You definitely can't miss that. You might have to call into air traffic control at the heights you fly lol.
I'm not brave enough yet to even attempt night flying but i would really like to, setting more goals in the hobby
Is it harder to fly at night? Do you fly just as high as during the day?
That was awesome! Pyros on planes, especially the roman candles firing forward EPIC
It does look like a police cruiser. Should get a lot of attention. I guess flying high altitude at night you wouldn't see much from the camera or even much of the plane. Over a city or town would be some good footage thoughIve not taken it high in the dark, i have only flown night time on the basic cub and was making sure i kept track of where i was by following the lit roads.
i wouldn't recommend it on a plane without GPS unless like me you have learned the look of the roads lit by lamp posts over time as light fades on many flights, everything looks different in the dark!
I used a home made ground beacon to mark home position in the dark field, it was made of 6x 3w blue LEDs flashing but ive just built a new one made of 12x 10w blue LEDs in two banks of 6 which flash in a wig wag pattern but i may change the code in the arduino to make them all flash together as it will be twice as bright.
Its controlled with an Arduino nano (they are great little things which drives two Logic level Mosfet transistors to drive the LEDs which are 12v 10w chips and do not require voltage or current limiting when powered from a 3s pack or plugged into my car.
The video does not do the LEDs justice, they are very VERY bright and leave your eyes seeing dots for many minutes afterwards if you look at it even indirectly lol
Its easily as bright as the led police lights, possibly brighter

I appreciate you asking! It's just been a WEEK! That's all. Money problems, Health issues.... NO progress! 😖😞😭
I was starting to wonder why I wasn't getting any notifications on your awesome scout build.I appreciate you asking! It's just been a WEEK! That's all. Money problems, Health issues.... NO progress! 😖😞😭
Doing my best to fix that over the next week. Progress anyway.... Can't even afford PAINT. 😢 But like everything else, battling my way through. 👍
As long as your plane is well lit, and you bring along lots of bug spray It's almost easier to fly at night because there is essentially no wind for like a hour after sunset.You definitely can't miss that. You might have to call into air traffic control at the heights you fly lol.

Thanks, I can hopefully get back to it soon. 😊I was starting to wonder why I wasn't getting any notifications on your awesome scout build.

You damn right Brother!!! 👍👍Airmen always find a way 🤠👊👍
That's the spiritYou damn right Brother!!! 👍👍
Hold my 🍻🍺🍻
That looks sweet man. I like where this is going. Your twin boom noses look familiar... where have I seen that before?bronco....ish ! taking shape...
Are the booms the same length as the bronco plans?looked familiar to me as well ...cant think where i saw it though !!! rotfl....
ps ...here perhaps!! lol.... View attachment 141808
It looks like it is a shorter moment then the original design from the picture, might be just the angle I am seeing it from. I know that to get mine to balance with the original plans I had to extend my fuse by 2.5" using a 2200 3s. Are you using the same battery or something larger?not sure ...not working from the plans !! just measured ...60cm ..
