Love night flying with a lighted bird… Got a little OMP M1 and was trying to figure out how. Since the flight time is only 3 mins max… and adding LEDs on the blades would not be fun…

Any thoughts on using glow in the dark tape?

My experience is that it's way to dim to be useful. Sorry.

Garret and I just made night rigs out of our S2's.
1220 battery holder can get you started. CA to the blades near the grip.
EL wire or led strips on the canopy, boom, tail fin.
