| night flyinIt's a good idea to have a "backup" power source on board. We use the lighted blades (1), the glow wire outlining the canopy and boom (2) most of us use 2 drivers for this for separate power sources, and we use glo sticks (3)(available from Target in automotive section) that are placed on the skids for additional lighting. This way, if one source fails in the air, you have ample light to get it back safely without limping it back i.e. just on the night blades...that sucks.
With the sticks on the skids, you won't need the flashlight to light the ground when landing (if you're by yourself this would be difficult to fly and light your landing pad). The light from the glo-sticks is plenty bright and good.
It's one of those things that sounds scary until you get out and do it. Then, you'll be typing here like the rest of us saying how cool and SIMPLE it is. Let us know how it goes. |
