F-16 scratchbuild 68mm EDF styrofoam

no need, as long you have a resistor for each led, it'll do fine. If your resistors feels hot while you run on 3s like i did, i'll up my resistor size to 1watt. (bigger resistor).

Those can get from simlim tower not simlim square ah.. 2nd-3rd floor, many shops to explore there!

[jansonfinn]

yo!

Heres a schematic circuit diagram i drawn for your cessna, Get a PCB board, few resistors of different resistance ,2 caps , 2 transistors and wires. The resistors preferbably can be replaced by a variable resisitors so you have more control over the pulse rate.

The voltage supply can be taken from one of your unused slot in the rx.

Feel free to ask more if theres any confusion.

Can show me the backview of your PCB board? Thanks

[viper1990]

I hope you didn't bought the wrong one yet..., i forgot to mention that there are many different types of PCB board. I always go for this one, i've forgotten the name of this type. Along side are some caps and resistors and a variable resistor.

Hi Viper, I kinda allude more to the timing at the beginning and end of the vid you posted. Which fixed resistor setting brings about this speed?

Cool, thanks for your sharing again.

[simonwoo]

Viper, will you consider doing up some of these and putting them up for 'sale' for a token sum? I think what you're doing is fantastic and I'm personally very impressed with the end result.

Hihi,

Its the var-resistors that controls the pulse speed. I've tested many combination and came out with the best combo yet which is using 0-100k variable resistors along with the other values of resistors. Hard to elabourate this in words, so i'll just draw a picture to illustrate properly. Once again,hope is not too confusing

Er , why not? If people wants, i don't mind making them . The ordering of flasher circuits can start today!

Ok, frankly if i were to qoute the price that i'm selling, i would sell $10 per circuit ,ok? (my transport to simlim /soildering lead/wires/components/PCB board/ and walking to hobby shop to by rx male connectors and having my lunch there)

(Pm me or let me know in this thread) ,Will let the name list fill up over 1 month, a few days if alot of people are interested. Collection point will be notified in this thread. Preferbably Singapore poly or when i go to rotor/fookhai on my free time.

oh ya, and heres a picture of the circuit , this is the actual size of the circuit,around a 50cent coin. I compacted everything together so could be fitted in plane. This is what u'll get if you make an order

before placing my order? may I know how many Leds & how many colours r there?

[romihensem]

hmmm

before placing my order? may I know how many Leds & how many colours r there?

bro i think its only for the circuits. got to get the LED yr self. or ask him whether he can include the LED charges as well.

[viper1990]

I'll get the LED for you guys too snice i'm buying everything in bulk at simlim tower. If you guys asking for 3 packets of LEDs of any colours or less, don't have to pay extra, more then that or even hunderds of leds and lit up your plane like a christmas tree then the LEDs will be included into the cost .

Colours:
1) Red comes in 5 in a packet
2) orange comes in 3 or 5 in a packet
3) yellow comes in 3 or 5 in a packet
4) green comes in 3 or 5 in a packet
5) blue comes in pairs in a packet
6) white comes in pairs in a packet


Price: I don't have the price for all the LEDS , red are 5 for $1, blues are 2 for $0.8 ,whites are around $1.5 for 2. Just take it on average each led cost around 50cents.

Sizes: There are many different sized leds, 3mm and 5mm. The 5mm sized led can take more power,brighter and also use up more amps then the 3mm leds. eg. One red 5mm led draws 100mA 5volt max, if you have 10 of those,it'll be 1A current 5volt. The 3mm LEDS are about twice as cheap. Though both appears to have same brightness, the 5mm LED go even brighter without frying.

Take these red leds for example.

[VinCopter]

The packaging looks familiar, been long time since I last visited there.

Viper, try to get the resistance to limit the current to around 20 to 40 mA. Everything will run cooler.

The price is good now, time to get more LED.

[simonwoo]

I'm definitely IN bro But I want the plug and play version hor, meaning everything in

By the way I just went to SP for the buffet lunch yesterday, and I think I passed by the field. It is really small man :P I think I can fly my 3D there, but an EDF?

So when do you normally fly? I'm (pleasantly) surprised they actually let you fly in the field there!

[viper1990]

Er, yep, we flying EDF ,zipping all over the skies at that field, And each madien is as exciting as a aircraft carrier launch ,because it might bang a building each hand launch ,landing is equally fun, The plane has to go into high alpha and make plenty of circles before touching down. Really train us to fly in a very very confined space. Imagine when we go to bigger flying fields. We'll be like : WOah, huge field!!!


Er, if you want plug and play , will be more troublesome cause i need to the wiring length for each led to the circuit. my F-16 end up having about 5-6 meters of wiring inside it because the led is everywhere on the plane . So i'll be just selling the circuit and the leds, the wire and led you guys have to soilder on cause i won't know the excat length of wire you all need and where the led will be positioned on the aircraft.

Since we r pre-ordering, so maybe we can tell u the length between each Leds? We dun mind the lead time. As long as the length suits our plane!

Or u can make longer wires on the safer side? Coz longer is better than short

[simonwoo]

Ok bro, not trying to be too demanding lah Anyway I am just looking at the simple standard lights, red and green for the sides and white for the rear. That's all
