Does anyone know any LPR or MPR that are equiped to fly at night in stock condition? Thanks 
For our last night launch I went to the dollar store and picked up a led lighted necklace and wraped it around a Estes Blue ninja and used some black tape to tape it on. was well light up and could see very well. after the launch was over i removed the lights and was back to stock![]()
They sure are; the designs that people come up with just blow me away.oh wow these designs are really cool![]()
THANK YOU.
Where'd you get your strobe?? I'm looking for one for my top secret project...I second this. I took an LED necklace purchased on eBay and wrapped around a Public Enemy Fat Boy (screwed in with plastic wiring clamp) and added a strobe under the parachute. This worked great for the MWP7 night launch.
Sounds like a great idea... got a link??THANK YOU.
I would have never known of that mosquito.
thank you...thank you.
i'll have to get one.
i'm a mosquito nut.
To answer the question...
There are obviously a few kits that have lights on them. However, LED's are not too hard to wire up.
Also, there is this "light tube" that my local hobbytown sells for use on model planes, why not rockets?
you get a few feet for like $11.95 and it runs on button cells batteries I believe.

Not sure if you have ever heard of daft punk, but they use the same lighting on their suits.Sounds like a great idea... got a link??
Later! OL JR![]()
Light sticks are WEAK!!! One of our guys lost his Blue Ninja that had a half dozen light sticks taped all along it on the outside of the rocket.I got a Quest Magnum a few weeks ago that, for some reason, came with a clear nose cone/transition for its payload section. I don't know how many were made like that, but if you get one, just build it stock, then drop a cracked light stick into it!
You can get pen size laser pointers in red, green and blue but I'm not sure the light is intense enough to see at a distance and you would likely have to rig up a way to make sure the laser pointer landed pointing straight up if you hope to recover your rocket.I WONDER IF ANYONE SELLS LASERS.......
You can get EL tape in different sizes that is easier to see due to the surface area. Here's a link for an example:Not sure if you have ever heard of daft punk, but they use the same lighting on their suits.
The stuff is called EL wire, the packets at HT are 4 feet i think, i didn't realize their was a cheaper way to buy it Here.
Not badly priced, and it is VERY bright.
