Installing the DXe Transmitter Batteries (RTF) The LED indicator flashes and the transmitter beeps progressively faster as the battery voltage drops. Replace the transmitter batteries when the transmitter begins to beep.
Transmitter Setup Table (BNF) Program your transmitter before attempting to bind or fly the helicopter. Transmitter programming values are shown below for the Spektrum™ DX6i, DX4e, DX5e, DX7 (Gen 1), DX8 (Gen 1), DX6, DX7, DX8, DX9, DX18 and DX20. Model Transmitter Type The files for models using a DXe or Spektrum transmitters with AirWare™ software are also available for download online at www.spektrumrc.com.
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.
This product requires an approved Spektrum DSM2®/DSMX® compatible transmitter. Visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of approved transmitters. General Binding Procedure 1. Disconnect the flight battery from the helicopter. 2. Refer the Transmitter Setup Table to correctly setup your transmitter. 3. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. Set all trims to the center position. 4. Power off the transmitter and move all switches to the 0 position. Move the throttle to the low/off position. 5.
Control Direction Tests Ensure the throttle hold is ON when doing the direction control tests. Test the controls prior to the first flight to ensure the servos, linkages and parts operate correctly. If the controls do not react as shown in the illustrations below, confirm the transmitter is programmed correctly before continuing on to the Motor test.
Primary Flight Controls If you are not familiar with the controls of your 200 S, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.
Flying the 200 S 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.
4. Cyclic Response (Default 100%) Higher cyclic response will result in a more aggressive cyclic response. Lower cyclic response will result in a less aggressive cyclic response. 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.
The current gain value for the selected parameter is indicated on the Flight Log screen and by the angle of the swashplate (forward or backward) as shown in the table at the right. Move the cyclic stick forward or backward to adjust the gain value. Moving the stick forward will increase the gain value. Moving the stick backward will decrease the gain value. It is always best to adjust one gain at a time. Make small adjustments (5% or less) and test fly the model to evaluate the adjustments that were made.
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 200 S 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. To perform the calibration procedure below, the Spektrum™ AR636 receiver installed in the Blade 200 S must have the most recent firmware. Receiver firmware updates and instructions are available under “PC Firmware Updates” at www.spektrumrc.com/technology/AS3X.aspx.
Post-Flight Inspection √ 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. Bearings Replace bearings when they become notchy (sticky in places when turning) or draggy.
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 met
