Twin-The Flying Christmas Tree-Star successfull flown!

I planned first to try the model out in daylight, but since it has been raining for two days now, had no chance. The weather, however, permitted flying this evening around 8.30 PM so I walked into the nearby field and gave it a go. Splendid! The underside LEDs are forming an arrow sign in the sky, and the red and green LEDs are also very visible in the wingtips and tail. The truth is evident, the more lights you have in the model, the easier it is to fly...I made some aerobatics and also low figure 8:s and never "really, REALLY!" lost the orientation of the model. The spin looks marvellous at night! This ugly model is much more beautiful at night when I can see the LEDs only. But with the twin brushless motors screaming with those tiny 5x5 APC:s it is not exactly the most silent one to explore the night sky, although it does glide well. The LHS stocks small props quite limitedly, but maybe I´ll try some 6x6:s later. This is all fun and games until the neighbours file some UFO sightings...
Maybe, with some more night models, we could do a night show with music, like in Jet Power in Germany...
