For assembly, you will need modelling adhesive. This is not included in delivery.
When drilling, ensure no other components can be damaged. If in doubt, disassemble fragile
components first, before starting to drill holes into the housing.
If you use the extension cables, hold the socket and plug in separate hands. Press the plug down,
so that the safety pins disengage, before removing the plug from the socket.
Position the individual LEDs in your model airplane or model helicopter exactly as illustrated in the
1.
diagram.

Note the operating instructions of your receiver and your remote control regarding proper
configuration.
The lighting system features three switchable modes.
>
It automatically detects the signal type (analogue or digital) and the switch type.
>
It can be operated by a switch with three positions, or by a switch with two positions, as required. When
>
operating it using a switch with two positions, only two modes are selectable.
Mode 0: Off mode, all LEDs off
Mode 1: Flying mode, signal lighting on, landing light off
Mode 2: Landing mode, all lights on
