Install Blade Cx3 Lights

The CX3 Blade is a small remote controlled helicopter designed by the E-flite company. To add realism, you can install small LED lights on your CX3 Blade helicopter. LED lights can also allow you to better see your helicopter when flying at night. Installing LED lights will require the CX3 light kit. You can purchase the CX3 light kit on the E-flite website or at a local hobby shop.


Instructions


1. Use your finger to open the port that allows you access the fuselage. There is a small notch on the back of the CX3 that allows access to the inside of the RC helicopter.


2. Glue the small circuit board between and underneath the two side window openings. Weight balance is important in RC helicopters. Mounting the board in the middle of the fuselage will help maintain the helicopter's center of gravity.


3. Mount and install the lights using the glue to hold them into place. Use needle-nose pliers to mount two LEDs in the nose of the helicopter.








4. Use tape to secure all wires inside the CX3 Blade. Loose wires can offset the CX3's center of balance mid-flight so make sure they are all secure.


5. Replace the fuselage door on the back of the helicopter.
