GG,
We are excited that Model Airplane News is going to feature it in the Pilot Projects soon. We will then be talking to some manufacturers for possible kitting. If this doesn't go through, I will post full plans with building tips. All flat foam, so it is an easy build.

RU4,
The lights are two systems: LEDs are from MPI micro light system driven directly off off the Rx. Current draw is .2 amp for 8 lights (4 blue flashing, 4 red).

The outline blue neon lights are driven by an Align transformer running from a separate LiPo (2S 250mah) and connected to two strings of 1.5m blue neon. All lights will easily run for an hour, but flights are only about 10 minutes anyway. Plenty of "light time."
