Wanted to Buy: 980nm IR laser - 150+ mW Laser can be nearly any size or configuration, preferably 150mW+ (the higher the better), and preferably heat-sinked to operate at 100% duty cycle, although I can add this myself if necessary. IR at 980nm. Please PM me.

Thanks Apex. That sucks but thanks.

Yob, are you back from break?

I was looking into the V200D at one time mainly because it was FBL, it's looks like a great stable little FP heli, only problem is it's always windy here in FL and I like to fly outdoors. So I've pretty much moved away from FPs except for indoor flying. Have you looked into the 4F200? It's CP...

Nice build, I'm impressed. Really nice modular layout. Do you have any flight vids? I did a + configuration build last year using a MK ME control board (ATMEGA644). Custom aluminum (square) frame, Turnigy 2213/22 motors, Turnigy 25A BSCs (larger heat sinks), Futaba R617FS FASST Rx, I2C PDB...

....just to let everyone know, 9 months later Yob's laser is still burning away as powerfully as ever.

Lol, man I am definitely addictive to helicopters. Love flying them! For RCs started out with .30 and .60 nitros back in '91. Love the new electrics of today .... lot less messy, less stuff needed and easier to transport, and they've finally matched the power of the nitros. And yeah I agree with...

I like how you have your speed controllers set up, apparently heat shrunk and zipped to the arms. Is that a MK control board you're using?

Hey elite how long have you been flying RC helis?

Re: 1-1.2 watt 445nm lasers CHEAP $180 Yet another laser video.

Lol. Dude why does it seem like you're trying so hard to get away with not having to wear goggles? :thinking: Is your eyesight not important to you or something? Do you even have a pair of 532 goggles (I hope)? And it's very hard to burn properly if you can't look at what you're burning. It's...

Re: 1-1.2 watt 445nm lasers CHEAP $180 The beam is inherently rectangular, but at close ranges it can be focused to a fine needle point. There is only one main lobe, no nulls, and it's stable (TEM00). The horizontal and vertical order of the beam profile are solid. Whether it's a cylindrical...

Re: 1-1.2 watt 445nm lasers CHEAP $180 Look for the avatar with the tattoo and PM him.

Re: 1-1.2 watt 445nm lasers CHEAP $180 Don't blow this out of proportion. The laser does not get hot. After about a minute runtime it is good and warm to the touch. It won't seer your fingerprints off or anything like that. You just need to give it a minute to cool down. There are minor...

The short answer, yes. If you use this laser long enough, particularly burning things up close without the proper safety glasses, it can eventually harm your vision. If you shine the beam around indoors and it accidentally reflects off a mirror and into your eye (without the proper safety...
