When I was new to the RC hobby, I cut myself pretty bad with a prop. Now every time I watch one of your videos where you mention taking off the prop for safety reasons, I hit like straight away. Good work by some very good people.
Hey guys, fantastic vids, keep it up!!! Can you please tell me what the best wire/cable from hobbyking to use, to install the turnigy LED strips??? I would be cutting them up and placeing them in different parts of the plane like you have, I just want to know the best and lightest cable to use, to chain them together, and to run them from the battery. I will be putting them on A leadfeather epp yak55, so I need the wire as light as possible. Cheers, From New Zealand
Go to the dollar store and get some barbecue skewers my friend. If your local dollar store doesn’t have them-try your grocery store. Glue them with gorilla glue in vulnerable areas but don’t make things too heavy-also remember that gorilla glue expands to three sizes it’s original size so start very very small. Good luck-have fun😁
Can i give one tip insert lighting inside the aircraft. Then they will see that the plane lit up inside, not just outside.Akromaster is perfect , it split in two sou it is easy to mount inside the plane
Very nice video! I'd like to add lights to the Radian Pro where I could plug the battery into the lights then inot the receiver. I have NO skills building so I stick with the RTF and BNF versions, any suggestions, thanks
Do you already have video on how to set up the lighting to be turned on and off with a tx switch like you have in the night flying video? If so I can't find it. Thanks.
@msteer79 take yourself to jaycar and buy a roll of 0.315mm enamel coated copper wire, it works great for hooking up LED's and making extensions for sub 5gram servos, just make sure you have a hot soldering iron to melt off the enamel coating before you solder. You could also rip open an ethernet cable and use that wire of do what these guys are doing and use telephone wire. cheers, Zac (aka NZsloper from parkflyers)
Can you “actually” install lights onto your airplane? After you “actually” watch this “actually” highly informative video, “actually” anyone should be “actually” capable of “actually” accomplishing the job...

I know this video is older, but it did help me learn how to wire my LEDs up on my planes/quadcopter. Thanks guys!
@ossiegoldhill123 I think that's a great idea! If people are interested... we would love to do that :D
usually somewhere between 3-5V, but the LED strips tend to have built-in resistor, so they can take 12V in
@jasser222 We have a 3D foamie coming soon.
wow, i have never seen an angled soldering on an LED strip until now
Great Video guys. I love Night Flying :-)
So my plane has an extra wire coming from the electronics to power fpv. I was wondering, can I use this to power LEDs? Thanks!
I’ll have to try out glow wire. It looks really neat!
Looking for info on iPad controlling the radio..Super great shows I've enjoyed every one! Also HobbyKing look forward to ordering from you!
Oh my I cant wait to do this on mine
would appreciate any info on creating the jumper to bypass the lights so they don't turn on and use battery power during daylight hours- thank you

can you show us on how to make your rc plane stronger the cheap way??? thanks, by the way nice videos hope you can do more

Great tips guys and great show.

Can you do a review about a 3D / stunt plane like the superlight Edge540EP 3D kit from hobbycity?
@flitetest yes i would defiantly be it would be cool if you could show your crashes and bloopers
I think you should do a review on the ryan-sta.
what kind of wire did you use to connect led
OOOOOOH SHISNTIT THATS THE NUTBALL BEFORE THE NUTBALLL
What is that little plane at the beginning?
Thay say its phone-wire.
You can use the wires form network cables (TP-cables) if you have some spare

How many volts can the LEDs handle?
Explains many of the UFO sightings, I suspect. lol
@flitetest
can i ask what is with the rifle camera thing? it seems kinda odd that you wold be filmed with a gun.
thanks.
also a trick i learned is to put single lights in drinking straws to get diffrent effects.
no rcgroups link?
is the led waterpruth
you should get a tv program or something :P :D
I use a plug connected to my esc power leads
'Glow wire' aka 'EL wire' or Electro-luminescent wire.. made famous by the raver community some years ago!
2018?
I have question where would you be able to find these LED lights. Can you please reply thanks and great video man.
Scares the neighbour and depending on where you live they mite think its a UFO and then you make the news....

I think I'll do a video on how to use lights properly.... there a trick to doing it right.
No offense guys, but lose the beanhat sidekick. He keeps interrupting with annoying comments.
