Default RE: Heli lights

high flyer 777, Besides my Li-Po alarm green lights lol.. I was looking for a way to keep better orientation when flying further out and in high bank turns and was looking for a single bright LED tail light for my King2. I ripped apart a $2 LED pen light, put the button cells together on the frame, put a slide switch in-line, ran the thin wire to the back tail fin and secured the LED to the top of the tail fin. It works great and can be seen from behind and from the sides, but not the front so it's not blinding me during nose in hovering. These pics aren't great, but will at least let ya see what I mean. You can find some cool stuff at the dollar store. I found a motion activated cat toy that has 3 LED lights. Gonna tinker with that as well. If you like to tinker with LED's and stuff, these places have some great prices: http://www.goldmine-elec-products.co....asp?dept=1088 http://www.dollarrcparts.com/connectors.html Steve
