Steel wing carrier padded and attached to wing. Note forward straps (red) that hold the vertical position. Excess strapping tied off on prop - not used for support!
Found this on a post flight inspection after sending off the Trike Globetrotters. Apparently the 1/8" aluminum had enough vibration where mounted that it fatigued the metal and it cracked straight through. Always to a post flight, You never know what you might find.
I got my Aveo Power Burst Strobes for about $400 at Aircraft Spruce
I'm very happy with them.

It was a tad bit chilly and just a little too windy here in Illinois, but I did manage to log the first hour of flying this year. Can't think of a better way to bring in the New Year!
