The middle section looks verry littl
Do you have enough space?
I maiden the bat bone a few minutes ago. I used blue and red L.E.D. from hobby king.
You are eventually going to need some LEDs you can see from the top. When it is further away from you and you start to fly toward yourself, you're only going to see the top and at night you'll have a harder time seeing those LEDs because they are only on the bottom. I had similar LEDs on my first tricopter and had that issue and I started to fly around more. Those LEDs look good though! The red and blue contrast well. I was using yellow and red and it was okay.
bright is an understatement..lol I need to wear to fly at night
This evening I thought I would try out the new 10" and 11" propellers I got for this wooden bat bones. Well, after reading a few other posts, I thought I really should have bought 12" and thought I would be disappointed by the 10's so I went with the 11" propellers first. WHOA! There is a HUGE difference between 9x4.7 and 11x4.7 propellers! I haven't flow with anything bigger than 9" and I was expecting close to the same performance. Well, I started to throttle up a little and it raised off the ground, then I moved up to a little over half like I always do with my 9" propellers and the tricopter JUMPED UP in the air real quick! I tried to bring it back under control but it swung back real fast toward my face! I push the elevator forward, it leaned forward, and took off like a jet. I pulled back again and it back flipped on to the ground upside down! I stood there stunned for a few seconds trying to process what had just happened. That was an experience and my adrenaline was pumping! Well, fortunately it only broke 2 propellers and I had bought 4 sets of the 11". I removed all three 11" propellers and then put the 10x4.7 on and things were much tamer and I was able to get about 15 minutes of flight time with it. I did NOT know that propeller sizes would make that big of a difference! I have to be more cautious next time I change propellers!
