[X(] Holy Cow! That thing looks like a Christmas tree!!! you must get a lot of UFO sightings called in when you fly that! How much weight does that setup add? I guess you have no problems telling what way that sucker is going in the dark eh?

Looks like fun.
What's the weight difference with all those lights?

The setup adds 15 grams.
I have no problems in the dark, even in pitch black nights.

When landing, the LEDs light up the ground

I was just kidding, but now that I think about it, maybe some small hearing aid bats under or on the tip of the nose cone....
