Winds tend to die down around dusk each day making it a great time to fly RC, and lights make that even better. I picked up a pack of "EasyLights" battery powered led strobe marker lights, but I don't want to have to buy a set for each plane. I had been using velcro but in the cold the glue tends to get weak. I came up with the idea of using a 3d printed adapter with magets to allow me to swap these quickly between planes. The adapters are very small (13 grams of filament) and shouldn't affect the plane too much.
These have been designed to use 8mm x 3mm magnets (Cause thats what I had lying around)
There are two types:
- Smooth - Smooth bottom surface to glue to
- Spiked - The plane side has small spikes to assist in gluing to foam or foamboard
- Small - As minimalist as I could make them. Same part used on both sides, no spikes.
The lights go by many names on Amazon, Aliexpress, Banggood, etc for about $30. Here are a few I've seen:
