I've got strobe lights on the heli, bright white one on the tail, red one on top of the anti rotation bracket and a red one on undercarriage... I didn't switch them on... Also got a digital rev counter on it, see my YT vids

Thanks Kev

Yes there awesome Kev, I've seen other night blades that look similar. I could design those but would really need a Gobby 630... Lol, I'd need bigger blades to get more LEDs on for resolution. It's not hard to do. Awesome those though...

BTW, to post a YT vid (or Vimeo or most others) just put the url directly in the post. Do not wrap it in a tag pair.

No, you did fine. The tareq video was wrapped in a url tag so it wasn't showing up as an embedded video. I fixed it up.

And yes, cool lights. Good that you have marker lights on other parts. I'd be freaking out flying at night like that with a heli. I've done it with my 350QX on safe and stability modes. But with a heli... I'd be back to hovering and that's it. :)
