Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Blade® mSR X! The mSR X utilizes the AS3X™ flybarless system, providing advanced 3-axis gyro stabilization for stability and cyclic response unmatched in any other ultra micro fixed-pitch heli. In addition to lower weight and increased battery performance, the mSR X includes a more powerful main motor and powerful tail motor for great performance and superior tail authority whether you fly indoors or out. Read this manual thoroughly before your first flight.
Battery Warnings and Guidelines The Battery Charger (EFLC1000) included with the Blade mSR X has been designed to safely charge the Li-Po battery. CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a fire, personal injury, and/or property damage. • By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery, you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries. • If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately.
Battery Charging E-flite® 1-Cell 3.7V Variable Rate 0.3A DC Li-Po Charger (EFLC1000) Instructions: 1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured. 2. Remove the cover on the bottom of the charger and install four of the included AA batteries, noting proper polarity. Replace the cover after the AA batteries are installed. 3. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding 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. If you purchased an RTF model, the transmitter is bound to the model at the factory.
Transmitter Control B A H G C F D E NOTICE: When pressed down, trim buttons make a sound that increases or decreases in pitch at each pressing. The middle or neutral trim position is heard as a middle tone in the pitch range of the sounds. The end of the control range is sounded by a series of beeps.
Understanding the Primary Flight Controls If you are not familiar with the controls of your mSR X, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.
RTF Transmitter Dual Rates Your Blade® mSR X transmitter features dual rate flight controls (High and Low Rates) for aileron, elevator and rudder. High Rates allow the helicopter controls to reach their maximum values. Low Rates reduces the control response (recommended for first-time use). When the transmitter is first powered on it will be in the high-rate mode. You can tell you are in the high-rate mode when the LED on the transmitter glows solid red.
