Understanding the Primary Flight Controls
If you are not familiar with the controls of your 330 S, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your fi rst fl ight.

Motor Test
Place the helicopter outdoors on a clean, fl at and level surface (concrete or
asphalt) free of obstructions. Always stay clear of moving rotor blades.
1. The motor beeps twice when the helicopter’s ESC arms properly. Before con-
tinuing, confi rm TH HOLD is ON.
WARNING: The motor will spin when throttle is increased while TH
HOLD is OFF.
2. Check the swashplate directions to ensure they are moving in the correct
direction. Please refer to the diagrams above for reference.
WARNING: Stay at least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the helicopter
when the motor is running. Do not attempt to fl y the helicopter at this
time.
3. Ensure the throttle is lowered completely. Confi rm the transmitter is still set
to normal fl ight mode. Turn throttle hold off at this time. Slowly increase the
throttle until the blades begin to spin. The main blades spin clockwise when
viewing the helicopter from the top. The tail rotor blades spin counterclockwise
when viewing the helicopter from the right-hand side.
Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)
The ESC will continuously lower power to the motor until complete shutdown
when the battery reaches 9V under load. This helps prevent over-discharge of the
Li-Po battery. Land immediately when the ESC activates LVC. Continuing to fl y after
LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash or both. Crash damage and batteries
damaged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.
Repeatedly fl ying the helicopter until LVC activates will damage the helicopter battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle
discharge. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per
cell.
Electronic Speed Controller Governor Operation
The Blade 330 S Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) utilizes a head speed governor
to maintain a constant head speed during fl ight. The governor will work to maintain
a constant head speed throughout maneuvers and the discharge cycle of the fl ight
battery.
The throttle position determines the requested head speed, and although throttle
curves are still used, they will be a constant value; all positions of the curve are
set to the same value. The lowest position of the normal fl ight mode throttle curve
must be set to 0 to ensure the motor can be disabled.
The default throttle curve settings listed in the transmitter setup tables should be
acceptable to most pilots and we recommend starting with these values. If you feel
an adjustment is necessary after a few fl ights, adjust the throttle percentage for
the desired fl ight mode. We recommend making small changes of 5% to fi nd your
preferred head speed.
Remember the throttle position on the transmitter is simply requesting a specifi c
head speed and this is not related to the actual motor power percentage.
