  • Powering glow wire for night flying

    Hi all, I've been looking into night flying lights and found an online shop selling glow wire and drivers but I'm insure of what voltage driver I need, I want to run it off the rx pack (2s lipo)
    I've found these but unsure if it would work or if I would need 6v or 9v

    Or is there a much easier way or going about this (without buying the align stuff)
    (I just want lights) lol

    thanks all Adamf

              Right so it looks like 3s on 12v driver is the way to go

                Adam. My driver is just a Blue cube. Can't even think where I got them. Maybe hk? Sorry I can't help.
