Thanks guys. Just a few minutes before this was filmed there were 3 other slowsticks and a PZ T-28 with night lights flying and it was a blast. Not really sure how but everyone made it out in one piece. UFO's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! It's funny you say that. The first night that I flew it after I added the glow wire I was at the field beside the church again. There is a fairly wide tree line and some houses between the road and the field. Every time I would get high enough for the plane to be seen from the road I could here cars slowing waaay down out on the road. One car even stopped and was shinning a spot light around for a minute. My wife loves crime/detective shows and we have a police scanner in the house. When I got home from flying she said that just before I walked in she had heard on the scanner that there had been a report of "strange lights" in the area of the church. I lit up my little HBFP last year with the Green and red, a flashing light on the tail and a spotlight on the front. I flew it in front of my house after dark since that was the only calm time I could find. It was fun to hover about 30 feet about the street. Several cars completely stopped trying to figure out what it was. Of course, with the bee and with me standing in my yard with the TX it didn't take long for them to figure it out. Sooner or later, I need to get good enough to try this with a plank. Sounds like a tone of fun, Tony |

"Strange lights", "Church", approaching religious holiday, I'm sure some observers might be jumping to some interesting conclusions. ;D

Strange lights, lots of alcohol ... now that might get interesting. However....Don't forget about drunk rednecks with guns. They might have an impromptu turkey shoot  |

Around here, that is a danger most anytime, not just at night.   |

Yeah, that's odd! I looked and the proper headers are there. They just aren't showing up.
I have only tried using photobucket, but I would think others would work the same....
It would be fun to see your stuff!!

Okay, I went back and tried loading them from Photobucket and that worked.
Let me know what you think.

That's awesome!!!
I also have a Polaris that I haven't finished yet. I live on a lake, too, so it would be fun.
I love how you did your lights!!
Are those lights inside the fuselage?

Yep, I used the LED strips from hobbyking cut every third LED. I used CAT5 wire to solder it all back together for a total of 78 LEDs. 30 white in the upper fuselage and nacelle, 30 blue in the lower fuselage, and 9 each red and green in the tip floats.
