Pricey maybe but just think how much fun you could have spoofing all those UFO watchers!

14 years ago when Iwas about 16 I SWORE I saw a UFO... then when I recently joined helifreak Irealized it was almost definitally some guy flying a heli with some kind of night blades because it looked EXACTLY like a basic night blade setup.

Awesome, not the same as the heli blades, but I'll get one of those!

YEah I have seen videos of "supposed" UFO's and they look to me like a heli with night blades on them. Latest I saw was from a evening art festival where someone caught one hovering nearby.

Their is an outback town in Australia called Wycliffe Well that's out equivalent of Roswell. It's tiny with a dozen houses maybe. I headed past their last year on my way home for the season. I was going to park my car down the road and get my 450 night setup out and get the locals all fired up, but in the end I went past during the day

need about 5 or 6 people with 700 class e-heli's. Put a UFO fuselage around it leaving a hole in the middle for rotor wash.

Have everyone go up with lights off, then one at a time fly around a bit, then lights off and next person on (they're about .25 miles away,)

the average Jo will see a UFO disappearing from one place and reappearing somewhere else.

First, I want to apologize for the high price of night blades with pictures.

The production costs are really high and they are NOT made in China or Taiwan. There is really big problem to put very small and light electronics where is micro computer with big memory, leds, rpm sensor and battery to carbon fiber material which is conductive and can make short circuit. We didn't want to go with glass fiber because we wanted to have blades able fly full 3D maneuvers. Rotating blades are in extreme conditions where are very high forces and vibrations and these blades must handle this condition all the time.
Compared to bike this system is rotating 30-40 times per second. I case that we have 64led and one revolution draw 512 lines, the picture size is 64x512 = 4kBytes, at 2100rpm there is high data stream around 1Mb/s
This is system is very easy to use and you don't need rebuild your heli. Really ridiculous is that you don't need another LEDs on your heli when you want to fly at night.
In that high price is also stuff for programming and charging blades, nice box and great support from us
