Our bonanza has a CG that is further aft than is desirable, so we're trying to eliminate as much weight in the aft part of the airplane as possible. Two items that are back there are the power supplies for the strobes. There is one for the tail, and one for the wingtips. We have an LED beacon that is mounted on the top of the fuselage. Just wondering if it would be legal to remove the tail and wing strobes along with their power supplies, and install a 2nd LED beacon on the belly, using the hole that the ADF antenna is mounted to now. I believe that would give 360* coverage to comply with the certification of the aircraft. I know we could replace the wingtip strobes with a LED Nav and Strobe combo, but those are pretty expensive and we are a CSOB. Just curious if this would be legal.
