    I received my LED strip so fast, installed on the inside of my Demibot arms with realpit switching and OH HELL YESSSSS!!! I cannot believe how freakishly bright they are! So very very cool just like neon! I'm not into LEDs but had to have this product with no regret whatsoever. Vid doesn't even do them justice. Scuse me I'm off to order more.

The red and green will be used for navigation on my 40" fpv wing for LOS flying at night... its nearly pitch black in my area with next to zero ambient lighting even with the moon out!! The Blue will be the main wing colors!
    What 12 volt reg do you use? All the 12v volt regs I've found before posting this comment were these cast aluminum heat sinked block regs, they're huge and heavy! Also how would you wire a RealPit with a PWM Aviation Receiver?

      If you are running individual esc's, you probably have your main battery lead coming to your FC or to a PDB board. You can solder the LED leads right to the same pads as your main battery lead. So they are on the big + and - pads 👍

      You want to keep it as light as possible. Check out Duracell 27 and a matching battery tray, if you want easy and disposable. If you want to be bright as possible, go for a 4S 300mAh lipo and use XT30 connector....but that's going to need a lipo charger that alot of DJI pilots dont have. I appreciate the request, i'll think on it a bit more and see if i can make an easy kit👍

    • @Fly_High_FPV

      Dont use the led pad for my single color strips, they just need to be wired straight to Vbat, so they get the full 4S voltage without any regulators. I typically solder right to the main battery leads on the esc. If you want to do a quick test, just stick the led leads into a charged 4S battery, but prepare your sunglasses 😎 if you're stuck, shoot me a DM on instagram or FB messenger @FlyHighFPV

      The main battery leads go from the lipo to the + and - pads on the ESC. You can piggy back the led + and - right on the main leads on the esc. That way as soon as you plug in the battery the LED's get power off the esc, and you dont need any regulators 👌

      @Smokebreak FPV to sodler i peel both back half an inch to expose the joints, after soldering i put a dab of conformal coating onnthe joint and then heatshrink coveres the joint. I then lay the half inch of sticky adhesive back down on the heatshrink. To apply it to your frame, first clean with ISO if youre covered in grass, then peal the paper backing off a little at a time, leaving the clear adhesive on the strips, and sticking it to your frame a few inches at a time. As i finish each arm, i zip tie the arms , and if you have a tight corner or a spot where it's coming off a lil dab of CA glue is fantastic for repairs 👍

      Yeah, it is usually about $17-25usd to get even a tiny light weight package shipped out of the United States, but you can load up to 1lb before the shipping price goes up (I keep it real, everything based on actual shipping costs). One work around is to tell your local RC shops to hit me up, I'm already supplying dealers like FPVHobbyNinja in Canada and working with Dread_FPV in Switzerland, and I'm importing frames from Australian ImpulseRC. I'd love to work with you or local dealers on bulk pricing 👌 i can do individually packaged meters or 5meter rolls.
