leds

I have the flite test 80 amp Esc and it has that little connecter that I heard was used for LED lights and I just wanted to know how that works and what lights would work on it. I’m planning on putting it on a 7.5 foot Rc plane I built and wanted to make sure the lights could have extensions to...

First time adding LED lights to a plane and night flying. Being a newbie I thought adding lights to the top of the wing would be enough. DON'T DO THIS. You need to put lights on top AND bottom of the wing. I would suggest one color for top and another for the bottom. While I had the tail...

Yesterday I received some LEDs for my VersaCopter, i soldered all the connections and hot glued the LEDs in place but when i turned on my drone none of the LEDs lit up, until i enabled the LEDs, but then i can not use my 5th and 6th channels for some reason, if i disable the LEDs in clean flight...

Hey guys just thought I would post some pictures of my latest build. I got the plans from RCGROUPS and modified them to work with DTFB (which didn't take much.) Unfortunately I don't have any picture of the build process, I really need to get better at that. I can however try to answer any...

LEDs are frenched in so they don't rip off during landings and to keep drag to a minimum (plus it looks WAY better than just slapping them on :cool:). Video isn't the best because the camera woman didn't realize that zooming in blurs it badly. Used my Droid X2 camera for it.
