Introduction As you are about to see, the Blade mCP X truly is an ultra micro heli experience unlike any other. Its advanced flybarless design reduces drag on the rotorhead and significantly boosts cyclic control response. This, combined with its exceptionally lightweight airframe, delivers a level of power and responsiveness that eclipses that of any ultra micro heli you have flown before.
Battery Warnings and Guidelines 120F/49C Always use a charger compatible with batteries. Always charge Batteries away from flammable materials. Never leave charging Batteries unattended. Never charge damaged Batteries. Never Alter Batteries. Never touch or use hot Batteries. The Battery Charger (EFLC1006) included with the Blade mCP X has been designed to safely charge the Li-Po battery. CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly.
Battery Charging Celectra™ 1-Cell 3.7V Variable Rate DC Li-Po Charger Instructions 1. Connect power supply to an appropriate power source. 2. Insert output plug from power supply into the power input slot of the Variable Rate Charger. 3. Select the appropriate charge current for your battery by pushing the + or -, which are the smaller buttons to the right and left of the middle button. (When charging your 200mAh battery, set the charger to 0.7 amps.) 4. Connect the charge adapter to the Charger lead.
® Programming Your Transmitter (Computer Transmitters Only) Program your transmitter before attempting to bind or fly the helicopter. If the throttle and pitch programming values are incorrect, the helicopter will not respond. Transmitter programming values are shown below for the Spektrum DX6i, DX7 and DX8. The Spektrum DX8 model file is also available for download online at the Spektrum DX8 Community.
® Transmitter and Receiver Binding If you purchased an RTF model, the transmitter is bound to the model at the factory. To bind or re-bind your mCP X to your chosen transmitter, please follow the directions below: Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ or JR® DSM® technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
Understanding the Primary Flight Controls If you are not familiar with the controls of your mCP X, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.
Throttle Hold Throttle hold is used to turn off the helicopter motors if the helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing or both. Activate throttle hold anytime the helicopter is in danger of crashing to reduce the chance of damaging the helicopter in a crash. Throttle hold will stop the motor in normal or stunt mode. Throttle Hold ON (DX4e) Press the trainer button anytime to turn throttle hold ON after connecting the battery to the helicopter. The blue LED flashes, indicating throttle hold is ON.
Installing the Flight Battery 1. Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings. 2. Power on transmitter. 3. Install flight battery in the battery holder. Connect the battery cable to the 3-in-1 control unit. NOTICE: Do not allow the helicopter to move until the blue LED on the 3-in-1 control unit is solid. NOTICE: Always disconnect the Li-Po from the receiver of the aircraft when not flying. Failure to do so will render the battery unusable.
Troubleshooting Guide Problem Possible Cause Solution Throttle at high position Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at center or lowest setting Switches not in normal position Set flight mode to OFF/0 and exit throttle hold. Pitch or throttle servo reversing improperly configured Reset servo reversing Refer to “Programming your Transmitter” Throttle hold on Turn off HOLD with throttle low and trim centered or low.
