How Install LED Lights (Light Emitting Diodes) on the Inductrix 200 FPV Mini Quad Drone. Night flight video footage included.

So easy to install and what a difference in judging the orientation of the Inductrix 200. Before this modification line of sight flying was very difficult at a distance because of the all black body. Now with the LEDs the orientation is very clear to see and it's so much easier to fly. 
  The Inductrix 200 fitted with LEDs is now great for night flying as well. I wanted it to be as visible as the original tiny Inductrix but I think it's actually more visible than that with LEDs because of the larger size of the drone and greater brightness of the lights. 
  To install the LEDs just cut 4 strips of 6 LEDs (2 groups of 3) and stick the adhesive backing on the outer rims of the 4 blade guards.
Take the three screws loose on the bottom of the Inductrix 200 and lift off the top cover. There you will find the solder points for the 12 volt battery connector on one corner of the flight controller board. Solder two wires for LEDs there and daisy chain each strip to the next one to power the 12 volt LEDs.  I put two green strips in the front and two red strips in the rear and it looks great.
  So if you are going to try this or have done it already post under the video on YouTube and let me know what you think. Of course questions are always welcome too and don't forget to give me a thumbs up if you like it or down if you don't.

The LED strips from HobbyKing would work well but
I used these:
