How's she holding up? Just got mine today- would like to add nav lights but don't want to start pulling internals apart.

[@krox83]

@@kylekranz38 pretty well, don't even have to pull any thing apart, just plug in to a spare channel.

Very fine ! is that easy to put in the helicopter ? Do you have the link to buy the kit please ? 😀

[@krox83]

very easy to install, drill the holes alittle smaller and use a lexan body reamer to make holes big enough for the light to fit. I set the module to the right of the mechanics.

sorry the link didn't work, just seach 'rc helicopter navigation lights' on Amazon, many brands but all the same thing. gotta love China manufacturing.

Looks great! How did you power them?

[@krox83]

I pulled power from the i-bus sens port on the receiver. hard to get to but easy before assembly.

[@krox83]

any free port will do, the receiver provides the appropriate voltage, lights same as a servo voltage.

[@dsbryant77]

Thanks so much! I was told not to power from the receiver, but I've done it in the past with RC cars @@krox83

@@krox83 So you can also turn the lighting on and off with a switch? And is the lighting still reasonably visible in daylight?

[@krox83]

@@vanderheijden1 during the day you can see them if they point right at you but not like evening bright. the lights don't work off a signal, but if you can power down the channel from the tx it will work.
