Hey!Great idead with the ping pong balls. . . but listen, how about some high intensity LEDs inside each ball? You overcome the problem with directional light and also your balls (I know this sounds funny) will glow brighter. . One LED per ball will do, it’s enough. . . Try it. . . You don’t need too much of a battery to test it. . . Just a suggestion. . .

Yep, I fly in the dark with leds. They are pretty directional and really you cant see them. Good thinking.

LEDs arent bright enough, and are pretty directional, not so suited for Night flying, These are Incandescent 5 volt bulbs and yes I made a blinker circuit. I think you can see in in my history of night flying video or others, not sure. Radio Shack sells a chip that can make LEDs blink or light bulbs.

Dave, I love your videos. I searched through all the questions and havent seen it asked yet and it may sound like a stupid question but: how did you make that tail LED Flash? Is it possible to make it flash like a strobe? Many thanks in advance!

Thanks very kindly. Haha. We think alike. I always tell people Port Wine is red, and that is always the left wing.

Hey Dave your videos are a realy good learnig tool for rookie pilots like me. I’ve got a good saying to help remember the left and right thing “There is a little bit of Red Port Left in the bottle” Which always seems to be the case when ya want to have a drink!

The tail rotor keeps it from going round and round, but is the hardest thing for most people to learn to control. See my 9 heli flying tips for more but the HB MK3 would be a good choice.

i meant does it go round and round not spin around just going round and round where u cant really control it oh and if i cant really afford those helis is it ok if i get a honey bee? sorry i have so many questions ^^

This is a very stable heli, for a tail rotored helicopter. No helicopter is stable and can just be parked in one spot without constant attention to all 7 controls on the tx by the pilot. Coaxials are more stable, like the MCX or Blazing star.

They are Ping Pong balls. Also see my video response video above, called Stealth Helicopters, you cant fly them if you cant see them.

No sir. I came close, but like my 9 rules of thumb and tips state, I always remind myself that I have to fly the helicopter, not let it fly me.

Have you ever had a heli take off into your antenna or ribbon on it?

About 8 to 10 minutes.
