It is not TSO'd. I don't intend to do anything for some time as the end solution is still in a state of flux. The manufacturer says they are working on a TSO "upgrade" kit which will consist of: 1) An FAA approved high $$$ WAAS GPS puck (should that be necessary to comply) to replace the non-

If you really believe the government is conspiring that heavily to kill GA, then it's time to get out. I installed a non-2020 compliant ADS-B transceiver in my KR about 6 months ago. The cost was roughly the same as a low end transponder. I find it to be a great addition to have it calling ou

Very good responses. Hand propping doesnt scare me and I like the simplicity of a KR1 with no electrics, just a handheld radio. I didnt even think about the alternator/generator being what constituted an electric system in an airplane. I dont mind a starter, battery, and maybe a solar panel or

I don't think the government want to kill GA at all, I think they want to be able to levy fees for any- and everything. That would depend on use of their services. They wouldn't outlaw tobacco, they just expanded their reach and grasp in order to extract money from the industry. On 1/30/2015 10
