With our new night flight blades a simple, indirect illumination of almost all larger models up to 3m span is suitable. The delicate but very robust CFRP tube construction provides enormous light output at low weight without affecting the flight characteristics.
When delivered, the tubes and plates are only pre-assembled and can still be shortened and aligned on the model. This ensures optimum illumination. Only then are the arms finally fixed with a few drops of epoxy. An asymmetrical mounting is also possible (short arm near the floor).

Installation and operation
First glue the enclosed small contact plate firmly into the wingtips, sides or also at the elevator, preferably with good epoxy and pins. Make sure that the writing on the contact plates is legible so that the polarity is correct. In top view, the right is always a plus.
The connection cable is routed centrally to the fuselage within the surface. All Night-Blades can simply be operated in parallel on a 2S LiPo battery, or also on any uniLIGHT lighting control system. Pay attention to the excessive current load and sufficient battery capacity, switching off during deep discharge at night could be fatal!
For commissioning, simply place the Night-Blade with the two screws on the mounting plate and tighten, the electrical contact is made automatically. Make sure that the labels are always legibly oriented.
With the L and XL systems, the light panels must be aligned once on the model during initial assembly and fixed with a little epoxy.
Then reflector surfaces are bent once so that the largest possible part of the light emission is directed onto the model. ATTENTION: the reflector surfaces harden and can only be bent a few times. Fix the glued surface before you align the surfaces by hand or a small pair of pliers to prevent the glued area from breaking open.
After the flight the Night-Blades can easily be unscrewed and transported. No trace of the night flight system remains.
