Short answer is "yes".
We've done it several times within the last 12 months.
The airspace waiver application is straight forward and we've been approved in a day.
Cheers!

"One of the guys on the trip had a regular in-dash transponder and COM mounted in a plywood box powered by a gel cell battery which he recharged with a home-made wind generator (from a blow dryer) that he hung out the window in flight. It was completely removable."

That s the coolest mgyvering I've seen in a while. Imagine getting ramped whith that:
"Let's see the stc for the .... Thing on your plane..."

Until the window is opened it's an interior fan.
