LED's to light up your racer

It's always a good idea to put LED lights on your quad. I do it as I always get confused on which is front and back while flying some distance away. These LED lights are actually designed for a different frame, which also is a few bucks more than my shoestring budget QAV250 frame. The colors blue, white, green and red. The support 11V at 3S 14.8V at 4S. This package goes for $1.53 from good old Banggood.

I threaded the wires around the frame and through holes in order to get them away as good as possible as this frame does not contain soldering points and built-in power distribution.

Almost final assembly. I'm going to attach the lights under the frame or facing backwards so that they are visible from below. Not sure yet as attaching facing backwards will be an issue with the battery that also slides in from behind.







Have fun and let there be light!

One wire too short

I've been assembling the quad today and it turns out that I'm one wrote too short, or actually a few too short. The wires from the ESC's that are to connect to the power distribution board are a few centimeters too short... This means I need to solve that before there will be any flying :(
