Hi, I was searching today, and could not find anything conclusive on the subject.
I am building a Minimax Eros, which will have no ENGINE DRIVEN power system. It may have a small battery to power a radio and some lights.
Do I need a transponder to fly class C airspace? I seem to find mixed answers.
For sure you can't use class B, and may have issues in the class C vail, but that isn't a concern, but class C is all around me, and I can't afford the weight of the alternator, transponder, etc, etc..... on the airplane.
I know Pops is all about not having any alternator, but really need to find some hard evidence on the situation.
