Align night blades, how long do they stay lit

The three led ones for the T-rex??

Hi! I don't know about the 325mm night-blades used on the T-Rex, but my 288mm night-blades (used on a 400 size Falcon 3D heli) seem to stay lit for about 45 minutes... then the blue LED goes out, followed about 5 minutes later by the green LED, then the red LED just dimms way down and by then I pull the connector plug and go charge 'em. It seems to take a good 50 minutes or so before there's nothing left but the red LED. Takes mine about 30 minutes to charge back up.

Now my very first pair of these CF 288 mm night-blades had a bad blade that wouldn't take a charge... it would only stay lit about 2 minutes before the LED's would start going out. If you're not getting reasonable light time on a single blade it could be defective! I had to get my 1st set replaced and their replacements have worked well for about a dozen flights thus far.

Hope this helps.

ps. Ka-planes.com and XHeli.com both sell the 288 mm CF night blades I'm using on my Falcon 3d 400 sized electric heli. Have had problems with XHeli.com though not returning e-mails or answering their phones... maybe they have their problems fixed by now though.
