Navigation Lights - Funkey Airwolf

[Talisa]

I am about to embark on building my 600E Airwolf. Can someone please advise on a good set of nav lights I can use. I am looking for a rear white strobe, two red beacons, and red and green nav.

Also I would like to add three white LED lights on the undercarriage to act as search/landing lights as Airwolf has those although I would like these to be on a seperate circuit.

I have ordered a set from a company but two weeks later I still do not have them and I do not wish to have to retro fit them once the guts of the 600E have been fitted.

SO advice on what and where would be great. Thank you.

If most are on all the time, then it would be easy to knock up a unit, for the strobe light, I think you can get LED's that strobe on thier own without having extra circuitry etc.
So wouldnt need to have a board with a PIC chip or anything on etc.
(been a fair while since I last played with electronics, so cant rember tooo much lol.)

Are LHC the same company as TrexMad?

The only reason I ask is because I ordered my Airwolf fuselage from trexmad and when it arrived it had a LHC compliments slip in the box. I also ask because if they are the same company then I have been waiting for two weeks of promises that the lights I have ordered will arrive the next day and so on and so on. This is the reason why I am trying to find an alternate option/company so I can get on with my project.

These are the ones that seem to never appear;

Thanks Ron. Have had dialogue with RC Lighting today and they are providing me with two sets of lights.

One is the standard nav lights for the Bell 222

and they are making a custom set of 3 intense white landing lights for me that will hook into the landing gear activation running off the RX unit.

Great company, if there delivery is as good as their service and attention to detail then I will be very happy.

i just ordered on line and never actually spoke to anyone but their service was spot on. and the lights are really good quality, every joint etc covered with heat shrink. and all very neat.

Vic from rclighting has been very helpful to me today so thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Hi, I can vouch for rclighting and Vic. They made me a custom set of lights for my Hughes 500E, they can take a little while to deliver, but only if they don't have the kit in stock and have to make you one from scratch. As I said, mine was made from scratch so had a little bit of a wait, but not too excessive!

Vic/RCLighting have been awesome in dealing with my requests. I have thrown various non standard projects at them and they are delivering everytime so far. I am exceptionally happy with their performance!

I will certainly not be going anywhere else for electronics needs in the future as they seem to have the ability to pull off anything I ask them to do. I will post the results of the non standard projects on here when all is installed in my Baby (Airwolf).
