CAUTION: Never exceed

the recommended charge rate.

NOTICE: If using a battery other than the included Li-Po battery, refer to your battery manufacturer’s instructions for charging.

The Battery Charging Process

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. Attach the input cord of the charger to the appropriate power supply (12V accessory outlet).

3. When the Li-Po charger has been correctly powered up, there will be an approximate 3-second delay, then an audible “beep” and the green (ready) LED will ﬂ ash.

4. Turn the control on the Amps selector so the arrow points to the charging rate required for the battery (the 2200mAh Li-Po battery will charge at 2.0 amps). DO NOT change the charge rate once the battery begins charging.

5. Move the cell selector switch to 3-cell for your battery.

6. Connect the balancing lead of the battery to the 3-cell (4 pin) charger port and press the Start button to begin battery charging.

7. The green and red LEDs may ﬂ ash during the charging process when the charger is balancing cells. Balancing prolongs the life of the battery.

8. When the battery is fully charged, a beep will sound for about 3 seconds and the green LED will shine continuously. Attempting to charge an over-discharged battery will cause the charger to repeatedly ﬂ ash and beep, indicating an error has occurred.

9. Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.

Binding

If you purchased the ready-to-ﬂ y (RTF) model, the transmitter is bound to the model at the factory. If for any reason the model needs to be re-bound, follow the Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) directions below.

To bind or re-bind your 350 QX to your chosen DSM2/DSMX transmitter, please follow the directions below along with the binding instructions included with your transmitter:

Bind switch (Trainer switch)

TRAINER

1. With the transmitter powered off, connect the battery to the 350 QX.

2. With the 350 QX on a level surface, turn on the power switch and allow the quadcopter to initialize.

3. Wait until the blue LED on the quad ﬂ ashes rapidly, signaling the quadcopter is initialized and ready to bind.

Normal Bind

4. Turn on the transmitter in bind mode.

NOTICE: Always bind with the th rottle trim at neutral.

Refer to the LED Codes table to ensure the aircraft is bound correctly. If the 350 QX fails to bind, turn off the power to the quad and the transmitter and repeat steps 2-4 above.

Mode 2 shown

The Binding Process

TRAINER

Bind with GPS enabled Bind with GPS disabled

When the 350 QX is bound it needs to see neutral elevator and aileron inputs. If the aircraft receives any input other than neutral, it will emit a constant rapid beeping sound.

Please follow this procedure if your 350 QX emits a constant beeping sound after binding:

1. Ensure all trims are neutral

2. Slowly move the elevator stick back and forth close to center and listen for the beeping to stop or hesitate, take note of the direction you are moving the stick when the change of tone happens

3. If the tone never changes with elevator movement, slowly move the aileron stick back and forth close to center and listen for the beeping to stop or hesitate, take note of the direction you are moving the stick when the change of tone happens

4. Input trim in the direction that caused the change in tone until the beeping stops

In the event you cannot ﬁ nd an input that stops the tones:

1. Apply 1 click of elevator trim and then slowly move the aileron stick close to center.

2. Continue to add 1 click at a time of elevator trim, up to 5 trim steps off center, and move the aileron stick until you ﬁ nd the point that makes the tones stop.

3. Add aileron trim in the direction you moved the stick to make the tones stop.

Flight Modes Explained

Flight Mode 0- Smart Mode (Default) (solid green LED indicator)

• Stick Relativity- With a solid GPS lock there is no orientation for the pilot to deal with (in Smart Mode only). The path of the aircraft will always follow the control stick input relative to the SAFE circle, regardless

of the direction the nose of the aircraft is pointing.

• SAFE Circle™- In most scenarios, the quad will not enter the SAFE circle.

• Position Hold- The aircraft will hold its position when elevator and aileron inputs are at neutral.

• Self leveling- Brings the 350 QX to a level attitude when the elevator and aileron inputs are at neutral.

• Altitude Hold- Altitude is relative to throttle stick position.

The Blade 350 QX ﬂ ies very differently in the different ﬂ ight modes. Beginners should use Smart Mode to begin with, and progress slowly into Stability Mode. When ﬂ ying in Smart Mode, the quadcopter follows stick input based on the set pilot location. When ﬂ ying in Stability Mode, the quadcopter follows stick inputs based on the orientation of the aircraft. The transition from Smart Mode to Stability Mode can be a challenge for new ﬂ yers because the pilot will need to learn how to interpret the aircraft’s orientation.

This aircraft is extremely sensitive to control inputs in Agility Mode and has NO self leveling. We recommend you ﬂ y at low rate settings for the ﬁ rst few ﬂ ights until you are familiar with its response. For pilots new to quadcopters and helicopters, familiarize yourself with your Blade 350 QX in Smart Mode and at low rate.

As you become more familiar with the quadcopter’s response, for ﬂ yers using a computer radio, adjust the rates and expo to suit your ﬂ ying style.

CAUTION: Please do not attempt to ﬂ y your 350 QX in Stability Mode or Agility Mode until you have familiarized yourself with the operation of the aircraft in Smart Mode and read and understand the descriptions of the other ﬂ ight modes. For a full description of Stability Mode and Agility Mode, please

see the full Blade 350 QX manual at www.bladehelis.com/Support/Manuals.

Preparing the 350 QX For Flight

1. Power on the transmitter with the ﬂ ight mode set to Smart Mode, the throttle stick down and the throttle trim at neutral.

2. Install a charged battery, plug it in and close the hatch.

3. With the quad on a level surface, turn on the power switch and allow the 350 QX to initialize. If the GPS is enabled, wait for the GPS signal to be acquired, which is indicated by a solid green LED. It may take from 30–90 seconds to acquire a GPS signal.

4. Move the aircraft to the desired home location and orient the aircraft pointed away from the pilot.

5. Step back approximately 16 feet (5 meters) from the home location.

6. When you are prepared to ﬂ y, quickly move the rudder stick all the way left and then all the way right. At this point the props will begin to spin, the home position for GPS functions is set and your aircraft is ready to ﬂ y.

NOTICE: Lower the throttle stick and the throttle trim to power off the props after ﬂ ight.

CAUTION: When the home location is set (step 6), the 350 QX must be approximately 16 feet (5 meters)

from where the pilot will stand during ﬂ ight and pointed away from the pilot. If the aircraft is pointed in any other direction the SAFE Circle will not function as expected and may result in personal injury or damage to property. Once the aircraft is armed, do not change your position.

Flying the 350 QX

Takeoff

Increase the throttle slightly above low stick. The 350 QX altitude in Smart Mode corresponds with throttle position. Low throttle is on the ground, slightly raising the throttle will produce a low hover, and the higher the throttle position, the higher the 350 QX will ascend until it reaches its maximum altitude (approximately 45 meters).

Explore the ﬂ ight envelope of the 350 QX in Smart Mode without fear of losing orientation. See the diagrams on the previous page for more detail on the aircraft’s function in

Smart Mode. In Smart Mode the direction the

aircraft is pointing does not affect the control, and the aircraft’s response relative to you (the pilot location) does not change with orientation. Stability Mode and Agility Mode operate more like a conventional RC helicopter or multicopter.

NOTICE: Aggressive ﬂ ight in Agility Mode will signiﬁ cantly reduce ﬂ ight time. For more information on Stability and Agility Modes, please see the full manual online at

www.bladehelis.com/Support/Manuals.

Landing

To land the 350 QX there are two options.

• Guide the aircraft to where you wish to land and reduce the throttle. Reduce the throttle trim after landing to disarm the motors.

• Activate the Return Home function and the 350 QX will return to the assigned home location and land automatically.

CAUTION: Do not activate the Return Home function if the 350 QX is showing the low battery indication.

Land the aircraft immediately.

Return Home

• When this feature is activated, the 350 QX will ﬂ y back to its assigned home location and land. After landing the motors will disarm.

• To restart the props after landing in Return Home fully lower the throttle and ensure throttle trim is neutral, quickly move the rudder stick fully left and then fully right.

WARNING: The 350 QX will not recognize the SAFE Circle when Return Home is used. Acti-

vating Return Home may cause the 350 QX to ﬂ y directly over the pilot if the aircraft was ﬂ own to a position behind where the pilot was standing when the home position was established.

After Your Flight

1. Turn off the power switch on the 350 QX.

2. Turn off the power to your transmitter.

3. Unplug and remove the battery from the 350 QX.

Activating Return Home

Press and hold.

Releasing the switch will stop the Return Home program.

TRAINER

Operating the 350 QX With GPS

To acquire a reliable GPS signal, it is important the 350 QX has a clear view of the sky. Obstructions which can affect the aircraft’s ability to acquire an acceptable signal include:

• Flying close to or around tall/big buildings

• Flying under dense vegetation

• Flying indoors or under a structure

If you lose or cannot acquire a GPS lock and home position, the aircraft will not have Stick Relativity, SAFE Circle, Position Hold or Return Home functions available.

It is not possible to use Smart Mode without having GPS enabled. If the 350 QX is initialized without GPS enabled, it will default to Stability Mode. The aircraft will still be capable of altitude hold.

If you do not have a GPS signal, try maneuvering the 350 QX by steering with forward elevator and rudder only.

Audible Alerts and LED Codes On the 350 QX

The motors will Beep under the following conditions:

• At any time the props stop spinning after they have been initialized.

• After 60 seconds of no throttle input. (Waiting armed on the ground).

Please see the online manual at www.bladehelis.com/Support/Manuals for a full description of all audible tones and LED codes.

CAUTION: If you see the LED signal for low battery, land your aircraft and recharge the battery.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to use Return Home with a low battery.
