the planes with the l.e.d.s are i have no planes for themi have all kinds or lights switches and other watchamadinkies that i will never use in anything but i have them just in case

Looks really cool, tell us how it works later.

as of right now i can get it to blink a few colors but it needs a bored and power sources to make it work right

i think i know how they work! the middle lead is always used and depending on which color you want you apply voltage to either of the other ends, it is a light emitting diode (led)...keep in mind its a diode so the battery has to be connected with the correct polarities, fromt his pic i cannot ell whi is which...what colors does it blink?

it blinks several colors at a time to make the seven colors but all it has is red, blue, and green but i cant tell you the colors it blinks. (kinda hard to see after i look at it)
