Hey all had an episode with my CX outside tonight. It was calm and dark out, thought I'd take her for a spin. Got a little too high and the damn wind took it about 90-100 feet high. Then it started to get blown down the street (backyards heavily wooded around here) Tried to fly it over the houses to the road but no luck so I finally dropped it about 3/4 of the block down. Running down the street in my PJ's looking in peeps backyards. Funny thing is, the lights were so bright I could see it all the way down the block before it dropped. I found the damn thing after knocking on a few doors. Broken blades, bent flybar and cracked case. That was all the damage! Anyways thought it was funny, only because I got it back had to tell someone!

Actually its just some hollow plastic tubing, I found that by reaming out the holes for the skid mounts a bit (so they sit looser) and adding the tubing seems to save my skids from breaks alot more.

How did you make the light set up? Looks cool and
as you said you can see it a good distance at night!

If you have it attached to the Li-po pack how does
it affect you flight time?

I got it at a webstore but I'm going with Thanh's custom light set instead. [url=http://www.tjtrc.com/LiPoV2.html]

I just glued the lights as I wanted them, attatched the board under the 4 n1 and solder into the power wires coming out of the 4 n1 into the battery pack. i haven't noticed any shortened flight time except maybe the weight of the lights. The total weight with battery of my copter is 237 grams, stock is 227 I think.
