| I've had this little guy for about 24 hours now (5 flights), and decided to do a little customizing 
First off was to get a TP 860 battery for less "hang time" during the charge cycle, and I did the wire extension mod to avoid removing the canopy for pack replacement/charging. While "under the hood", I added a blue LED to replace the fake red beacon at the top of the canopy. It's wired directly to the battery extension (on when battery plugged in), and has a 200ohm resistor in series. Total current draw is 20ma's, and the added mass is 1.0 gram exactly.
I'm figuring that one more LED located in the rear motor cavity and aimed out towards the tail, will light the boom up pretty well and this bird will be night worthy (or at least dark room worthy) 
FWIW, for those that have never seen one, here's a pic of a full size Lama!
