Directions for the Venom Night Blade

In order to fly an R/C (radio-controlled) helicopter in the dark, it helps to light the blades powering the toy. Replace the blades of a series 400 R/C helicopter with the Venom night blades to illuminate it while flying. Venom night blades are available from the same hobby shop or store where the helicopter is available for purchase. A few tools standard for use on R/C helicopters will be needed.

Things You'll Need

Power supply
Allen wrench, medium-grade
Paper cup

  Plug the power cord from the power supply into the power port on the rotor blade. Plug the power supply into an outlet. Leave the blade alone for six hours to charge before unplugging the power supply from the blade and the outlet.
