Hello everyone,
My name is Jimmy Elza. I am new to this forum. I just placed a deposit on a new Carbon Cub a few weeks ago. I went for a ride with David Morris. I was hooked. What an awesome airplane! I also fly a Piper Mirage. I am an aviation nut probably like most of you guys. I just wanted to introduce myself. I do not have any tailwheel time as of now. I can't wait to learn how to fly a tailwheel airplane with the capabilities of the Carbon Cub. I should be getting my airplane mid November. I am planning on going to the factory and bringing the Cub home. I am going to try and do about ten hours of tailwheel training before I head out to the great northwest. I would like to take this opportunity to thank David, Chip Allen, and Nathan Hammond. All of these guys have been very helpful in whole process.
My airplane is coming with the G3X panel and autopilot. I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the ADS-B stuff until I started researching this package. I am not one bit concerned about the 2020 mandate. I am concerned about traffic. Does the GTX 23ES with the latest software provide ADS-B out for traffic purposes without an approved navigational device such as the GTN 650? I am not talking about TIS-A services provided in congested terminal areas. I am talking about TIS-B services that will provide traffic to any ADS-B in receiver anytime it is within line of sight of a ground based ADS-B station. Confused yet? I am. Maybe I am way off base. Hopefully someone with more knowledge of this can chime in.
Thanks and I look forward to meeting more members of this community,
Jimmy Elza
