16 17 installing the flight battery use the included hook and loop material for mounting the li-po battery. We suggest installing the “loop” (fuzzy) material on the battery and the “hook” material on the battery support located at the front of the main frame. Install the hook and loop material on th...
18 19 then, plug the battery into the battery lead of the esc. Position the helicopter to view it from the left or right side. Move the left-hand stick up and down to check the collective pitch control. When the stick is pushed up, the swashplate should lower, increasing the pitch of the main blades...
20 21 if at any time during the test the swashplate controls do not respond properly, double-check the swashplate mixing (swash mix) settings in the transmitter (see the manual for the dx6i for more information). The values should be set as follows: aile -75% elev -75% pitch +85% if the swashplate c...
22 23 q after confirming that the transmitter has been turned on and has an adequate level of battery power (as displayed on the lcd screen at the bottom of the transmitter), and that the throttle stick is in the lowest possible position, it is now safe to connect the flight battery to the esc. Q wi...

28 29 moving the left-hand stick to the left will turn (yaw) the nose of the helicopter to the left about the axis of the main shaft. This is accomplished by changing the pitch of the tail rotor blades. Moving the stick to the right will turn (yaw) the nose of the helicopter to the to the right abou...
30 31 normal and stunt flight modes the spektrum dx6i transmitter included with your blade 400 3d features a flight mode (f. Mode) switch.

32 33 general, it is usually preferred to simply “split the difference” between the values of the lowest point (point l) and the midpoint (point 3), as well as the highest point (point h) and the midpoint. For example, if the lowest and highest points are set to 100%, and the midpoint is set to 70%,...
34 35 before the first flight although each blade 400 3d model is factory assembled and tested, you should check the following before making your first flight: q check the security of all screws and control/linkage balls on your model. Tighten any screws and control/linkage balls that may be loose a...
36 37 as you will find, the blade 400 3d requires minor throttle/collective pitch adjustments to maintain its altitude in hover. Remember to keep these adjustments as minimal as possible as large adjustments could result in a loss of control and/or a possible crash. • while attempting to establish a...
38 39 • after confirming which blade is running low and which blade is running high, power down the helicopter in order to make any necessary adjustments to the linkages. You can increase the pitch of the low blade by shortening the “mixing arm to inner swashplate linkage.” this is accomplished by t...
40 41 head dampening shims and tuning cyclic response the rotor head (main rotor blade) dampening of your blade 400 3d model can be adjusted in order to tune the cyclic response and stability of your model. In general, stiffer dampening will result in quicker cyclic response with a slight reduction ...
