Just a short video of my very first inverted autorotation by night (at 1:52). I was pretty nervous watching in HD and fullscreen seems to be the best. only normal flying, nothing special!

Here's my budget attempt on a night rig


It's a 370 sized Esky FP. Just had my first flight in the (almost) dark, just some hovering, which is difficult enough as it is.

Having separate colors on the left and right does help a lot by the way. But it really needs some night blades...

I've got my 520 night blades done, just needing a test flight.

Considering this is a pitch black room, I may have overdone it on the white. Should make landing easy.

The white LED's on the bottom of the blades are one of the best ideas I've ever encountered by any standards. I've got mine set up the same way and it makes landings a breeze.

The canopy and tail fin are powered by their own 1S lipos so they can be easily changed back and forth between my 550 helis.

With the brightness of my main blades I have decided to just order up some glow in the dark decal to wrap the booms. I may also wind up using it to partially wrap the canopy.
