TRANSFORM
YOUR TABLET INTO THE ULTIMATE EFB!
A few years back, Steve Sokol decided to
capitalize on the movement that was taking place under the name of STRATUX, a
project headed by Chris Young to use a Raspberry Pi and some SDR(software
defined Radios) to create a receiver that could receive ADS-B signals from
either aircraft or FAA Ground stations and then make that available via WIFI to
the EFB software of your choice.
Steve formed OpenFlight solutions, created
a user assembled kit that included all the hardware and software to get up and
running with an ADS-B IN solution that was portable and could be used in any
plane.
I purchased this kit
and used it in my VANS RV-7 and for display I was running it on FlyQ EFB and it has worked great until I upgraded to a
permanent ADS-B IN/OUT solution so I no longer need this.
OpenFlight solutions currently
markets the latest version of this kit as the FlightBox
Plus that includes: Weather + Traffic + GPS + AHRS + Altitude and it is
currently selling as a NON-KIT, fully assembled for $239 with free shipping.
The unit I’m selling is the equivalent of this and is running the
latest software V1.4r5. It includes the unit, large high gain dmurrary14 antennas(dual band 978 & 1090), and external GPS antenna
with 5’ cord.
I will also include a high quality(USB-microUSB) power cable. It does not include an external
battery as I had it plugged into a USB adapter in my plane. So all you will
need to go fly is either an external battery or plug it into a USB outlet in
your plane.
NOTE: Please make sure that
the power solution you use is of good quality. This is the biggest issue that has been
seen with these, not using a good power source and/or a good power cable.
Also, note that when
initially powered up that it takes about 35 seconds for the POWER light to come
on and for it to start the boot process. Also, the Fan is now temperature
control and will not come on unless it is needed.
Works with: WingX Pro, Droid EFB, FlyQ EFB, Aerovie, iFly GPS, FltPlan Go, Avare, Naviator, AvNave, AvPlan EFB, OzRunways, True Flight, iFlightPlanner,
ForeFlight**, and most other EFB applications.

I have personally
loaded FOREFLIGHT on my iPad and connected to this
FLIGHTBOX and it works fine, displays traffic and the AHRS works for synthetic
vision. I will include a FF
Screenshot in the included pictures.
There are many, many FOREFLIGHT using STRATUX, which is what this is
based on as their ADS-B IN solution.
This will be the least
expensive fully assembled solution that will get you up and running with ADS-B
IN! Start seeing all that traffic
that you have been missing, get up to date weather products right as your
flying.
***INCLUDES FREE USPS SHIPPING**** I will get it shipped either
same day as payment or next day and you will have it soon!
