The LEDs (more precisely, that piece that actually shines) does not care at all about voltage as long as it's more than the forward bias voltage. They only care about the current. You connect them in series with a resistor to get the right current. A LED with 3 volt bias voltage will get its 20 mA operating current from a 3S battery with a 400 ohm resistor. If you use 6S you'll need 1 kohm.Thanks Des, everything straight from 6S. If you plan to use LED´s for night flying you´ll need a BEC to power them o a separate 3S lipo.
Use left-threaded nuts of the CW motors.I tried to ditch the cover and use a prop washer and a 5mm nut, but they will only screw to the CCW motors, since the shafts are made for self tightening props.

I did not write anything about no props. Anyhow, I understand that it is dissapointing that the carbon fibre propellers did not match your expectations. As a comfort I think that even if they are not more efficient, they should still be more durable.Hi eskil,
I thought the carbon fibre might have been better. What a pity, but thanks for the heads up.
Sorry eskil,
I got mixed up. I was replying to a post from AEA737. Whoops. He tried the CF as replacements for the standard DJI ones and didn't like them.
The carbon fibre on my quad were, from memory, about 60% of the weight of the plastic. Mainly though they were much better balanced and reduced vibration a lot.
Sorry for the mix up.
cheers
