Ok, so this has nothing to do with lights, it just seemed catchy . . .
I love the swappable power pod concept, but noticed that from build-to-build, some of the contents of the pods are tweaked for the plane (kinda defeating the "swappability" concept). As you grow your selection of swappables, this is only going to get worse.
My suggestion - three pod sets:
Green - a 75W-ish, low speed for the docile flyer
Yellow - a 150W-ish, medium speed for a little more pep or pulling something bigger
Red - a 200W+, high speed pod for zipping around or pulling something bigger w/ authority
The color coding would all be in the suggested parts, but would simplify the "for this plane we recommend . . . " when it comes to sizing the parts in the pods.
It would also simplify the swappability among airframes (I know these X planes like green or yellow, but not red, and these y planes one love the yellow pod, but are flyable on green or red, and these Z planes hate the green but love the red).
It would also give us poor noobs more than one "known good" configurations to start tweaking up and down from in order to get what we want out of a pod for a given airframe.
I don't want to get to the point I'll only follow the "golden" spec for a plane, but would like having good starting points for the common plane and flying styles I'm seeing.
