On the Coby unit, all you have to do is remove the case, solder a wire connected to a small switch to the points in the
picture - that's it! To fit it in a small cockpit like the F-16, you have to place it at an angle, meaning you have to manipulate
the pictures at the same angle and also make them the right size for the MFD openings. The Coby units are larger that the
opening. Make sure you have the USB-port point downwards, as you will need to charge the battery through it. I will be
fitting a small external battery to mine.

Yes, this model is indeed flying, I have more than 100 flights on it, it's my all time favourite!!

It also has a nice afterburner system, video here:

As for the HUD - this is what I did, one small, bright green LED..

Hi Tor:

Should I understand that the Hud in the F-16 1/6 has all the symbols printed in the plastic plate so the bright green LED will illuminate them?

My 1/8 scale HUD is flat. So how can I project the HUD symbols to the plastic plate?

Maybe like Belas ideas of doing photo etched plates?
