Pilot RC scale light system — for a 3.0 m (1/5) F-16 scale jet

Tagline: Real jet looks, scale realism— lighting tuned for a 3m 1/5 F-16 scale model.

 

• Scale-accurate light placement and color palette (white landing, amber taxi, red & green nav, rotating/strobe beacon).

• High output landing/taxi LED clusters with beam optics for realistic runway illumination.

• Programmable effects — slow/fast beacons, strobe, formation patterns, afterburner pulsing.

• Multiple control paths — standalone sequencer, AUX channel (PWM/PPM/S.BUS), or FC/GPU integration.
  
   

  1- Introduction:

  NAVIGATION LIGHT CONTROLLER Controller

  Thank you for choosing the Pilot-Rc LED Navigation Light Controller.  Designed to operate as easily as possible for simple lighting installations in your model aircraft.  This particular unit is able to control lights either in a solid state, flashing, strobe and even afterburner rings.

  SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES:

• Operating voltage: 7.4v – 8.4v (Direct from 2s Lipo battery)
• Low voltage cut off: Solid lights and afterburner auto off if battery drops below 7.2v. Complete auto off if battery then drops below 7.0v
• Controls solid lights, flashing lights, strobe lights and two afterburners
• Can be controlled from receiver or on board button
• Second receiver channel for throttle to control afterburner

• Included hardware:

• One Navigation Light Controller
• Do not exceed the maximum voltage of 8.4v or equivalent 2s Lipo

•  

  2- Installation and setup

  INITIAL INSTALLATION AND SETUP:

• Setup two channels on your radio with the desired switches/sliders to control each channel (one for lights and one for the afterburner/throttle if used)
• Set both channels end point travels to -100%  and +100%
• Use from the Navigation Light Controller the two leads for Radio inputs for Lights and Throttle, and connect to the corresponding receiver channels set up in step 1.
• Connect the LED to the Navigation Light Controllers corresponding outputs, selecting which lights should be on permanently, which flash, strobe or the afterburner.

• SEQUENCES:

  A total of three separate sequences are available for the main lights, with the Afterburner being always linked to the throttle position.

  MODE A:
  When power is provided to the unit, this is the default mode.  Power is provided to all LED.  So the “No Flash” (solid light) is on, Strobe is On, Flash is On

  MODE B:
  When the switch button is pressed, or signal is changed from the radio channel, mode B is activated.  In this mode, the “No Flash” (solid light) is turned Off, Strobe is On, Flash is On.

  MODE C:
  If the switch button is pressed again, or signal is changed again from the radio channel, mode C is activated. In this mode, everything is Off.
