flying or on how to fit what you have bought and if we can't give you
the solution there and then we will get back to you with the answer.
PRODUCTS
GLOW ROPE
The best way to fit glow rope onto your canopy is to use cable ties, drill
small equally spaced holes through your canopy along the line that you
want the glow rope to follow then run the cable ties through the holes
over the glow rope and back into the original hole fastening them as usual
on the inside of the canopy, a perfect job. If you don't want to drill
holes in your canopy then the best thing is to cyno (super glue) the rope,
it will not damage the rope at all.
GLOW STICKS
These attach to the skids and are held on by cable ties. If any of your
electrical equipment fails you will be glad that you have put these on.
We supply 2 sizes, the large 167mm to go on each skid and the smaller
37mm fit perfectly on the horizontal and vertical fins.
SPOTLIGHT
One of the problems with night flying is that when it comes to land it
is difficult to judge where the ground starts. The electronic switch that
acts as a servo enables you to switch the landing light on and off from
your transmitter. Plug the Y lead into channel 8 on your transmitter,
run one of the Y leads to the battery and the other to the Opto-Isolated
Switch, finally, by following the instructions, solder the spot light
(either the Ram or LED) to the places marked on the switch. The landing
light makes autos in the dark a lot less expensive lighting up the ground
before its too late.
AERO STROBES
One Aero Strobe attached to each side of your canopy can make your heli
easy to orientate at a distance. The magnetic ends of the strobes allow
them to be attached to the canopy but we prefer to drill a hole in either
side of the canopy just large enough to fit the strobe through then mix
up some 5 minute epoxy and glue each of them into the body. They can then
be screwed tight to turn them on or loosened to disengage the batteries
to turn them off.
GLOW SHEET
Glow sheet looks great fixed to either side of the canopy. You can cut
the design into the glow sheet with a knife but we don't recommend this,
if you want to create a professional job a better way to make your design
is to cut out a reverse mask out of black vinyl and overlay this onto
the glow sheet. The manufacturers don't recommend that you glue the glow
sheet onto the canopy as the all important backing may come away so what
we do is extend the black vinyl overlay and attach it to the canopy with
this. If you have painted your canopy black too the finished job will
look fantastic.
