Banggood LEDs for multicopter orientation

Posted by Mark Williams on December 31, 2014 at 8:00am

I bought a few of these banggood LEDs in order to help avoid me constantly losing orientation of my hexacopter. They were very cheap and very easy to fit. The video doesn't do them justice but flying at about 2pm on a clear day they were still well visible from the ground at a reasonable distance. Definitely recommended.

These look like high quality, but only available in Australia
