I received an email from IAC about a problem with ADSB out and aerobatics. Just spent a few minutes on the IAC website looking for an update and could find nothing on the subject at all.
What gives?

Hi Ernie.
I agree, that information belongs on the IAC web site. We'll fix that oversight shortly and I'll post back here when it's done.

DJ Molny brought my attention to this thread and I have provided him a short article a few minutes ago with an update. He can announce when it is up on the IAC website.

Thanks! I am likely never going beyond Primary, but I have been considering ADS-B since I need to replace my transponder and the Trig solution looks appealing. And a loop is a loop for ADS-B I suspect.
One of our members wrote the following -- in another forum -- and I invite your comments.
Has there been any mention of the "diversity" option (antennas top and bottom) available on some ADS-B transponders and UATs? Just curious; I fly with both a WAAS (GNS-420) and non-WAAS GPS onboard, and I notice that the WAAS takes up to several minutes to lock back on to the satellites after returning to straight and level, which would no doubt obviate any advantage in the "diversity" antenna solution unless the GPS unit is so equipped as well.
