Instruction manual

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.

With these beginning diagrams, you can see that the orientation of the plane is easily

discerned from the light patterns. For your first night flight, memorize which lights are

where and start by flying easy level laps around your flying area. This will give you the

necessary experience with decoding the plane orientation from just the light patterns.

Experienced night pilots can also perform advanced night flying, such as loops, inverted

flight, stalls, etc. by utilizing the light patterns. You will find in no time that night flying

is not only fun but very easy with the light kit!

BATTERY CONSIDERATIONS

With the stock 7-cell NiMh battery pack, the light module will not be as bright as

possible. Plus night flying on this battery can be tenuous as you don’t have extra thrust

needed to compensate for flying at night. We recommend for night flying that you step

up to a 8-cell NiMh pack or better yet a 9-cell NiMh pack. The 8-cell pack will fit in the

stock battery box with no additional modifications. The 9-cell pack will fit with some

minor mods, basically cutting the plastic rail on back of the battery box and cutting away

some of the foam so the 9

cell will fit through the battery box. The mods take no more

than 5 minutes to do. You can get these type of NiMh battery packs (with the stock mini-

tamiya plug already installed) from places online like www.all-battery.com and

www.batteryspace.com.

Furthermore, if you want the best power you can step up to a 3S 11.1V li-poly pack with

the SC. A 1300mAH 3S pack will fit in the battery box as well. With this setup, make

sure you change the jumper on the stock receiver to switch the cutoff voltage so that is

compatible with li-po packs. The SC instruction manual goes over how to do this.

As always, test out your lights and plane before doing a night flight. Check full throttle

to make sure the lights stay on. If they dim that is ok, but if the wingtips begin to go off

then the battery does not have enough voltage (the wing LEDs will go off if the battery

voltage goes below 6V). When using a li-po battery pack, beware you will not have any

dimming of the LEDs, so it will be hard to tell when your pack is getting low. Li-po

packs hold their voltage curve very well. So the lights will look bright throughout your

Direction of flight
