I made this with the old pigtail unit as this a two piece unit. Most you cant take apart. I drilled it out to take the center sheath/antenna. The shield is then sandwiched between the two part with a crimped ring connector

My Eurostar fitment. Both under the belly and work well. The antenna coax is continuous with the center core protruding out to the correct length. I bought two cheap antennas from eBay for the antenna covers only.

I have left the set-up on top of one of my steel containers all day for perfect line of sight. I put it on at 10.00 this morning and now it still working very happily recieving adsb and p3i with the MNEA app. With the second unit in my AC I flew off and we discovered that from on the ground to the AC in the air it's not very far, about a mile range on p3i trying to keep line of sight with the antenna.

I think it fair to say Dave and I have had solid results today. The MNEA app works great and never unintentionally dropped out today on my internal GPS and Dave's external GPS. I had to make an Hours trip tonight and an hour back. I had SD and PA running all the time and both time I pass Dave house it pick it up as traffic. I feeling confident enough to leave it running all day outside tomorrow and hopefully Sunday as no rain is forecast if you want to flyby Fenland.
The iPad does need a little more respect. As PilotAware has command of the GPS at some point in the chain its not so tolerant of you switching screens in nav mode if you want to check stuff for long and will loose GPS. Saying that it does reconnect very quick.
Dare I say I'm feeling very happy with it,and tomorrows our flying test day

Evening,
I have on order a juicebitz 20awg short cable, a juicebitz 3amp wall charger for home trial (I'll leave it on for a month if anyone wants to buzz Fenland as I live next door) and also one of Jeremy's USB supplies. If voltage is the issue how can any aircraft maintain this who isn't running one of Jeremy's units. I'm sure Falco Dave has concerns when his retracts drags the voltage down. The ideal would be 12 volt in and regulated on-board the Aware. I'm just thinking the mass market won't be so tolerant as we are with this fussiness.

Hi.
I had the a 2nd generation big iPad with and external xgps unit blue toothed in the tower. After several lost GPS connections I gave up with that one. I did manage to see daves Falco a treat on skydemon recieving ADSB early on and all the way into the circuit and land with great accuracy on the screen.
I then went flying with the internally GPS equipped iPad mini and the Skydemon locked up (froze). never have I seen that one before.
Thanks John

A bit of analysing, could the ipad internal GPS be going to sleep if no movment being detected? I hope so cause thats not an issue then in an aircraft. WiFi is not a cause because the big iPad never lost connection with CollisionAware when all 3 were on at once with the same shared pie WiFi link.
So does anone know if the iPad internal GPS goes into a sleep mode?

Hi
I have 3 iPads running now.
1. Mini 1st gen inc cellular inc GPS
2. Standard retina display no cellular no GPS
3. Mini retina display inc cellular inc GPS
None have Skydemon opened but all connected to a single pie, all connected through CollisionAware, all synced with 192.168.1.1 the big ipad with no GPS connection has not dropped out within an hour of my test. Both the mini's with internal GPS have dropped put at least twice within my hours test. Is CollisionAware only able to link one pie to one iPad at one time? as I have tried and can only get one iPad to connect at once.
Thanks John

I'm there by 9.00 and will have it up and running in the tower shortly after. perhaps if you include pilot aware in your tx call we can look for the target range and take notes. It's fair to say we are all excited in anticipation at Fenland especialy if a ground monitoring station is developed. we often have flight-radar on in the tower now the adsb is in action.
