I needed to solve the Beacon Replacement issue under the Red Rudder cap. I got my solution Via John Sjaardema at Excel Air Services. We used a a Aero LEDS Sun/Tail combo Position/Anti Collision Light 11-1260-12 available from Aircraft Spruce. Removed the Aero Flash Flasher Unit and Dummy Resistor, and legacy Strobe Bulb and Bracket. Rewired the the connector to the Rudder Cap to contain 12VDC and ground. John fabricated a new bracket out of 2024 and installed it in the same position as to old strobe bulb. See pictures for details. This is significant improvement over the the old Bulb and fits better, costs less and weighs less than the using the SUNBEACON II. Rudder balance was un-effected. -Dave Collier

Thanks Bill,

Yes, I found eventually Aero Fabricators part of WAG-AERO. They did a great job with my front belts. They look like new. A note, your old belts need to have a legible tag on them though. I had to get a used belt from another Tiger owner that had upgraded to the Inertial reels in order to get a legible tag. I hope this post helps other in the community.
