Installing the Flight Battery 1 2 3 1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. 2. Power ON the transmitter. 3. Center all trims. For the included Spektrum DXe transmitter (RTF only), the trims are centered when you hear a higher pitched beep while pressing the trim button. Move the trim in both directions until you hear the high-pitched beep. 4. Attach the hook material to the helicopter frame and the loop material to the flight battery. 5. Install the flight battery on the helicopter frame.
RTF Your RTF transmitter comes prebound to the model. If you need to re-bind, follow the directions below. DXe Binding Procedure 1. Disconnect the flight battery from the helicopter. 2. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. Set all trims to the center position. 3. Power off the transmitter. 4. Install the bind plug in the receiver BIND/PROG port (far left side of the receiver). 5. Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The receiver LED flashes, indicating it is in bind mode. 6.
Throttle Hold Throttle hold is used to prevent the motor from powering on inadvertently. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time you need to touch the helicopter or check the direction controls. Throttle hold is also used to turn off the motor quickly if the helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing, or both. The blades will continue to spin briefly when throttle hold is activated. Control Tests Ensure the throttle hold is ON when doing the direction control tests.
Understanding the Primary Flight Controls If you are not familiar with the controls of your aircraft, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.
Flying the 230 S V2 Consult your local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft. We recommend flying your aircraft outside in calm winds or inside a large gymnasium. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fields. It is best to fly from a smooth flat surface as this will allow the model to slide without tipping over.
Advanced Settings The 230 S V2 default settings are appropriate for most users. We recommend flying with the default parameters before making any adjustments. WARNING: To ensure your safety, always disconnect the motor wires from the ESC before performing the following steps. After you have completed the adjustments, reconnect the motor wires to the ESC before attempting to fly the model.
Advanced Settings Gain Parameters 1. Cyclic P Gain Adjustment (Default 100%) 5. Tailrotor P Gain Adjustment (Default 100%) Higher gain will result in greater stability. Setting the gain too high may result in random twitches if your model has an excessive level of vibration. High frequency oscillations may also occur if the gain is set too high. Lower gain may result in a decrease in stability. Too low of a value may result in a less stable model particularly outdoors in winds.
Advanced Settings Adjusting the Gain Values If you are using a Spektrum™ telemetry-enabled transmitter, the gain adjustments can be viewed on the Flight Log screen. Refer to your transmitter instructions to locate this screen. The gain parameter currently selected will flash on the transmitter screen. If you are not using a Spektrum telemetry-enabled transmitter, the parameter and gain values are indicated by the position of the swashplate on the helicopter.
Servo Adjustment Your helicopter was setup at the factory and test flown. The servo adjustment steps are only necessary in special circumstances, such as after a crash or if a servo or linkage is replaced. WARNING: To ensure your safety, always disconnect the motor wires from the ESC before performing the following steps. After you have completed the adjustments, reconnect the motor wires to the ESC before attempting to fly the model. Entering Servo Adjustment Mode 1.
Trim Flight Perform this procedure if the model is not performing well or has been recently rebuilt from a crash. The trim flight procedure was performed during the factory test flight and only needs to be performed if you notice the model is not returning to level consistently or if the model does not remain still during stationary pirouettes. The trim flight is used to determine the optimal settings for SAFE® technology during flight. The trim flight must be performed in calm conditions.
Calibration Procedure If the Blade 230 S V2 is experiencing drift issues after completing the trim flight procedure located at www.bladehelis.com, perform the following calibration. The calibration procedure may also be needed following crash repairs. WARNING: Before beginning the calibration procedure, disconnect the main motor and tail motor leads to prevent accidental motor startup during calibration. To perform the calibration procedure: 1. Ensure the surface used for calibration is level. 2.
Post-Flight Inspection and Maintenance Checklist √ Make sure the plastic ball link holds the control ball, but is not tight (binding) on the ball. When a link is too loose on the ball, it can separate from the ball during flight and cause a crash. Replace worn ball links before they fail. Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or Cleaning a dry, lint-free cloth.
Problem Possible Cause Solution The bind plug was not removed from the receiver after binding Less than a 5-second wait between first powering on the transmitter and connecting the LED on the receiver flashes flight battery to the helicopter rapidly and the helicopter The helicopter is bound to a will not respond to the different model memory transmitter (after binding) (ModelMatch™ transmitters only) Flight battery or transmitter battery charge is too low Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal
