Blades, Night Flying and Painting > Redundancy on glowire drivers?

I have the glowire mounted on my Knight Sport 50 and I'm wondering if I should use dual drivers for the two strands or just use one driver and hope it doesn't fail. Using one is lighter and less wires running around but no redundancy. What are most people doing these days?
No problems with Glowire and Spektrum is there?


Thanks, Matt


Stupid people have no idea how stupid they are!!!

Alot of us use two drivers because #1 its easier to mount one on the inside of the canopy to take it on and off. #2 redundancy. #3 the strings are brighter if you use only one driver per string. (Try it, plug two strings into one driver in a dark room then unplug one of the strings, the other will get brighter.

1 Or 2 drivers?
I have 4 Glowire drivers powered from 2 batteries on my 50 night ship.
2 drivers 20 feet of wire and one bat on the canopy, and 2 drivers, 20 feet of wire and one bat on the heli.

I have a total of 13 circuits of lighting on the heli.

You can not have to much visibility or redundancy on a night ship.
I have often had one of the 13 batteries die in the air and barely noticed it while flying.
