he Blade® mSR Ready-To-Fly helicopter is designed to bridge the gap between co-axial and high performance

T

ultra-micro helis. Co-axial heli pilots will appreciate the simplicity of the mSR with its proven design and
exceptional durability. Its unique rotor head provides the kind of response you would expect of a single-rotor heli,
but maintains a measure of positive stability similar to a co-axial heli. This blend of agility and stability makes it the
ideal “next step” for someone moving up from a coaxial heli, such as the
Blade CX2 or Blade mCX2.

Your Blade mSR RTF comes from the factory completely assembled and fl ight tested with everything you need to
get fl ying. This includes a 2.4GHz DSMX
and 8 AA batteries, 4 for the Li-Po charger and 4 for the transmitter. The mSR’s onboard 5-in-1 control unit com­bines the functions of a Spektrum™ 2.4GHz DSMX-compatible receiver, mixer, gyro, main and tail motor ESCs and
servos. This integration eliminates the need for diffi cult electronic installation and setup while providing heading
lock-like gyro performance and precise proportional motor and servo response.

While your mSR is ready-to-fl y right from the box, please take the time to read through this manual for tips on
battery safety and charging, control checks and more before making your fi rst fl ight. We also suggest viewing the
Instructional Video located on the Blade mSR product page at www.bladehelis.com

Charging Warnings

The Battery Charger (EFLC1000) included with the
Blade mSR 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 the 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.

Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V, the bat­tery may become damaged and may no longer accept a
charge. The mSR 5-in-1 control unit protects the fl ight
battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff
(LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much,
LVC reduces power supplied to the motor. Power to the
motor decreases and the LED on the 5-in-1 control unit
blinks, showing some battery power is reserved for
fl ight control and safe landing.

• 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.

When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft
immediately and recharge the fl ight battery.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the
aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge.Before
storage, charge the Li-Po battery to full capacity. During
storage, make sure battery charge does not fall below
3V.

NOTICE: Repeated fl ying to LVC may damage the
battery.

Installing the Transmitter Batteries

Install AA batteries into transmitter, noting polarity.
Replace the transmitter batteries when the power LED
fl ashes and the transmitter beeps.

Battery Charging

E-fl ite® 1-Cell 3.7V Rate 0.3A DC Li-Po Charger

(EFLC1000) Instructions:

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. Remove the cover on the bottom of the charger and
install four of the included AA batteries, noting proper
polarity. Replace the cover after the AA batteries are
installed.

3. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger. The end
cap of the battery is specifi cally designed to allow
the battery to fi t
into the slot one
way (usually with
the label on the
battery facing
outward) to
prevent reverse
polarity connec­tion. However,
check for proper
alignment and
polarity before
proceeding to the
next step.

4. Gently press the battery and its connector into the
charge jack/connector located at the bottom of the
slot in the charger.

5. When you make the connection successfully, the LED
on the charger turns solid red, indicating charging
has begun.

6. Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged)
150mAh battery takes approximately 20–30
minutes. As the battery nears full charge, the LED
begins to blink.

7. When the battery is fully charged, the LED blinks
approximately every 20 seconds or goes out entirely.

If the LED stays on when the battery is removed,
the AA batteries in the charger are low.

8. Always remove the battery from the charger immedi­ately upon completion of charging.

NOTICE: Only use the included charger. For DC charger
operation (AA batteries): only use alkaline AA batteries
to power the charger. Do not use rechargable AA bat­teries.

WARNING: For AC operation, only use an

E-fl ite 6V power supply with this charger.
DO NOT use a 12V power supply or property damage
and injury could occur.

Transmitter Dual Rates

®

Your Blade
controls (High and Low Rates) for aileron, elevator
and rudder. High Rates allow the helicopter controls to
reach their maximum values. Low Rates reduces the
control response (recommended for fi rst-time use).

When the transmitter is fi rst powered on it will be in the
high-rate mode. You can tell you are in the high-rate
mode when the LED on the transmitter glows solid red.
In the high-rate mode the controls are allowed to reach
their maximum values, which is typically preferred by
experienced pilots interested most in maximum control
authority.

By pushing in on the right-hand stick while in the high­rate mode, you can enter the low-rate mode. You can
tell you are in the low-rate mode when the LED on the
transmitter blinks continuously. The low-rate mode is
typically preferred by (and best for) fi rst-time, low-time
and other pilots interested most in a reduced amount
of control that allows for smoother and more easily
controlled hovering and fl ying.

mSR transmitter features dual rate fl ight

Flying the mSR

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing
a location to fl y your aircraft. Select a large, open

area away from people and objects. The Blade mSR
can be fl own indoors in a gymnasium, or outdoors in
light winds.

NOTICE: Please take a few minutes to familiarize your­self with the Blade mSR primary controls before
attempting your fi rst fl ight.

Takeo

Gradually increase throttle and allow the helicopter to
slowly increase the rotor head speed. Establish a hover
at least 18” (0.5 meter) high, outside of ground effect.

Flying

Avoid using excessive sub-trim or trim on aileron,
elevator and rudder. Setting trim can cause an un­wanted drift or rotation of the helicopter.

NOTICE: You may be required to make slight trim
changes when switching back and forth between low
and high rates. The transmitter shortly beeps when
switching between the two rates.

Familiarize yourself with your mSR in low rate mode.
You may notice that the helicopter main shaft tilts to
the right and the helicopter has a slight right tilt in
fl ight. The right tilt counters the torque in fi xed pitch
helicopters and is normal.

NOTICE: Always fl y the helicopter with your back to the
sun to prevent loss of fl ight control.

Landing

Establish a hover at least 18” (0.5 meter) high, outside
of ground effect. Gradually lower the throttle until the
helicopter lands.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of
the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique
Identifi er) code of a single specifi c transmitter.The
transmitter is bound to the model at the factory.

MLP4DSM Binding Procedure

1. Disconnect the fl ight battery from the helicopter.

2. Center all trims on your transmitter (refer to transmitter control section below for trim instructions).

3. Power off the transmitter and move the throttle stick to the down/off position.

4. Connect the fl ight battery in the helicopter. The LED on the 5-in-1 Control unit fl ashes after 5 seconds.

5. Push in on the left stick while powering on the transmitter
(you will hear a mechanical ‘click’ when pushing in the stick).

6. Release the left stick and immediately move it to the Low Throttle position. The transmitter will beep and the
power LED will blink.

7. The helicopter is bound when the blue LED on the 5-in-1 unit turns solid.

8. Disconnect the fl ight battery and power the transmitter off.

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