By the time your add an RC receiver controlled on/off switch..... see below, you might not need as long a set of wire leads at least for the landing lights.

And for those that want to save another 50 cents and/or shipping costs and love the smell of melting/vaporizing lead..... you can use one of these....

They come with all the controllers built in, and already work np as a switch.

Thinking it may have been a better idea to go the LED strip route, as I don't see an easy way to attach these, unless someone here knows of a good way.
I always seem to buy first, think later...its an expensive way to do things, but Im learning..be it the hard way.

Hmm that may be a good option, although I seem to have much bigger lights than you as mine are all the same size, as the landing light and would never fit their.
I take my legs off every day though, and disconnecting stuff each time might be a bit of a pain.
Do you have yours connected into a Rx switch is on your landing legs, used for your camera setup or something?

Where is the receiver that you plug the braincube into?

sorry for the late reply Quinton. I plug the Braincube controller into my flight receiver which is under the dome. Here's a video of my lights and tx set up

Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.
Your red/green lights are indeed much thinner than mine, but your landing light seems to be bigger, I take it you just opened the holes a bit more for them to fit through easily.
Love the Jeti Tx, If I was starting again it would prob me my choice as I think telemetry is really important.

Yes I have the flight lights v5.0 standard set of lights http://braincube-aero.com/ they were the only ones they had when I ordered mine. Yes i opened the holes in the legs a bit and added a washer, the lens cap fits nice and the balsa housing is superglued to the inside of the legs.
The Jeti DS16 is without a doubt an awesome transmitter and imo worth every penny, it was actually snowing on my home screen the other day
