These are pretty cool, depending on paperwork

Too bad they were not thinking of top rudder mount.

My beacon was intermittent. Turned out to be a simple grounding problem but took awhile to troubleshoot. When it was apart, I replaced the automotive incandescent bulb with an LED. Much brighter!

Having the strobes and beacon on the same switch is a bit of a problem for taxiing at night but I haven't found enough motivation to do anything about it.

I'm ready to replace the original rotating beacon on my 79 GCBC with a non-rotating LED replacement that flashes versus a motorized rotating one. I believe I have heard there is a replacement option that fits perfectly where the old rotating model is mounted. Does anyone have a part number/name/model? Thanks

Check part numbers like SPL-400 or equivalent LED aviation beacons.

Just finished installing the Orion 360. Works great and looks factory installed.
