Looks very nice.....That is almost what I have planned for mine. I have a Blue Canopy already, and a V-Tail on the way.

I alsl planned on the Red LED in the back, but I was going to do 1-2 Bright Blue LED's to light up the canopy, just for fun.

[helimech66]

I GOT IT FROM A FRIEND AT WORK WHO MOVED UP TO A CP PRO. HE WAS GIVING ALL HIS CX2 STUFF AWAY. I'LL ASK HIM TOMORROW. IT ONLY SAYS FLYING SPORT ON IT.. HAVE YOU SEEN MY FLYING BEER CAN? :glasses2:

Alright!! I really like the lights, too. How did you wire those and where did you get them?

[helimech66]

I WAS AT A HOBBY STORE AND MADE MENTION ABOUT ADDING LIGHTS THE OWNER WENT INTO THE BACK ROOM AND CAME OUT WITH A CIRCUIT BOARD THE SIZE OF A DIME WITH LIGHTS ATTACHED TO IT. THERE IS NO NAME ON IT,AND HE DIDNT KNOW WHERE HE GOT IT. HE SAID ITS FREE SO I JUST ADDED THE RIGHT SIZE PLUG AND HOOKED IT INTO THE BATT PORT OF THE 4 IN 1.http://www.tjtrc.com/LiPoV2.html TRY THIS WEBSITE FOR LIGHTS.. :glasses2:

Hey helimec66, quit BSing and get back to work!

[olhippie]

Thanks for that info. I think I know the web site to get it or some like it. They look real good. I think I'll give it a try.

did you notice if it flies outside any better once the rear tail was changed?

[helimech66]

I have not had the chance because of weather but I cant imagine it wouldnt. the tail fin you asked about was purchased as a kit. local hobby stores have them in plastic and composite. :glasses2:
