Default RC Landing Lighting Installation Help

I ordered a RC Lander Lighting System B with After Burner. I found the instructions to be very vague and the diagrams were inconclusive.

I want to be able to turn on/off the aircraft light from a aux switch and have the after burner light stage up and down or just turn on when throttle is applied.

I am posting a diagram I created to see if I have it setup correctly. It is my hope that I can confirm/correct it and post it for others who may wish to refer to it.

I am using a Spektrum AR6200 Receiver and JR 9303 radio. I am using the gear channel for Eflite landing gear.[img][/img]

I would appreciate any help in confirming if my wiring is correct and I am also looking for some help in programming my radio to move the lights on/off to a Aux switch.

Thanks in advance for your consideration and help.

No not right.

You NEVER plug anything other than a specially made on board battery checker into a running LiPo pack's balance connector.

Never attempt to draw power that way! You'll blow your electronics!



The Battery connection on the LED controller can be connected to a separate battery pack or to your receiver's power source if you have the available extra "juice".

The "Y" from the throttle is correct for the afterburner.

The RX 1 connector can be hooked into any available channel as you have it, however it is better not to use an incrementally variable channel.

Instead set things up so that one you flip the AUX 1 switch, one way you get full TX "movement" ( all on ) and the other way all off.

If you are not using retracts, the GEAR channel is a much better choice for the lights.
