Default RE: night flying

"The glowire for my setup was a failure and is pretty much useles beyond a hundred feet or so its simply too wimpy and becomes invisable when used internally at anything over about a hundred feet. It would probably be fine for parkies keep close in and taped externally to the airplane in outline or such"



Hoss you failed to quote my comments on glowire two paragraphs down from which you quoted which I self will quote here. Used in the way I choose to do glowire is a failure and I do not recomend it. For larger airplanes and when positioned internally to glow through a matching color clear covering.

On the Quad Kaydet though and it has had the glowire since first modified five years ago there however has not been any kind of interferance with the 72mhz system. Just completed a couple more flights last nite with it.

My Next nite flyer will maiden in december is the Six Pack telly with six twentyfives and the internal lites which are not really neccessary when using my incandescient set up, will have LED strings intenal just because I like the effect. In fact am waiting on UPS now for those as I can,t finish wrapping it up untill they are installed.

Here are some shots from last nite of the Quad and the young fellows little UpRoar that I have been mentoring. Good vidio of both airplanes in flight are posted at a site called RC hangout however RCU will not allow direct links to that site.
