I'll get pictures of the total 'kit' tomorrow, but this is a set of nearly new Align 325 Night Blades w/ charger and the little connector thingies, an Align clear canopy with the green cold strings already setup and run, a loose CS blue string and the CS generator to power the lights. Lots of fun, over $100 invested, $65 shipped CONUS. I'm clearing out my little to unused gear and I've had no time in the evenings to fly so my loss is your gain! I probably had 8 flights total on all this gear... PayPal is cool, PM me...

That's pretty cool. Hope you don't mind a stupid question though. How come the bottom pic makes it look like the main is running backward?

What, that's not the direction the rotor is supposed to go?!? :YeaBaby: ;)

Optics, hard to say WHY the picture came out that way but a pretty cool effect nonetheless... These are a lot of fun, if I only had time to enjoy them in the evenings.

Happy Flying!

Sorry for the cruddy quality of the picture, it's a gloomy day around these parts...

So here's the canopy already setup with the green/yellow Cold String, the blue CS is loose, the CS Generator, the night blades and their charger (and the connector jumpers for the blades are included as well, 3 total). $60 shipped CONUS.

The tip of the blade is Red LED, there's a Blue LED next to it of the top of the blades and then a little more inboard underneath there's a Green LED. So you get upper and lower separation with the different colours, something some of the other night blades out there don't offer. There's a Mini-Lipo built into the blades that lasts quite a while, you just re-charge the blades on the heli and you're all set for a night of flying!

How many charges/ flights are on the rotors? Have they ever been crashed? If not, ill take em.

I realized why the blades look like they're moving in the wrong direction. It looks like the photographer used a flash. When he/she took the picture, the shutter speed was slower than the flash so he caught the blades with the flash, then when it was darker (a fraction of a second later), the photo caught only the light from the blades. So the blades were definitely moving the right direction.

Make sense?

Yes! I didn't think of the flash. That explains it perfectly. I knew the blades were spinning right, I just couldn't explain the effect on the picture.
