CX2 lights - ?

[RotaryOne]

Lights (port, starboard and nose) are advertised for the CX-2 at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=011

I am not really one for bolt-ons but thought these might be quite good to add and almost provide a bit of realism to the machine.

Does anyone have any comments on a) whether these are worthwhile and b) whether they are an advisable addition to the CX-2 (for example extra weight)?

Thanks in advance for any comments.

I had them on my twister hawk and have put them on my notar I built using the hawk mechanics. Their great and no difference in flying time. Easy enough to make, I made mine to have a flashing red light on the rear, bought from maplins. It runs direct from the battery, upto 5 - 12 v I think, the "search lights" need a dropper resistor about 270 ohms.

Thanks, Dave. Much appreciated.
