Hello guys,
Theres nothing more fun than a good useful mod! and i found this mod useful if you fly in the sun and can barely see your Xicoy GSU lettering.
This mod adds a very strong back light to the Xicoy GSU, and can be done both for V6 GSU and V10 GSU. these GSUs are very common among several jet engine manufacturers.
To do this mod you will need:
- a 16x2 generic LCD (yellow, blue, red) - cost is 1.7$ or so, such as:

- a small 5k pot
- some wiring
- a soldering iron
- basic soldering skills
Lets get to it !
