RE: Lights...
Since it is not a scale bird to begin with, go to Wal Wart or Auto Holdup and look for "tireflys" They are a self-contained flashing LED available in several colors that screws onto a tire valve stem. Red, green and clear are used for strobes. White on vertical stab, red on left wing and green on right wing. Just drill a friction fit hole in the tips, so you can change th batteries.Landing lights are easily made with a cheap single cell AA flashlight. Throw away everything except the reflector, bulb, and bulb base that screws to reflector. Solder wires to the base contacts long enough to reach out the center of the wing and into the fuse. Get a micro switch and mount it to an old servo, and use a couple AA nicads from an old pack. Your glow starter charger works to charge this pack with. Mount the light in L/E of wing and cover with plastic from a soft drink bottle.
Presto! Landing and strobe lights for about $10 total.
