BONANZA /BARON MOUNTING PLATE TO PERMIT INSTALLATION OF THE UAVONIX TAILBEACON

Description

BONANZA /BARON MOD TO FACILITATE INSTALLATION OF THE UAVONIX TAILBEACON
Bonanza models 33, 36, A36, B36, Baron models 55, 58 and many V tails
As some of you may already know the Uavionix Tailbeacon can't be installed on Bonanza models 33, 36, A36, B36, Baron models 55, 58, many V tails and all other models that have a clear tail position light/strobe light cover that is closed on the end. This is due to the fact that the clear tail position light/strobe light cover that attaches to the end of the tailcone is closed on the end. That and the fact that even after taking the tail lens off the tailcone the Tailbeacon mounting plate can not be installed because the hole in the existing factory riveted on aluminum plate that's secured by 4 rivets is much too large.
I have designed a new tailcone mounting plate that will accommodate the Uavionix Tailbeacon. You simply have to drill out the existing 4 rivets on the factory installed
mounting plate and rivet my new mounting plate in place of the one that was removed. Then you can simply install the Tailbeacon per Uavionix instructions that are included with the Tailbeacon.
I've been in contact with Kurt in the tech. dept. of Uavionix, I sent him before and after photo's of my own A36, along with a 100% passing PAPR report from the FAA. He sent it to his social media team and provided my contact info. so they could provide it to anyone calling and asking how to install the Tailbeacon on the above mentioned Bonanza models. Tom Turner the Executive Director of the ABS Safety Foundation of the American Bonanza Society after seeing and reading about my mounting plate mod. had a half page article placed
under General Aviation News in the February issue of
ABS Magazine
, at the top of page 47.
The price of my new mounting plate (Patent Pending) is

The photo's shown illustrate what the finished assembly looks like and are for illustration purposes only. It
DOES NOT
include the Tailbeacon or the clear tail position light lens, it is for my new mounting plate only!
You must provide your own Tailbeacon available from Uavionix at a current selling price of 99.00 plus .00 shipping, or I can sell you a brand new one with a 0.00 discount for ,899.00.
Alternatively, if you fly to
Taunton
,
MA
(KTAN). I'll install it, program it, have an IA based at KTAN provide a 337 form, obtain a PAPR report from the FAA and make the appropriate log book entry for ,200.00 which includes my new
mounting plate.
As many of you may be aware the cost to retrofit your non ADS-B compliant transponder at an avionic shop starts at approx. ,000.00 and up depending on what you
select for compliance.
Please provide me with a photo of your existing tail position light taken directly from the rear and a side view for me to make a fitment determination for models
not listed above.
