Blade manufacturers?

[Snakebite]

I like the look of night flying and I've seen pictures of helicopters that have (how to describe this...) basically, the blades show pictures or words and such, top & bottom and are programmable...

Who makes these blades and does anyone make them for 3 blade helis?

Also, can you get tail rotors that do this too?

As far as I know, tail blades just have LEDs to show the disk.

Nice, thanks.

Unfortunately, they don't do 360mm lol.

That's a cool easy way of doing it, but it's not the REALLY COOL programmable type lol.
It was a video of them that got me interested (I think it was a bat signal on the top...).

BEWARE BEWARE!!!!
Perfect regulators is basically not shipping the 360mm size night blade kit.

I placed my order in early November and I STILL don't have the 360mm kit
It said 4-6 weeks backorder when I placed the order, and it's been 13 weeks now. I've called and emailed. Never a response by email. I actually got ahold ahold of the guy on the phone a few times though, he's nice and says "oh yeah, 1 week ... we'll get the last piece for the kit in 1 week". Well, that was 8 weeks ago, then 4 weeks ago he said the same thing, and then again last week. They STILL don't have the kit in stock (but they have my $). I get the distinct impression I'm being "strung along". 4-6 weeks backorder does NOT mean 13+ weeks. That's not how you run a business!

I'm sure they'll be back in stock some day. But view the 4-6 weeks as a complete BS time estimate.

Strange, as far as I can see, they just don't actually do a 360 size...

There's a lot of electronics in those blades which lends itself to larger blades. I think you'll see a lot more 700 sized night fliers so the market is better. Maybe if the demand is high for smaller blades they'll develop a set, but I think it's a niche market at best.
