Installation of navigation lights and general checkup.
Replaced the Heli Jive ESC with a Kolibri HV-i , so i have telemetry readings on my TX.
Costum made taillight support. PCB board and copper tube soldering.
Some turning work on the lathe for the upper and lower light supports.
Alu sockets gives easy insert and replace, and additional cooling for the leds.
Additional carbon support plate for the unilight controller.
