Technology

Revolutionary SAFE™ (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology uses an innovative combination of multi-axis sensors and software that allows model aircraft to know its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness is utilized to create a controlled ﬂ ight envelope the aircraft can use to maintain a safe region of bank and pitch angles so you can ﬂ y more safely. Far beyond stability, this level of protection offers multiple modes so the pilot can choose to develop his or her skills with a greater degree of security and ﬂ ight control that always feels crisp and responsive.

SAFE technology delivers:

• Flight envelope protection you can enable at the ﬂ ip of a switch.

• Multiple modes let you adapt SAFE technology to your skill level instantly. Best of all, sophisticated SAFE technology doesn’t require any work to enjoy. Every aircraft with SAFE installed is ready to use

and optimized to offer the best possible ﬂ ight experience.

FlySAFERC.com

Panic Recovery

• Immediate recovery to a safe ﬂ ying attitude.

• Move the throttle to 50% and return all other transmitter controls to neutral for the quickest recovery.

• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the conﬁ dence to continue to improve their ﬂ ight skills.

If you get into distress while ﬂ ying in any mode, pull and hold the Bind/Panic Switch and move the control sticks to their neutral position. The SAFE technology will return the aircraft to a stable attitude, if the aircraft is at a sufﬁ cient height with no obstacles in its path. Release the Panic Switch to turn off Panic Recovery and return to the current ﬂ ight mode.

Flight Mode and Rate Selection

Refer to the Transmitter Setup Table for which switch on your transmitter selects ﬂ ight modes and speciﬁ c setup information.

Change ﬂ ight modes by moving the three-position ﬂ ight mode switch. Ensure the ﬂ ight mode switch is in the desired position before ﬂ ying.

• In Beginner Mode (switch position 0), the bank angle is limited to 15 degrees. When the cyclic stick is released, the model will return to level.

• In Intermediate Mode (switch position 1), the bank angle is limited to 35 degrees. When the cyclic stick is released, the model will return to level.

• In Experienced Mode (switch position 2), the bank angle is not limited. When the sticks are released, the model will not return to level. If you lose orientation, use the Panic Switch to return the model to a familiar orientation.

Change rates by moving the two-position dual rate switch.

• Low rate reduces the control rates, providing an easier to ﬂ y model. Beginners should use low rate for initial ﬂ ights.

• High rate provides full control and should be used by intermediate and experience pilots.

Motor

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.

CAUTION: Keep pets and other animals away from the helicopter. Animals may injure themselves if they attack or run toward the helicopter.

1. The motor beeps twice when the helicopter’s ESC arms properly. Before you continue, conﬁ rm that throttle is at full low position.

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.

2. Ensure the throttle is lowered completely. Ensure the transmitter is still setup as described in the Transmitter Setup Table. 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. Disconnect the battery from the helicopter and reverse any two motor wire connections to the ESC and repeat the motor control test.

Flying the 200 SR X

Consult your local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to ﬂ y your aircraft. We recommend ﬂ ying your aircraft outside in calm winds (3 MPH or less) or inside a large gymnasium. Always avoid

ﬂ ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid ﬂ ying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer ﬁ elds.

It is best to ﬂ y from a smooth ﬂ at surface as this will allow the model to slide without tipping over. Keep the helicopter approximately 2 ft (600mm) above the ground. Keep the tail pointed toward you during initial ﬂ ights to keep the control orientation consistent. Releasing the stick in Beginner or Intermediate Modes will allow the helicopter to level itself and activating the Panic Switch will level the helicopter quickly. If you become disoriented, slowly lower the throttle stick to land softly. During initial ﬂ ights, only attempt hovering the model in one spot and takeoff and landing.

Page 12

Flying the 200 SR X continued

Takeo

Place the model onto a ﬂ at, level surface free of obstacles and walk back 30 feet (10 meters). Slowly increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground and check the trim so the model ﬂ ies as desired. Once the trim is adjusted, begin ﬂ ying the model.

Typical ﬂ ight time for the included battery is approximately 10 minutes.

Hovering

Making small corrections on the transmitter, try to hold the helicopter in one spot. If ﬂ ying in calm winds, the model should require almost no corrective inputs. After moving the cyclic stick and returning it to center the model should level itself. The model may continue to move due to inertia. Move the cycle stick in the opposite direction to stop the movement.

After you become comfortable hovering, you can progress into ﬂ ying the model to different locations, keeping the tail pointed towards you at all times. You can also ascend and descend using the throttle stick. Once you're comfortable with these maneuvers, you can attempt ﬂ ying with the tail in different orientations. It is important to keep in mind that the ﬂ ight control inputs will rotate with the helicopter, so always try to picture the control inputs relative to the nose of the helicopter. For example, forward will always drop the nose of the helicopter.

Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)

LVC decreases the power to the motors when the battery voltage gets low. When the motor power decreases and the red LED on the ESC ﬂ ashes, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the ﬂ ight battery.

LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage. NOTICE: Repeated ﬂ ying to LVC will damage the battery.

Landing

To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level hover. After landing, disconnect and remove the battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Fully charge your battery before storing it. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

Mechanics

After a crash, for parts replacement or for more advanced setup and settings, go to the product page on www.horizonhobby.com <http://www.horizonhobby.com> and download the Blade 200 SR X Advanced Setup and Settings Guide.

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 there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over-tighten metal screws in plastic parts. Tighten screws so the parts are mated together, then turn the 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. Verify both main rotor blades have the correct and equal tension in the blade grips. When the helicopter is held up sideways, the main blades should support their own weight. When the helicopter is shaken lightly, the blades should fall.

Inspect the tail rotor for damage and replace if necessary. Verify the boom support bolts are tight and the plastic ends adhere to the carbon support rods. Verify the tail motor bolts, tail rotor adapter bolts and tail motor mount bolts are properly tightened. Inspect the tail boom for any damage and replace if necessary.

Inspect the main frame and landing gear for damage and replace if necessary. Check the mainshaft for vertical play and adjust the locking collar if necessary. Verify that the main gear mesh is correct and that no tight spots exist in the 360 degree rotation. Inspect all wires for damage and replace as necessary.
