Default RE: DF Training Wheels

We're getting way off topic but isn't it fun? The DF sure enough has some beady little eyes but the more the better to navigate with. In addition to a nose and tail light for perpendicular flight orientation, some wing lights really help to let you know real quick when you are nose in, even at 100+ yards. Believe it or not, because it scared the $%#@ out of me, I've have sent the DF at least 200 yards away and when I banked around those LEDS looked just like a full size jet off in the distance on final approach. [8D] You can see how effective they are in the video in [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=3813997]this[/link] post and a more and higher twilight flight video in [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=4077895]this[/link] post with additional stills [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=4077910]here[/link].
