LED Identification

The Night Vapor is equipped with six LED lights. Below is a description of what each individual light 

looks like.

 There are 3 LED lights on the leading edge of the wing. These lights are a bright white color and 

• 

remain solid.
 There are 2 LED lights on the trailing edge of the wing. The light on the right side of the wing (looking 

• 

from the front) will blink red, and the one on the left (looking from the front) will blink green.
 There is 1 LED light located near the tail of the aircraft. This light blinks blue.

Control Test

You must test the controls prior to the first flight to ensure none of the servos, linkages, or parts were 

damaged during shipping and handling and that the controls function in the correct directions.
Turn the transmitter on first and lower the throttle stick and trim completely. Then, plug the battery into the 

battery receiver unit.

Note:  The connectors on the battery lead are keyed to prevent reverse polarity connection. However, if 

you force them together in the wrong orientation and with the wrong polarity it is still possible to 

damage the battery and/or receiver unit.

Move the elevator stick on the transmitter forward and back to check elevator pitch control. When the stick 

is pushed forward the elevator should move down.

When the elevator stick is pulled back, the elevator should move up.
