Installing the Flight Battery

1. Lower the throttle.

2. Power on the transmitter.

3. Center the throttle trim.

4. To allow the ESC to arm and to keep rotors from initiating at startup, turn on throttle hold and normal ﬂ ight mode before connecting the ﬂ ight battery. Please refer to your transmitter manual for more information on programming throttle hold and normal ﬂ ight mode.

5. Attach hook material to the helicopter frame and loop material to the battery.

6. Install the ﬂ ight battery on the helicopter frame. Secure the ﬂ ight battery with a hook and loop strap. Connect the battery cable to the ESC.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft receiver when not ﬂ ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential ﬁ re when batteries are charged.

CAUTION: Always keep the power lead posi-

tioned AWAY from the elevator servo. Failure to do so could cause the lead to get caught and will result in crash causing property damage and injury.

CAUTION: Make sure the ﬂ ight battery does not

come in contact with the motor. Failure to do so will cause the motor, ESC and battery to overheat, resulting in crash, causing property damage and injury.

7. Do not move the helicopter until the receiver initializes. The LED on the receiver glows solid when the helicopter is initialized.

8. The helicopter motor will emit 2 tones, indicating the ESC is armed.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁ er) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen

Binding Procedure

1. Disconnect the ﬂ ight battery from the helicopter.

2. Refer to the Transmitter Setup Table to correctly set up your transmitter.

3. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest position.

4. Power off the transmitter and move all switches to the 0 position.

5. Install the bind plug in the bind port extension.

6. Connect the ﬂ ight battery to the ESC. The receiver LED ﬂ ashes, indicating it is in bind mode.

7. Put the transmitter into bind mode while powering on the transmitter.

8. Release the bind button/switch after 2–3 seconds. The helicopter is bound when the LED on the receiver turns solid.

9. Disconnect the ﬂ ight battery and remove the bind plug. Store the bind plug in a convenient place.

NOTICE: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on.

If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to transmitter troubleshooting guide for other

Spektrum™ DSM2/DSMX technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support ofﬁ ce. For a list of compatible DSM transmitters, please visit www.bindnﬂ y.com.

Throttle Hold

Throttle hold only turns off the motor on an electric helicopter. You must maintain pitch and direction control.

The blades will spin if throttle hold is OFF. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time you need to touch the helicopter or check the direction controls.

Throttle hold is also used to turn off the motor if the helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing, or both.

Please refer to your transmitter manual for more information on programming throttle hold.

Control Tests

Test the controls prior to the ﬁ rst ﬂ ight to ensure the servos, linkages and parts operate correctly. Turn on Throttle Hold when doing the control tests.

Motor Control 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 you continue, conﬁ rm that 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.

Side ViewSide View

3. Ensure the throttle is lowered completely. Turn throttle hold off at this time and conﬁ rm the transmitter is still set to normal ﬂ ight mode. 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.

NOTICE: If the main rotor blades are spinning counterclockwise, reduce the throttle to low immediately. Turn throttle hold on. Disconnect the battery from the helicopter and reverse any two motor wire connections to the ESC and repeat the motor control test.

Blade 180 CFX Pre-Flight Checklist

❏ Check all screws to ensure that they are tight ❏ Check main and tail blades to ensure they are not

damaged

❏ Check all links to make sure they move freely, but do

not pop off easily

❏ Check that ﬂ ight battery and transmitter battery are

fully charged

❏ Check all wires to ensure that they are not cut,

pinched, or chaffed and are properly secured

Flying the Blade 180 CFX

❏ Check all wire connections ❏ Check gears to make sure no teeth are missing ❏ Do a complete control test ❏ Check that the servos are functioning properly ❏ Check to make sure the ﬂ ight battery is properly

secured

❏ Check to make sure the receiver is properly secured

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to ﬂ y your aircraft.

Select a large, open area away from people and objects. Your ﬁ rst ﬂ ights should be outdoors in low-wind conditions. Always stay at least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the helicopter when it is ﬂ ying.

The Blade 180 CFX is intended to be ﬂ own outdoors or inside a large gymnasium.

Takeoff

Deliberately increase throttle and establish a hover at least 24” (0.6 meter) high, outside of ground effect.

CAUTION: Do not give any aileron, elevator or rudder commands before takeoff or the

helicopter may crash during takeoff.

Flying

The helicopter lifts off the ground when the rotor head reaches a suitable speed. Establish a low-level hover outside of ground effect to verify proper operation of your helicopter. You must not set any trim; the ﬂ ybarless design of the Blade 180 CFX renders trim unnecessary. Setting trim or sub-trim can cause an unwanted drift or rotation of the helicopter. First ﬂ ights should be performed in normal mode and low cyclic and rudder dual rates until you are familiar with the ﬂ ying manner of the Blade 180 CFX. Discover the rates that ﬁ t your ﬂ ying style.

CAUTION: Always ﬂ y the helicopter with your back to the sun and the wind to prevent loss of

ﬂ ight control.

Landing

Establish a low level hover. Deliberately lower the throttle until the helicopter lands. Do not give any aileron, elevator or rudder commands when the helicopter is landing.

When the helicopter is in stunt mode:

• The rotor head speed is constant.

• The main rotor will increase negative pitch as the

throttle/collective stick is moved from the middle stick position to the low stick position. Negative pitch allows the helicopter to ﬂ y upside down and perform aerobatics.

Change between stunt and idle up modes in a hover with the throttle near the hovering stick position.

The helicopter may go up or down when you change between modes due to the difference in the throttle and pitch curves.

If the cyclic control is too slow or too fast, adjust the transmitter dual rates, expo or throttle curve to ﬁ t your liking.

For advanced AS3X settings please go to Bladehelis.com and refer to the 180 CFX page.

Page 10

Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)

Once the battery reaches 9V under load, the ESC will continuously lower power supplied to the motor until complete shutdown occurs. This helps prevent overdischarge of the Li-Po battery. Land immediately once 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.

Gyro Gain Adjustment

If the tail wags or oscillates, lower the gain on the gyro. On your transmitter’s gyro menu, decrease the gyro gain values a small amount until the helicopter is stable within a particular ﬂ ight mode.

If the tail is drifting while hovering, increase the gain on the gyro. On your transmitter, increase the gyro gain values a small amount at a time until the tail starts to wag/ oscillate. Afterwards, reduce the gain until the tail stops wagging/oscillating within a particular ﬂ ight mode.

Post-Flight Inspections and Maintenance

Ball Links

Cleaning

Bearings Replace bearings when they become notchy (sticky in places when turning) or draggy.

Wiring

Fasteners

Rotors

Gyro

Make sure the plastic ball link holds the control ball, but is not tight (binding) on the ball. When a link is too loose on the ball, it can separate from the ball during ﬂ ight and cause a crash. Replace worn ball links before they fail.

Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or a dry lint-free cloth.

Make sure the wiring does not contact moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors.

Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over tighten metal screws in plastic parts. Tighten screw so parts are mated together, then turn screw only 1/8th of a turn more.

Make sure there is no damage to rotor blades and other parts which move at high speed. Damage to these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts before ﬂ ying.

Make sure the receiver is securely attached to the frame. Replace the double-sided tape when necessary. The helicopter will crash if the receiver separates from the helicopter frame.
