Hi Gang
I own 3 MRXs and have them mounted on the glare shields of the
SparrowHawk, the Stemme and the Jabiru J250 above the instrument
panel. They all work fine. This is the best place for them especially
for carbon fiber ships as they then have good RF visibility to pick up
signals. Secondly the cross sectional area of the front of the MRX is
so small as not to significantly affect visibility looking forward and
their red LED display and audio transducer are right in front of your
nose for good visibility and audibility. Although the MRX will get hot
on the glare shield this does not appear to be a problem. Next the
small antenna that connects to the side of the MRX works just fine.
Don't mess around with remote antennas - not necessary. Use the velcro
buttons that come with the MRX to attach the MRX to the glare shield.
Finally although the MRX can use a couple of internal AAA batteries it
is better to connect to the glider 12 volt battery. On all 3 of my
flying machines I have added 12 volt auto sockets and use the power
cables that come with the MRX.
So what are you waiting for? Go buy one and enhance your flying
safety. Probably the best bang per buck for safety around. For the
best price Google "Zaon MRX" and you will find the best price is $449
with free shipping and no tax. Again what are you waiting for?

PS Although the MRX will enhance safety I want to make it clear that
it should come after the installation of a transponder. The single
most important safety item is a transponder. Unfortunately it is also
much more expensive than the MRX.
