I've been a long time RCU member, but couldn't recover my old account. I haven't been active on the airplane side of things for a very long time (spent the last 20 years absorbed by helicopters). I got an Ultra Flash EVO last year, which rejuvenated my interest in r/c. It's typically the only thing I bring to the flying site now, and I can not get enough of it. I followed the original CARF UF build thread as I awaited the arrival of mine, which prepared me for assembly and made things way quicker. I recently installed a lighting kit from unilight. Although it's not a scale model, the lights add another item of realism... and I like gadgets. The UF is is already so light (22lbs RTF sans fuel), I figured I could stand to add the lights for what it will gain in weight. My only regret with this model is not putting a larger turbine in it, I used the 140 out of my old Skymaster F16, and although it's fast enough to have fun... I wish it were a bit faster.

I've tried to attach photos of the lighting kit install, but RCU won't let me until I've got 10 posts under my belt.
