Started cleaning the bench today and stumbled across 2 packs of strip LED's from my last HobbyPartz.com order. Each strip has 60 lights in series of 3 so you can cut them/run extensions/assort however you like. I used just what I had around, but rest assured she's probably not finished yet...
Best part is that for $6 each, I've now doubled my flying time since I no longer am dependant on daylight! Already burned through 2 batteries this evening on the golf course, just waiting for them to quick charge so I can head back out!!!
A lot of guys normally orient lights on the surfaces facing out, but I'd rather see the plane than the lights. It's my mini-me version of Yuri Haguchi's BIG TIME night flyer.
And did I mention this thing is huge... OK, she's only about 4 ft tall, but you get the picture!
White LED's on the top, red LED's on the bottom and visibilty is RIDICULOUS!
