Epilespy Warning: contains fast blinking lights

Latest mod for the X-3D X-BL Quadrocopter that attaches to the X-CSM frame. It is removable for daytime flying. Raining outside so test was done in tight quarters inside the garage.

Mod uses helicopter training gear for the central CF spokes and mount, sequencing light bars from cheap light wands, 0.9mm El Wire + Align driver along a CF ring.

The first part shows the different manually selectable sequencing light patterns. The CF Ring El/Glow Wire is switchable via the Transmitter. The light booms also highlight the florescent tape on the props. Front orientation is easily visible via glow wire along the top front boom and all LEDs ON underneath. Rear pattern = all LEDs blinking, Left/Right pattern = LEDs strobing outward.

Flying in X-ACC mode v1.2 for extra self leveling stability.

Shot with a Canon sd850is and composed with muvee AutoProducer.

Original Music: Hand of Sorrow + Our Solemn Hour by Within Temptation
UPDATE: had to replace WT with this track via audioswap on threat of pulling the video.
