NOTICE: There is no warranty on kits. It is your responsibility to install the board and lights. Kits cannot be returned. This kit can
consume a lot of current. Be careful if you plan to use a battery source that is capable of delivering a lot of current. Contact a
professional if you need assistance. Hyperdyne Labs assumes no responsibility for the misuse of this kit. Night flying can be
dangerous. User accepts all liability of using this kit in their plane and the responsibility of flying at night.

By default, the lights are off when the board is first powered on. In this mode, the lights
will go through a power on verification a couple seconds after the battery is connected.
Each light will blink to let you know that it is working ok. Each time you connect a
battery to the SC, you will only see this verification step if the “off mode” is selected.
Changing light modes using X-port:
To change light modes, simply press the X-port button down until you see the X-port
activity LED illuminate. Once it does you can let go of the X-port button. The kit will
cycle to the next LED mode (which is taxi mode if you were in off mode).
After 1 sec you will also see that the activity LED will blink the number of times equal to
how many presses you have done (you can actually key in several button presses to get to
other light modes quickly). After the last mode (Extended flight mode) is entered, the
next button press will cycle back to the beginning of the list (off mode).
For advanced setup, let’s say you are in the taxi light mode. If you wish to go to the off
mode immediately, you can press the x-port button 3 times in succession. About 1 sec
after the last button press and release, the x-port activity LED will respond with 3 blinks
and the lights will go off. Now you are in the off mode. So you can key in as many
button presses to get to the light mode you need without having to single step through
each one.
Glitch mitigation:
The light mode is also stored in the chip so when you change batteries, have a battery
glitch, or power is somehow removed – the light mode comes back to the saved setting
automatically. This allows you to make sure your plane stays lit in flight!
Failsafe mode:
For the Super Cub stock radio equipment, there is also a failsafe mode if the transmitter is
shut off or interfered. The kit will begin to blink all the lights on the plane when this
occurs. If you lose your plane and have to find it, this mode will allow you to find it after
some time. After 5 minutes of lost signal, the blinking rate becomes very long so to
conserve battery life in order to maximize the success of your rescue effort!
Locking in the light mode, using other X-port devices:
You can also “lock in” the light mode so subsequent button presses do not switch light
modes. If you are using another x-port device, this allows you to lock in the light mode
so they don’t react to the button presses meant for the other x-port device.
