Default New afterburner ring and reflection

Hi guys!
I have changed the turbine in my F-16 from a GBooster 160 to a Jetcat P180, and needed a new
and bigger pipe, which also meant that I needed a new afterburner ring from Flugmodellbau in
Germany. Hajo, the owner of the company, came up with this triple LED ring which gives off an
incredible amount of light. However, I had to place the ring a bit further in on the pipe so it is not
too visible when not lit, and still I wanted to see the effect from an angle. I clad the back part of
the cone with reflective tape on the inside, and the result is that you can see the light (reflection)
at a very steep angle, not always having to show the tail to the spectators - I can't wait to fly her
again!!
