Schumacher has a very wide range of chargers but
I think by now, all offerings will include automatic
top-off and maintenance modes. What size charger are
you interested in? The 1562 is about a 1.6A machine and
looks like this and costs about $20.
Emacs!

Interesting discussion... just remember to turn OFF your transponder wit
hin 30 miles of Oshkosh if arriving during the annual convention..where
one of the highest concentration of aircraft exists in the USA. See and
avoid!
do not archive

That's fair, but on a regular basis, whether IFR or VFR, we see someone
on the TCAS box before ATC alerts us. Sometimes, they're too busy to giv
e us the advisory.
Having a transponder does not always just provide me access to airspace
that requires it. It also allows people to see and avoid me with somethi
ng other than their eyes. Also, keep in mind that the�majority
5533;of mid-air collisions don't happen along "major airways," but rathe
r in the vicinity of an airport, where many types of aircraft convene.It
's a tool, sometimes operationally required. I'm just pointing out that
like landing/taxi/strobe lights, it is sometimes about helping other peo
ple see YOU, even though they aren't required. I'll be putting a mode C
transponder in my RV-7, but I fully respect your decision not to. Just m
aking sure people think of the other side of the transmit/recieve transa
ction.-az

Good Afternoon Andrew, � That would be true if the fast mover

It is coming, but I feel that most Zenith 610 builders who intend to pi

the builder wishes to install one, more power to him, but I do not thi

how most Light Sport Aircraft are flown, but low and slow and away from
