• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I was poking around on the Muscle Biplane site the other day and found pictures of an S1 with an interesting transponder installation. The face of a KT-76 was mounted in the center of the panel. The rest of the radio was mounted on the side of the tank close to the firewall.

Does anyone recognize this plane or know anything about installing a KT-76 this way? I've looked around for accessories to do this, but haven't had much luck. I can modify the transponder myself, but would really rather find out that it is a kit or accessory for the radio.

I don't have room in the rebuild budget to get a different transponder. With the changes I'm making to the cockpit and panel, I need to do something like this or mount it on the side in front of the seat.

Thanks,
Ian
