I'm going to pull the Grumman Tiger redtail mod off of my airplane.
It was installed by STC. Some idiot painted over the back of the original red lens (it was also cracked). The STC re-positioned the original flashing beacon inside the narrow red lexan lens and it draws 11 amps.
The space inside the lens is too narrow for an LED retrofit, and I couldn't keep the replacement red lens from cracking, so I finally said the heck with it. I don't mind the performance hit, I just want a brighter beacon and to reduce the electrical loads (to accommodate a UAT ADS-B solution).
Any body know of paperwork requirement for removing an STC, aside from a log book entry. I plan on re-balancing the rudder IAW the AMM.
