Yeah, I heard it had a transponder too, and an altitude encoder, also
mandated by the FAA ;-)!!

You're just bein' silly. They were in Class G airspace, no transponder or
encoder required.

And you're just bein' Stevie. A transponder would not have been
required on the replica REGARDLESS of the type of airspace they
were in (see FAR 91.215).
