help on building navigation lights

[tymbrewolf]

I would like to build a simple 5 light system. I want one red and one green on wing tips. I want a flashing white on the vert stab and two very bright white landing/head lights all for a 5.5 to 7.5oz plane. I want to plug into the rx and have an inline micro switch to turn all on or off.

Can anyone point me to specific parts to complete this. I would rather buy LED's that would not require resistors and either extremely light coated wire or magnet wire. I am also open to buying a "kit" that I can finish the lengths at the servo lead.

Thank you.

Frank, thanks for the link. I found it interesting. It is a little beyond my limited knowledge. :)

Hi Timber :)

Did you ever get fixed up?

I only have outside to fly. Dusk found me before home did alot of the time. Now with the time change, it is lighter longer. I found a supplier on ebay and there is canuck engineering as well with cheap small stuff. I have found that I need better flying skills in the day, before I do close stuff at night near the ground. I still get confused.
I was also wondering about the weight of a homemade board on a 124g plane as well.

Thanks for the interest.
