install expensive displays I have no desire for in my airplane. I have seen some articles and postings of equipment people have built for under a few hundred dollars themselves to meet ADS-B requirements, but they have appeared to be adding capabilities to already installed equipment and displays costing thousands of dollars. Have you stumbled across anything yet for your "completely electronics free" airplane?
