Default pure gliders with ads b?

I've installed a TT22, TN70 and the Peregrine switch in my Stemme, done
the 337 and the test flight, and just a couple of weeks ago gotten the
rebate check from the FAA.Â* Though she's a self launcher, I operate the
Stemme as a pure glider except when repositioning for a safari or other
gathering.

I have measured the current draw with a Watts Up power meter
https://www.amazon.com/RC-Electronics-Inc-Watts-Analyzer/dp/B001B6N2WK/ref=asc_df_B001B6N2WK/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309806250188&hvpos=1o1&hvne tw=g&hvrand=10101014829027116015&hvpone=&hvptwo=&h vqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030451 &hvtargid=pla-571652175348&psc=1
with everything running and it's at or below 2.6 amps.Â* Add another amp
or so when the transmitter is keyed.Â* The Stemme has a 38 Ah main
battery and a 10 Ah aux battery with solar cells to help with the load.Â*
During setup, I configured the system as ADS-B Out and In though I don't
have a permanently installed ADS-B In system.Â* My ClearNav II presents
ADS-B traffic and, when I want to, I can carry an Android device running
Avare which shows the TFRs, weather, traffic, etc.Â* I'm very happy with
the result.

Has anyone actually installed a trig tt22, tn70, ta70 with a peregrine speed switch in a standard type certificated glider in the U.S.A and done the 337 and performance flight?

Don't ask me why, I'm a gadget enthusiast and have the above equipment, and don't fly anywhere near flarm equipped gliders.

Thanks, and Happy New Year!
