Having followed the discussions about bird attacks, and having had the mavic mobbed by birds several times already, I bought some goggly eyes today like these as a bird repellent:

I plan to stick a few of various sizes on multiple surfaces so that pretty much whatever angle a bird comes from the drone appears to have eyes.
Unfortunately though they're not self adhesive, so I need to decide how to stick them on to the drone in a durable, secure but reversible and non destructive way.
I'm thinking strong double sided tape is best, I also considered hot-glue but I'm not convinced that will be strong and durable enough, but it is easy to remove later - the heat during application should be OK I would think but isn't ideal and without trying I can't be sure it wouldn't damage the mavic body.
I want something neat, completely hidden behind the eyes and that doesn't add much bulk as in places the few MM thickness of the eyes themselves will only just fit when the drone is folded in the places I intend to put them.
I thought I'd throw it out there first and see what experience other people have sticking stuff to their drones and see if anyone's got a better idea for an adhesive.
