Show HN: We built the smallest dual-band aircraft tracker

We've been building open source embedded ADS-B receivers for a while, and spent the past 8 months smallifying our existing receiver tech with a new chip from Semtech. Ask me anything about ADSB or hardware manufacturing!

Any plans to launch a competitor to the ForeFlight Sentry? The current Sentry is severely overpriced.

A normal non ADS-B iPad GPS flight module is almost 10% the price of the Sentry

We have a competitor for the high end of the electronic flight bag market, we call it ADSBee Winglet: https://pantsforbirds.com/product/adsbee-winglet/

We're focusing on embedded applications with ADSBee m1421 applications right now but it's definitely tempting to roll m1421 into a smaller flight bag device. It's something we might get back around to once we have Winglet off the ground.
