If you can work the newsgroups, you can install a transponder. Tell
the dealer its for an experimental and have the wiring harnass
pre-made to your encoder.

Now that you own an Ercoupe, look in the Owners Manual and youll see
that rRule #612 specifically prohibits an owner from spending any
money on the aircraft, its systems or maintenance. Get with the
program, Greg!
