  • you realize you can buy a complete LED navigation lights system with a switch for only $10 on eBay! smart one you just ruined your plane with making those huge holes when you could insert small LEDs!!!

  • "Smart one" didn't ruin his plane with huge holes. There were no holes at all - none....look again. Also, "smart one" posted this video over two years ago when I was just getting into flying. You, smart one, are the one posting negative comments on a two-year old video.

  • How did you ook them up? Grom a seperate power supply, or did you get the power from the bat pack. I would like to do this but I do not know how to. Also if you hooked up from batt pack did you use resistors. how did you hook up the leds in series or how. Please get back to me i realy want to do this. as you can see from my videos a use leds but they stink yours are realy good. I get my power from a whatch battery. Thank you

  • Each light is self-contained with its own battery and on/off switch. Very simple.

  • How did you attach the wing 'struts' to the velcro?

  • Very simple. Cut a three inch piece of self adhesive velcro. The just peel off the backing paper and fold in half with the strut inside. I now take a pair of scissors and cut the corners off for a smoother appearance. You'll love how this makes wing removal and installation so quick and easy.

  • "I'm not sure why you would want to attach a strobe to your finger..." that was my absolut favorite part!

  • Dude, thank you for the tips! specially the Velcro wing strut attachments! GENIUS!! Thanks!!!

  • Looks ridiculous !

  • The reason for many UFO sightings

  • only problem is short of making your super cub light up as if it had a spot light , it is very difficult to fly at night

  • wow, I know this video is old, but I wanted to tell you that your mod with the velcro is fantastic!!!! It works great!!! Thanks

  • I think it's a great idea! WHo wants to wait for shipping from ebay when you can grab something quick and easy at walmart anyways?

  • I also found at Walmart at stuffed pet toy cat, which I keep in my toolbox along with my night lights... WTF #t=1m35s

  • you rock-- i hadnt thought of velcroing the wing struts  but i had thought of everything else i thought-- good stuff and super night flight

  • just use the export acsesory

  • Great Video, too bad it's 2yrs old or maybe I would be able to find those lights at my walmart, even looked for the celebration lights. I'm not inspired to make a custom light system with LEDs off the xport plug.

    I don't like the light systems that look like 3-4 LED's flying in the sky, I like seeing the wings or fuse a little. So I'm building it semi-based on your light positions. Thanks again
