Up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, nooo it's just Tony Lol. Nice lighting. Should be able to see that with no problem. Good Job and flying Tony.

I've never weighed them Stambo, there's 42 leds on the strip. I used a red plastic band I cut off a plastic haribo box.... Plus a small circuit board as these are not run by cleanflights own led driver. I designed my own and wrote the code...
I'm going to do a more advanced circuit later with an accelerometer on it so I can change the LED sequences based on movement...
Thanks Dog... The camera didn't do them justice really, they look pretty cool in real life... Ended up with a few people watching to see what it was....
