Charging Warnings

The Battery Charger (EFLUC1007) included with your
helicopter has been designed to safely charge the Li-Po
battery.

CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be

followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries
can result in a fi re, personal injury and/or property
damage.

• By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po

battery, you assume all risks associated with lithium
batteries.

• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell,

discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharg­ing, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use,
charge or discharge a battery that is ballooning or
swelling can result in fi re.

• Always store the battery at room temperature in a

dry area for best results.

• Always transport or temporarily store the battery in

a temperature range of 40–120º F (5–49° C). Do not
store battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If
stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or
even catch fi re.

• Always charge batteries away from fl ammable
materials.

• Always inspect the battery before charging.

• Always disconnect the battery after charging, and let
the charger cool between charges.

• Always constantly monitor the temperature of the
battery pack while charging.

• ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO
CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge the
battery with a compatible charger may cause a fi re
resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load.

• Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips.

• Never leave charging batteries unattended.

• Never charge batteries outside recommended levels.

• Never charge damaged batteries.

• Never attempt to dismantle or alter the charger.

• Never allow minors to charge battery packs.

• Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold places
(recommended between 40–120° F or (5–49° C)) or
place in direct sunlight.

Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, the battery may be damaged and may no longer accept a
charge. The mCP X BL 3-in-1 control unit protects the fl ight battery from over-discharge by using Low Voltage
Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to the motor. As power to
the motor decreases, the LED on the 3-in-1 control unit blinks, showing some battery power is reserved for fl ight
control and safe landing.

When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the fl ight battery.
Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after each fl ight. Charge your Li-Po battery to

full capacity before storage. Make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. A connected battery will
result in trickle discharge.

NOTICE: Use the timer on your radio to provide a warning the fl ight time is expiring so you can avoid the LVC.

Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage the battery.

AS3X Flybarless Helicopter Technology

The Blade® mCP X BL features on-board AS3X fl ybarless technology. AS3X technology combines 3-axis gyro stabi­lization with a fl ybarless collective-pitch rotor head, resulting in less drag, fewer parts and increased performance.

The AS3X technology also improves tracking, stability and cyclic response for intermediate and advanced pilots.
However, the AS3X fl ybarless system is not a fl ying aid for beginners.

Flying the mCP X BL

Choosing a Location

The Blade mCP X BL can be fl own outdoors or in larger indoor spaces like a gymnasium. Before choosing a loca­tion, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with any local ordinances that might affect the operation of RC aircraft.
Always be sure to select a large, open area away from people and objects.

Before you Fly

CAUTION: The Blade mCP X BL is much more powerful and responsive than most ultra micro helicopters

its size. If you’re transitioning from a fi xed-pitch machine and this is your fi rst collective pitch helicopter,

we strongly recommend you seek the assistance of an experienced pilot before taking your fi rst fl ight.

Takeoff

Gradually increase the throttle, allowing the rotors time to come up to speed.

NOTICE: Do not give any aileron, elevator or rudder commands before the helicopter lifts off.
Any control inputs prior to liftoff could cause a crash.

The helicopter will lift off the ground when the rotor head reaches a suitable speed and you apply collective pitch.
Once airborne, establish a low-level hover to verify everything is functioning properly.

Flying

This aircraft is extremely sensitive to control inputs. 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 collective pitch helicopters, familiarize yourself with
your mCP X BL in normal mode and at low rate. As you become more familiar with the helicopter’s response, adjust
the rates, expo, pitch and throttle curves to suit your fl ying style.

NOTICE: To minimize damage, always activate throttle hold in preparation for or during a crash.

Landing

Establish a low level hover and slowly lower the collective pitch until the helicopter lands. Make only small control
corrections during this time to avoid rotor blade strikes or other damage.

Flying Checklist

9

1. Always turn the transmitter on fi rst

2. Plug the fl ight battery into the lead from the
3-in-1 control unit

3. Allow the 3-in-1 control unit to initialize and
arm properly

4. Fly the model

5. Land the model

6. Unplug the fl ight battery from the 3-in-1
control unit

7. Always turn the transmitter off last

9

EN

Throttle Hold

Throttle hold is used to turn off the helicopter motors if the helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing or
both. Activate throttle hold anytime the helicopter is in danger to reduce the chance of damaging the helicopter in a
crash. Throttle hold will stop the motor in normal or stunt mode.

Stunt Mode

Stunt Mode allows the helicopter to fl y inverted and perform aerobatics. The throttle runs continuously when Stunt
Mode is ON, regardless of throttle stick position. Turn Stunt Mode OFF to return control to the throttle stick.

Post-Flight Inspection and Maintenance Checklist

Ball Links

Cleaning

Bearings

Wiring

Fasteners

Rotors

Make sure a 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.
Replace bearings when they become notchy (sticky in places when turning) or draggy.

Make sure wiring does not block 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 the screw so the parts are mated together, then turn
the screw only 1/8th of a turn more.
Make sure there is no damage to the rotor blades and other parts that move at high speed.
Damage to these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts
before fl ying.

USE.

Purchaser’s Remedy

Horizon’s sole obligation and purchaser’s sole and exclusive
remedy shall be that Horizon will, at its option, either (i)
service, or (ii) replace, any Product determined by Horizon
to be defective. Horizon reserves the right to inspect any
and all Product(s) involved in a warranty claim. Service or

LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF
HORIZON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES. Further, in no event shall the liability of
Horizon exceed the individual price of the Product on which
liability is asserted. As Horizon has no control over use,
setup, final assembly, modification or misuse, no liability
shall be assumed nor accepted for any resulting damage

from state to state. Horizon reserves the right to change or
modify this warranty at any time without notice.

WARRANTY SERVICES
Questions, Assistance, and Services

Your local hobby store and/or place of purchase can­not provide warranty support or service. Once assembly,
setup or use of the Product has been started, you must

contact your local distributor or Horizon directly. This will
enable Horizon to better answer your questions and service
you in the event that you may need any assistance. For
questions or assistance, please visit our website at www.
horizonhobby.com, submit a Product Support Inquiry, or
call 877.504.0233 toll free to speak to a Product Support
representative.

Inspection or Services

If this Product needs to be inspected or serviced and is
compliant in the country you live and use the Product in,
please use the Horizon Online Service Request submission
process found on our website or call Horizon to obtain a
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Pack the
Product securely using a shipping carton. Please note that
original boxes may be included, but are not designed to
withstand the rigors of shipping without additional protec­tion. Ship via a carrier that provides tracking and insurance
for lost or damaged parcels, as Horizon is not responsible
for merchandise until it arrives and is accepted at our facil­ity. An Online Service Request is available at Horizon Hobby
Service Center. If you do not have internet access, please
contact Horizon Product Support to obtain a RMA number
along with instructions for submitting your product for ser­vice. When calling Horizon, you will be asked to provide your
complete name, street address, email address and phone
number where you can be reached during business hours.
When sending product into Horizon, please include your
RMA number, a list of the included items, and a brief sum­mary of the problem. A copy of your original sales receipt
must be included for warranty consideration. Be sure your
name, address, and RMA number are clearly written on the
outside of the shipping carton.

Notice: Do not ship LiPo batteries to Horizon. If you
have any issue with a LiPo battery, please contact
the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

Warranty Requirements
For Warranty consideration, you must include your
original sales receipt verifying the proof-of-purchase
date. Provided warranty conditions have been met, your

Product will be serviced or replaced free of charge. Service
or replacement decisions are at the sole discretion of
Horizon.

Non-Warranty Service
Should your service not be covered by warranty ser­vice will be completed and payment will be required
without notification or estimate of the expense
unless the expense exceeds 50% of the retail pur­chase cost. By submitting the item for service you are

agreeing to payment of the service without notification.
Service estimates are available upon request. You must
include this request with your item submitted for service.
Non-warranty service estimates will be billed a minimum
of ½ hour of labor. In addition you will be billed for return
freight. Horizon accepts money orders and cashier’s
checks, as well as Visa, MasterCard, American Express,
and Discover cards. By submitting any item to Horizon for
service, you are agreeing to Horizon’s Terms and Conditions
found on our website Horizon Hobby Service Center.

NOTICE: Horizon service is limited to Product com­pliant in the country of use and ownership. If non­compliant product is received by Horizon for service,
it will be returned unserviced at the sole expense of
the purchaser.

Einleitung

Sie sind nur eine Akkuladung entfernt von einem der aufregendsten Ultra Mikro Heli Flugabenteuer. Wie sein
Vorgänger bietet der mCP X BL die überragende Präzision und Stabilität des erfolgreichen AS3X Flybarless System.
Was ihn unterscheidet ist der brandneue Rotorkopf mit den neu entwickelten längeren Rotorblättern und dem
Brushless Power System, dass den mCPX BL in neue Höhen katapultiert.

Rückenfl ug, Flips, Rollen, Funnels und Hurricanes sind nur ein kleiner Teil was der mCP X BL zu bieten hat. Fliegen
Sie links und rechts Pirouetten und genießen das hochpräzise Heck ohne Leistungsknick. Die einzigen Limits sind
Ihre Fähigkeiten und der Raum in dem Sie fl iegen.

Bevor Sie damit die Luft zum Kochen bringen, nehmen Sie sich bitte die Zeit diese Anleitung zu lesen und sich mit
dem Hubschrauber vertraut zu machen. Sie fi nden hier wichtige Informationen vor dem Flug und einen nützlichen
Leitfaden zur Problemlösung der Ihnen hilft das meiste aus dem Hubschrauber heraus zu holen und Sicherheit für
Sie und andere zu gewährleisten.
