Very eager to see your video. I've been kicking around the idea of a night flyer also. I see they make glow in the dark tail blades I wonder how they work?

Unless there's an LED directed at the tail blades they won't be visible.

I found I didn't need tail blades. Tail fin was awesome

Your night flyer project turned out great and may inspire me to give it a try.

Thanks, I hope you do. Many hours go into the build, and it looks sweet in the sky

Very nice, I like the contrast on the tail color. Nice bright blades. Good flying too. Canopy was pretty bright in the video, how is it IRL?

Thanks!

The canopy is stupid bright. The white is blinding, and much brighter than the tail. I'm thinking about cutting in a resistor to drop a volt or two.
