I saw yours as I was researching runway lights. It's very nice. There are several options out there. Since the one I buy will be going in a 3 foot model, size isn't a real issue, however price was a factor. This was $9 and I can get 50 feet of .25mm fiber optic for $6. Since I'm pretty adept with a ...

Bakatronics-anyone use them?
I need a runway circuit for my Salzo Galactica landing bay. This do-it-yourself kit is only $9 and supports 10 LEDs. I don't need that many, but that's fine. Anyone have any experience with product or company?

Let me dig out the ebay seller for the Fusion Core board. I checked a while ago and he had nothing for sale at the time. I'll post his ebay user name and you can email him and see if he can make you one. The steady on lights are not connected to the FC Board. Those lights will bypass the board. I am...

I'm using magnet wire for the most part, especially on all the SMT LEDs for the lightbar. To control the flashing I am using a custom programmed Jupiter 2 Fusion Core board. The eBay seller programmed in several flash patterns at my request. He sold me the bare board, with no LEDs at a discount. All...

I am more inclined to think it's a bad/cold solder joint somewhere at or past switch two. The way they all flicker at the same rate when you jiggled the model, I have had this happen with bad joints. If it was the wrong resister you wouldn't get full power and then the dimming/flicker. Plus jigglein...

Lights for ST Voyager
A friend of mine put me in touch with a fellow modeler up in Canada. She was building a model of Voyager and wanted to add lights to it. I agreed to build her a light kit. Here is the result of that. Took longer than anticipated, due to real life, me getting sick, and blowing some cheap LEDs I had. ...

Here is a trick you can do with LEDs to keep the leads as short as possible. You need a good soldering iron to do this. Solder your wire to the leads as close to the base of the LED itself. Once cool, you can clip off the excess leads. You need to solder quick as your so close the diodes and they do...
