thanks guy

I'll post how I did the tail boom and landing skid

About the light system, it's DIY light, I used some leds and straws and used power from lipo battery. I got about 8 mins flying with lights.

Cheers,
Tung

Thanks,

@ minirc963: yeah glue can't hold the tail, you need something strong to hold it. Here are some pictures about my modifications









@ lamrob: so far I have no problem with my light sytem. No glitches at all, it flies like normal. The flight is a little bit shorter but it doesn't matter as I have several battery packs.
