Thank you for the reply's. There is no "Quibble" with safety, the reluctance to fit one is purely practical. The aircraft is a Cri Cri. This thing is tiny, the panel is no bigger then a shoe box.

Posting this question to help a friend. He has been told that from February this year any new VH registered aircraft must be fitted with a transponder, even if the aircraft is not going to be flown into controlled airspace. The only thing I could find was the requirement of an adsb transponder, if fitting one after February. Any one know?? Thanks Phil

That is high fuel useage for a 2.2 Jab.
