RC-Hangout

i just finished replacing the lights on the back of my mini.
I got a 5m strip of 5630 LEDs from Banggood, and I am very pleased with the result.
I think 5m might have been a little overkill but I want to re LED my night quad at some stage.
Should hopefully make it a bit more visible to the guys I fly with, even in daylight.
The red ones are the pathetic excuse for lights that I removed.
There is actually 3 green LEDs on each arm but the camera had trouble separating them

Very cool:)

Very bright, like my front ones...

Awesome!

Got green to go on the back of mine to Stambo should have my printed bracket tonight hopefully it came out ok,

I can't remember who but I think someone here came up with this idea of using the spine thing from a cheap binder to mount on the arms. I stuck pieces of this on the arms and used the stick on LED strips.

Yeah that was me, lol

That's how I got mine now, but wanted a bumper string on the back,

Will put up pics tomorrow

I loved that Idea Kev.
I will be doing that to mine, once its flying right.
Those LEDs are super bright

Really looks good, Stambo! Very bright! I ordered Blue and White LED's, I can't remember where from, for my quad. I have the White LED's on the front two arms and Blue LED's on the rear arms. They are awesomely bright. I've never installed LED's on a model before so I really didn't know how it would turn out. However, I was able to get good solder joints and I didn't burn anything up, lol. I'll see about posting a video, later today, that shows my finished quad with FPV and LED's.

I also ordered some more Blue, Red, and Green LED's for a night flying plane project, from HK, along with my Lost Model Buzzer...I actually ordered 3 buzzers......just in case.

Love the binder idea Kev, my prob is I've got the ESC's on the arms...

So have I, still works for me.

Did you stick the ESC's on top of binder, a picture would be good Stambo

If it was me Tony, i would slide the thin end over the arm and use the large flat side to stick it on:) I expect that is what they are doing:)

Yep that's what I'm thinking too, it will mean sticking the ESC's on top I recon. I've got some rgb led strips I want to put on but they look AWEFUL just on the arm. Also just got my accelerometer chip.. But that's a new post...

Dam these green are mega bright,

Very nice Kev:)

That's really cool, Kev! Looks awesome!

Wow, those are bright.... Lol

Here you go Graham.
I put a little hot glue inside the channel just for a bit a bit of extra security.

Mint Stambo, I think it was me who wanted pic. Cheers
