Hello again!

The pictures and video below are from @James_Tidwell 's custom quadcopter. It was hard to determine which direction it was facing when the sky was overcast or sunset, so we decided to add some LEDs.

It has 1 strip of 12 WS2812B per leg, total of 48 pixels. There are 4 simple programs, they can be changed with a toggle flip on the controller. To keep direction consistent, the front strips always light red, the rear strips blue.
The patterns are:
static tips
fill from center to tips
inside to outside
front to back

Parts of the code (mainly nextPattern) were borrowed from DemoReel. Thank you @Mark_Kriegsman and @Daniel_Garcia for your work on this awesome library.

Looks like the Aeroquad Cyclone! The quadcopter I modeled my own first build after. Cool.
