Congratulations on your purchase

of the new revolutionary Night Flight

Module (NFM). This module allows

you the opportunity to ﬂy your X-Port

™

equipped HobbyZone

or ParkZone

™

airplane at night by using super bright

LEDs to reﬂect off the white wing,

tail and fuselage. The NFM allows

you to choose between several light

options, and even change from one

to another during the ﬂight.

Prior to taking to the skies in the

dark of night, please read these

instructions carefully.

The NFM is recommended only for

advanced pilots. Flying at night without

view of the entire plane is much more

difﬁcult than ﬂying in the daytime, so be

cautious. Please follow these guide-

lines in order to allow the most success.

Night Flight Module

Operating

Instructions

Before Flying

• Always choose a wide-open space

for ﬂying. Make sure the area is free

of buildings, trees, cars and any

other obstacle that could block

your view or be hit by the plane.

• If you are inexperienced at ﬂying with

reduced visibility, have an experienced

night ﬂyer help you.

• Never ﬂy near people.

• Do not attempt to ﬂy beyond

your capabilities.

• Prior to taking to the air in the dark,

make certain the NFM is functioning

correctly, and that you have a clear

perspective of the aircraft while it is

on the ground.

• You should test-ﬂy the module and

make trim adjustments to your aircraft

during the day, before ﬂying at night.

Trim the aircraft for slow, steady ﬂying.

Before Flying, continued

• Many people initially ﬁnd it easier

to ﬂy somewhat overhead, so they

can see more of the wing. In the

daylight, practice launching the plane,

then circling back overhead so you

have the ‘feel’ for this maneuver.

Flying Tips

• Fly around slowly and familiarize

yourself with the NFM before trying

any aerobatics or other maneuvers

that could place you, others, your

aircraft, or property at risk.

• It is easier to see and make use of the

super bright LEDs when it is com-

pletely dark. The LEDs on the NFM

will not be as useful when it is dusk.

• You should night ﬂy only in calm

winds. Wind makes night ﬂying much

more difﬁcult.
