    Addiction XL Build??

    Ya, I'm not sure what all was changed except the motor and light setup. But I'm very happy!! Though I do wish the wing screws were easier to install.

    Put 3 flights on it yesterday! It flys better than the X in my opinion. At least I had an easier time doing all the maneuvers I like to do!! It's a keeper for sure. :banana-dance:

    Need help with Yak build

    Two switches are not necessary, but I always put a switch in-between the battery and opto kill switch, as well as a switch between the battery and receiver. But I also prefer the Smart Fly kill switch, with external LED. No confusion on condition of kill switch!

    Thanks Mikey :) They are bright! I like night flying so this will fit the bill well. In the summer, and in my flying circle, it's hard to find people that will stay up late enough to night fly with! :nightmare:
