Nav. light size 450 scale.
Hi Guys and Gals,
I picked up a 450 class Bell 206 here....post #8 , Thanks BladeBender! https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=696401 It came with a set of nav. lights that are 5mm led. My question is would that be the best size for this scale or should I use 3mm led's Thanks, Steve

Thanks for that info.
What I have is 5mm LED's. I am wondering if they are to large for a 450 scale Jet Ranger or should I use 3mm LED's Steve

I would think the 3mm would be closer to scale size for the 450 size heli.
The 5mm behind a lens of some sort would be another option. Just my opinion. HW.

I actually used the two surface mount LEDs from this on a micro coaxial, I think they were 1.5mm.
One red, one green. They were pretty bright. I powered them straight from the 3.7V flight battery. I made a hole just large enough for the LED to poke through and a little ca on the circuit board to mount them. This was a S300 canopy, real thin vacuum formed material. http://www.bladehelis.com/Products/D...rodID=EFLH2404 HW.
