My main purpose for the strobe is to increase visibility of M2P drone orientation at a distance for certain jobs...not for night flying. I need rear placement and want it there semi-permanently. I can't use Aerial-Pixel (AP) on legs. I have 10, 6g, HeiyRC for 5 drones. Most don't fit AP or are too bulky. But I do have a call into Ryan at AP...but he's at a conference right now. Will call back.
If I place strobes on rear legs, I have to remove strobe from velcro each time so M2P folds properly or there's a big gap when trying to fold. This can cause stress on leg rotational joint over time. See Pic.
But even if I remove strobe each time, the remaining velcro half on leg means I have to slightly lift the rear arm for it to fold properly and get the leg over the remaining 3M Dual Velcro, 1/8", see pic. This also places a slight stress on leg rotation joint, which over time could be a problem. 3M Dual Velcro is very stiff and doesn't give very much.
Also, each time I would remove the strobe, I also have to grip the strobe itself or pry from one end, causing a bending of strobe circuit board. I have had to do this. The 3M Dual Velcro is a tiger! I have lost strobes with Mickey Mouse velcro, which is why I use 3M Dual. Good news...Bad News.
So, I want to place one HeiyRC between the rear two sensors and keep it there until needing to replace. I will carve out the foam of my molded case to accommodate the thickness of the strobe + 3M Dual Velcro thickness.,
But, I am concerned about compromising the two rear sensors. Due to health issues, I can't test the effect on the two rear sensors or I wouldn't bother the forum. FYI...I couldn't find this anywhere on forum before posting.
