(RD26) RD26 aka "Spear" Lights up!

In this build session I added a lighting system to the quad, I started by cutting two strips of white lights for the front view, and one long red strip for the rear view, on the right of the craft a blue strip and on the left, yellow. Into this lighting system, I included a receiver controlled switch, so you can turn the lights on and off. Lastly, I added a lost model alarm to the circuit, so if the quad crashes and looses connection with the radio, it will beep until the battery dies.

I start by measuring everything and soldering it all up. Here it is all laid out.
