LED strobe messes with bottom sensor on MP2...thoughts?

[Arizdrona]

I placed a small Quarter sized 4 LED Strobe on the bottom of my MP2 and I get sensor warnings... Not much bottom real estate... Any thoughts ? I guess if your not flying close to objects, your good to go... if you will fly in tighter areas, probably best to simply remove it.. I had no problem in the open spaces I was flying today.

Here’s my mpp locations. Velcro marks the spot. The mp2 is about the same.

So on the side of the arm? I thought about that since as I said, not much real estate, I was hoping for a downward firing strobe though... lol I guess one rear and one side is what you ended up with correct?

One on front arm as far outboard as possible.
One on rear arm as far outboard as possible.
That’s on my mp2.
From 3500 feet at 400 agl, they are very visible. Red front, green rear.
As it is heading away, all you see is the green. Coming home, red.
I’m only using the single led.

That sound like a solid layout and something to do... I like the idea of that. I need another LED and off I go. Glad the sensors are trouble free..
Thanks.

@msinger is a well known, much respected individual. I use two white strobes one on each front leg and a red & green strobe on appropriate rear legs. I use his mounting hardware. (3D printed)

Remember in the User Manusl it talked about all the sensors on the bottom of the AC? Good possibility your strobe is interfering with their function.

Same as flying into the late afternoon sun, obstacle avoidance could possibly cause AC to stop.during RTH.

I just bought the Firehouse Mavic PP package for $86 and I must say they are powerful. I can easily keep track of my aircraft now how long the circuit boards will last is another story. I am being as gentle as possible when attaching and disconnecting usb cable for charging. Not a good feeling but the light is awesome.

Loved his leg mounts so I ordered all four along with a red and green strobe to go with the two whites I already have. Gonna try the same setup as Turn11's, thanks dude.
