You can put one, two, or three strobes around most tubes on a paramotor frame. Tested with an Airconception Nitro 200 Delta frame. While you can use the connectors that came with the strobe kit, I opted to replace them with the red JST connectors since they are smaller and I didn't need all the connectors that were included. The strobe LEDs came with poor quality solder connections. I re-tinned all the solder joints. ## Box Attachment The controller box doesn't have attachment points. You can glue these ziptie adapters to the box to allow for easier mounting. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3525269 ## Power Switch https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3471327
