Description:
This Radio Controlled airplane is a scratch built 1936 Lanzo Record Breaker with an eight foot wing span. It is about 12 years old & has seen many configurations from gas powered tow plane, camera ship, autonomous test platform, to video transmitting search plane. In its current configuration, it is a Night Nite flying rc airplane with 30 meters of LED lights.(I know I said 6 meter in the video, but I was nervous) Thats a total of one thousand eight hundred individual led lights The motor is a Hacker B-50 L-13 with gearbox, prop is 20X10, thats a 20 inch diameter, with a Castle Creations 80 AMP speed control and a six cell 5000 Mah Thunder Power Extreme V2 li-po motor battery. The LED are powered by three separate 3 cell 2100 Mah li-po batteries. The ship was flown at the SCCMAS facility in Morgan Hill, California by Walter Colby. Don't complain about the camera work I found the camera guy in the home depot parking lot. wcolby HD www.sccmas.orgThe LEDs draw approximately 1.2 amps for every 5 meters at 11.1Volts.I have 5 meters of red & 5 meters of green in the wing run by a single 2100 Mah 3 cell lithium polymer battery.I have 5 meters of blue on the tail & 5 meters of white on the sides of the fuselage run by another 2100 Mah 3 cell lithium polymer battery pack. And finally there is 10 meters of white LED on the bottom of the fuselage run by a third 2100 Mah 3 cell lithium polymer battery.I am not an electrician but the lights run for about 50 minutes, the part I appreciate is that when one battery dies the others continue to operate.The airplane motor & servo control is powered by a 6 cell 5000 mah battery that should fly the plane for about 45 minutes.This was the first flight for this configuration so the flight was made after sunset,.this aircraft is a night flyer but no claim is made that it is flying in the dark. granted it is not pitch black sky , that is not my fault, if you feel cheated, that's not my fault either.

Jul 5, 2011 - Would like to see you take it up to altitude max during pitch black conditions, zooming in and out. Too many UFO videos out there on YouTube that are clearly LED funcraft.

Oct 7, 2011 - From seeing these couple of LED Lights videos, I feel that we oughtta limit the amount of light we put on the plane, cause after it is some distance away, lights start to mix up with each other. If not limit, there should be good physical separation between colors.

Jan 2, 2012 - why are the wings bent up like that? :-I
wcolbyHD Says:
Jan 2, 2012 - the wing tilt is called dihedral, it helps balance the plane.The tips while slanted are less efficient. If the airplane starts a roll to the right, the right wing tip becomes more efficient and pushes the aircraft back to the left.

Feb 28, 2012 - I have a small ranch here in Florida. My neighbor swears that she has seen unexplained lights over the orange groves behind her house. No...she doesn't drink. I think I will do this to one of my rc planes and drive her crazy! :)

Apr 5, 2012 - You in my opinion went that extra mile to explain & discribe every thing any one could ask. Well almost LOL - what effect did the added weight from the extra batteries have on the speed & handling if any? Plus we're the lights flush mounted if not was there much drag that may effected the flying also? Nice camera job - and nice video - one of the best discribed ones I have seen. Cheers

Apr 6, 2012 - On the wing the lights are under the covering, they are adhered to the wood ribs. The lights on the fuselage & tail are stuck right on to the covering. The aircraft now has to fly a little faster, but the Lanzo design was for heavy lift capability, so it doesn't mind too much.
