    Long exposure photos of LED-lit planes

    Some folks at FF '18 had a small squadron of planes with led strips glowing nicely. Most of the exposures took around 3 minutes, and resulted in some nice wallpaper. Link

    I am going to build a Krackin with the water resistant foam board they now sell. My question to anyone out there is if i mount my LED light strips in side the plane will it light up enough to fly it at night, like my Storch made out of the white foam board? for some strange reason there has...

    Long range night flight

    This was a flight done around 10:00 pm. I have lights in the plane for take off and landing. Once it gets to altitude I turn them off. You can see the plane 3 miles away when they are on. I use a 1000tvl cam and a 4mm night lens. This flight was done with a full moon. I was very impressed with...

    FPV Night Vision Camera?

    I'm looking to buy a light weight but high quality night vision camera to fly with an FPV setup on a tricopter as a gift. I've been googling and going through the forums but I think I'm just confusing myself. Any suggestions would be very very appreciated. Thanks!

    I had so many flashcopters I took a few apart and hot glued the LEDs to my FT Flyer. It was WAY brighter than I expected.

    First Night Flying - Used an Anycopter

    So, I have clocked in less than an hour of flight time on my tricopter, and I decided to do some night flying.....(such a newb). I added some LED's to it and I had an absolute blast. Assembling the LED's was difficult. The strips I got left very little space for soldering and the wires kept...

    Night flying photos

    Hi Guys / Gals, My buddy and I have added some HK LED's to our PZ Trojan T-28's. We chose this plane as our night flyers, because it is a docile plane to fly, can carry a 3S 2200Mah battery with ease, and it has the tricycle landing gear which is probably going to be a a great deal easier to...
