OK.. well here's a schematic that i came up with last night..

When the RF is up the tiltswitch should be mounted so that it is in the OFF position. This will make the green LED light up since there is no where else for the current to go.
When the RF goes down the tilt goes to ON position and current goes to the Red LED's

The blinking LEDs that i have are 5V ( V = for VOLTS ) LED's and when i tried two of them out on a 1,5 V battery the blinked alternately for 1 sec each. But using 1,5 V barely makes them visible in daylight. Using a more powerful battery will surely make the LED brighter but they might also blink faster.

The resitor between the green led and the Transitor has to be powerful enough to prevent the green LED from lightening when the RF is in the down position. Electrons choose the path of least resistance..!!

PLEAE NOTE! I'm an amature... at best when it comes to electronics. I'd run this schematic by BobaBabe as well and have her boyfriend (if i remmber correctly) take a look as well. (or anybody else who knows electronics...) [ATTACH=full]94410[/ATTACH]
