LED Night Flying Part 10 - Remote Controlling your LED circuitsControl your LED Circuits with your receiver - using simple components like brushed ESCs or remote controlled relays. Add some mixing and you can not only turn them on or off, but also dim your lights.

LED Night Flying Part 9 - Placing your LED circuits on the craftYou're done wiring, and you've got a craft. Like chocolate and peanut butter, popcorn and movies, it's time for your LEDs to become quite literally attached to your craft.

LED Night Flying Part 8 - LED Wiring and Current Check for Battery PowerLet's wire up ALL eight LED circuits we've made so far all together in parallel and check how much current the full circuit pulls, examine how to power the circuit, and even look at a modular 'power bar' to make swapping out different LEDs a snap!

LED Night Flying Part 7 - SMD LED circuit wiringSMD LEDs - You can buy the same LEDs that come in the strip kits in individual packages and wire them up any way you want. Lots of variety in color, brightness, viewing angles, just annoying in terms of size when handling.

LED Night Flying Part 6 - Wiring Your Standard Bulb LEDsWe'll calculate the resistance for our 3 bulb LEDs (Spotlight and Straw Tube), wire them up and test them out.

LED Night Flying Part 5 - LED Circuit Tools and LED Strip KitsBuilding your own circuits or just extending wires? Here's what we use for tools. Plus, we'll measure out some LED Strip Kits for the sides of our Combat! Night Flyer.

LED Night Flying Part 4 - Parallel LED CircuitsWiring in Series got you down because you don't have enough voltage to wire more LEDs? Drop some Parallel lines and add as many LEDs as your battery can handle!

LED Night Flying Part 3 - More Series LED CircuitsLet the rambling Vinnie Hoverino's circuit talk from last time sink in as we look at practical examples of LED series circuits, and use web calculators to do the math for you!

LED Night Flying Part 2 - LED Characteristics and The Simple LED CircuitLED Characteristics, from Colors to Viewing Angles, along with Vinnie Hoverino's introduction to Ohm's Law - and how to calculate the resistors you need to NOT smoke out LEDs.

LED Night Flying Part 1 - Types of LEDS and Power SourcesLooking to add some LED lights to your craft for night flying? Here starts an eleven part series of articles and videos on just that!

Night Flying LED Enclosed Kit, Mark ICompleting my Night Flying setup, First Round. A simple circuit with three canopy LEDs and enclosure, tapping into the balance lead. Also includes the LED blades and light strings.

Make your own LED Helicopter blades for night flying!I love LEDs. It's the mini-electronics geek in me. Needless to say, it was one of the first modifications I wanted to make to my helicopters. I started searching for LED kits and saw Align cold light strings, LED flashing kits, strips, and then... LED Blades.
