Warning

  • Use a 5 amp automotive fuze to prevent short circuits from causing a fire
  • LiPo Batteries will swell when over-discharged, always use a battery checker and never let a lipo battery drop below ~3.5volts per cell
    Parts
  • Strobes
  • 12v regulator (large)
  • 12v regulator (small)
  • Fuse
  • LiPo Buzzer
  • JST connectors (optional)
    Print the parts in TPU or Flex material for best result.

    You can put 1, 2 or 3 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.
