Hi guys,
I'm new to scale helis but I'm trying to put together a Hughes500D fuselage on my 450X Trex. Have some questions I hope you can help answer:
- what is the lighting arrangement on the Hughes500D? From what I can see it should have a red and green permanent light on the skids, and then two red strobes on the main heli body (one up top and one below)? And one landing light at the lower front of the body?
- What kind of LED do you recommend for me to use? Best to go look around SIM LIM or is there a recommended assembled set I can get from somewhere?
- Should I run the lights off the main lipo or use a separate battery? For separate battery I'm concerned about weight as it's a Trex. If I use the main lipo I guess I need some specific circuitry?
Hope you guys can offer me some advice.
One other non-lighting related question... what's the best glue to use to assemble the fuselage (e.g. attach tail fins, landing skid supports, etc)? I read that GOOP is a good choice?
Thanks in advance.
