Good job David.

Itis neat that you used the sonar bar for your receiver mount.

I took a differenct approach and build a receiver deck for my home-brew 3DR machine.

Good mod! Thank you for sharing.

thats cool indeed!

i think i would use a 3-5v led strip on the side for space and weight saving

but i love project boxes too :)

Thanks for the comments all.

@ Stefano, yes, that was the bit table I used.  The next thing I'm considering is including a hi-vis rotating light for low battery.  There are already other alternatives (which are sound based, or via OSD) for that, but not hi-viz so it's on the list.  But could make an easy add-on for my little kit.

@ Doug - The kit It does fit nicely on the sonar arm, but I would like it a little shorter.  But hey, maybe that's version 2 and will probably include the rotating warn light for battery.  Btw, nice work on the receiver deck.  Looks good. 

@ Charles, I haven't seen any superbright LED strips of that LED size (10mm), do you know of them?  As for weight, yeah, it would probably save a little, but I think mine weighs only approx 30 grams as it is.

What does the AUX LED do? I haven't really found anything about that on Google...

Stefan:

It used to work as a sub-control:

        if (200 <= g.rc_7.control_in && g.rc_7.control_in < 400) {
            copter_leds_aux_on();                                                       //if sub-control of Ch7 is high, turn Aux LED on
        } else if (g.rc_7.control_in < 200) {
            copter_leds_aux_off();                                                      //if sub-control of Ch7 is low, turn Aux LED off
        }

but now looks like it's just CH7 controlling COPTER_LED_1 on/off (if AUX flag is set).
