Flying the 120 S2 Consult your local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft. We recommend flying your aircraft outside in calm winds (3 MPH or less) 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.
Drift Calibration The helicopter has been calibrated in the factory before shipment, but it is possible that a crash will cause mechanical distortion of the frame, resulting in a slight drift in Stability mode. In this situation, please follow the calibration procedure. Before beginning the calibration procedure, fully charge the flight battery and ensure the helicopter and transmitter are bound properly, per the binding instructions. To Calibrate the Blade 120 S2: 1.
Problem Possible Cause Solution Flight battery charge is low Helicopter has reduced flight Flight battery is damaged time or is underpowered Flight conditions might be too cold Completely recharge the flight battery Replace the flight battery and follow the flight battery instructions Make sure the battery is warm (room temperature) before use Power off the transmitter. Move the transmitter a larger Transmitter too near aircraft during distance from the aircraft.
