2 introduction the blade cp is a true breakthrough in micro class electric helicopters. Collective pitch and ccpm (cyclic/ collective pitch mixing) deliver smooth, solid control for all types of flying indoors and out, in a convenient, ready-to-fly package. Features—such as pre-installed servos and ...

3 warning an rc model helicopter is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property. Fly only in open areas, preferably at ama (academy of model aeronautics) approved flying sites, following all instructions included with your radio. Lithium polymer batteries are signi...

With the canopy installed, lift the helicopter by the flybar with the flybar positioned perpendicular to the tail boom. Slide the battery support and battery forwa...

8 control test although each blade cp model is test flown at the factory, it is a good idea to test the controls prior to the first flight to ensure none of the servos, linkages or parts were damaged during shipping and handling. Before proceeding, unplug both the main and tail motor wires from the ...

9 control test (continued) turn the transmitter on first, and lower the throttle stick completely. Plug the battery into the battery lead of the 4-in-1 unit. 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. Wh...

10 control test (continued) again viewing the helicopter from the left or right side, move the right-hand stick forward and aft to check elevator pitch control. When the stick is pushed forward, the swashplate should also tilt forward. With the stick pulled back, the swashplate will tilt toward the ...

When the stick is pushed to the left, the swashplate should also tilt left. With the stick pushed right, the swashplate will tilt to the ri...

12 control test (continued) if at any time during the test the controls do not respond properly, double-check the servo reversing switches on the transmitter. They should be positioned as follows: ail – nor ele – rev thr – nor rud – rev if the controls still do not respond properly after ensuring th...

16 normal and idle up flight modes the 6-channel fm transmitter included with your blade cp features servo reversing and ccpm mixing, as well as an “idle up” flight mode switch. This switch allows the pilot to toggle between “normal” and “stunt (aerobatic)” flight modes during flight. With the switc...

17 normal and idle up flight modes (continued) when the idle up switch is toggled toward the front of the transmitter, the blade cp will now be flying in the “stunt (aerobatic)” flight mode. In this flight mode, the throttle curve is “v” shaped from 100% to 100% with 50% throttle at mid-stick, and a...

20 blade tracking adjustment caution: be sure to maintain a safe distance from the helicopter (10–15 feet) when tracking the main rotor blades. Blade tracking is a critical element to the flight performance of just about any helicopter, including the blade cp. Main rotor blades that are out of track...

21 blade tracking adjustment (continued) typically, not much adjustment should be necessary to properly track the main rotor blades. If significant adjustments are required, be sure to double-check the length of both pitch control links (they should be close to the same length) and also check the bl...
