Your aircraft comes with a 1S 3.7V DC Li-Po battery charger and 1S 3.7V 150mAh 45C LiPo battery. Refer to the charging warnings. It is recommended to charge the battery pack while you are inspecting the aircraft. The ﬂ ight battery will be required to conﬁ rm proper aircraft operation in future steps.

NOTICE: 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.

1. Insert the charger into a USB port. The charger only uses power from the USB port, it will not connect to your computer. USB power supplies, such as those used to charge cellular phones, can also be used.

2. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger and press it into the charge jack/connector located at the bottom of the slot. 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.

3. Always disconnect the ﬂ ight battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.

CAUTION: Only

use chargers speciﬁ cally designed to charge the included Li-Po battery. Failure to do so could result in ﬁ re, causing injury or property damage.

CAUTION:

Never exceed the recommended charge rate.

LED Indications

When you make the connection successfully, the LED on the charger turns solid red, indicating charging has begun. Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 150mAh battery takes approximately 30–40 minutes. The light goes out when the charge is complete.

Solid Red: Charging OFF: Max Charge

CAUTION: Once charging is

complete, immediately remove the battery. Never leave a battery connected to the charger.

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. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum

™

DSM2®/ DSMX® technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper

operation. If you purchased an RTF model, the transmitter is bound to the model at the factory. If for any reason you need to re-bind your Nano CPS to the MLP6DSM, follow the directions below:

Binding Procedure for Computer Radios (BNF)

1. Disconnect the ﬂ ight battery from the helicopter.

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

3. Connect the ﬂ ight battery to the helicopter. The 3-in-1 Control unit LED ﬂ ashes after 5 seconds.

4. Push the bind switch/button while powering on the transmitter.

5. After 2–3 seconds, release the bind switch/button.

6. Move the rudder control stick to full right. Continue to hold the rudder control stick to full right

until the blue LED on the 3-in-1 control unit is solid.

7. Release the rudder control stick.

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

NOTICE: The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the lowest position and the stunt mode switch is not in the 0 position.

If you encounter problems, refer to the troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby Product Support ofﬁ ce.

Control Tests

Ensure the throttle hold is ON when doing the direction control tests. Test the

controls prior to the ﬁ rst ﬂ ight to ensure the servos, linkages and parts operate correctly.

If the controls do not react as shown in the illustrations below, conﬁ rm the transmitter is programmed correctly.

To bind your Nano CPS to your chosen transmitter, follow the directions below:

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.

Flight Modes

The Nano CPS RTF comes with the Blade MLP6DSM transmitter. This transmitter has a ﬂ ight mode switch that lets the pilot change among the following ﬂ ight modes.

Throttle Hold (switch position 0)

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.

Stability Mode (switch position 1)

• Stability Mode is typically preferred by pilots with less experience ﬂ ying collective pitch helicopters.

• The helicopter will limit the bank angle, even with full control input, and return the aircraft to a level ﬂ ight attitude when the controls are released.

• The yaw rate is slowed for ease of control.

• The Panic Recovery button returns the helicopter to upright, level attitude.

• The throttle mode is normal. Low throttle stick position = 0% throttle.

3D Mode (switch position 2 )

• 3D Mode is intended for pilots with experience with collective pitch helicopters.

• The model will NOT return to a level attitude position when you release the controls.

• The helicopter has no bank angle limit.

• Both the cyclic and yaw controls are at fast, aerobatic rate.

• The Panic Recovery button returns the helicopter to a level attitude, either upright or inverted, whichever is closer.

• The throttle mode is “Idle up.” The motor remains at a constant speed, regardless of the throttle stick position. The throttle stick controls the pitch of the main rotor blades.

If you choose to use a computer radio, programmed as shown in the Transmitter Setup Table section, the ﬂ ight mode switch gives the pilot the choice between the following ﬂ ight modes:

Stability Mode (switch position 0) as previously described.

Agility Mode (switch position 1)

• Agility Mode shares the same characteristics as 3D Mode with a slightly lower head speed. This results in a softer, less responsive feel.

3D Mode (switch position 2) as previously described.

Activate Throttle Hold with the Hold switch.

Flying the Nano CPS

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 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 Mode will allow the helicopter to level itself and activating the Panic Recovery button will level the helicopter quickly. If you become disoriented while in Beginner Mode, slowly lower the throttle stick to land softly.

During initial ﬂ ights, only attempt takeoff, landing and hovering in one spot.

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.

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.

First Flight Preparation

• Remove and inspect contents

• Begin charging the ﬂ ight battery

• Program your computer transmitter (BNF)

• Install the ﬂ ight battery in the helicopter (once it has been fully charged)

• Bind your transmitter (BNF)

• Familiarize yourself with the controls

• Find a suitable area for ﬂ ying

Flying Checklist

❏ Always turn the transmitter on ﬁ rst

❏ Plug the ﬂ ight battery into the lead from

the ESC

❏ Allow the receiver and ESC to initialize and

arm properly ❏ Fly the model ❏ Land the model ❏ Unplug the ﬂ ight battery from the ESC

❏ Always turn the transmitter off last

Panic Recovery

If you get into distress while ﬂ ying in any mode, push and hold the Bind/Panic Switch and move the control sticks to their neutral position. SAFE technology will immediately return the aircraft to an upright level attitude, if the aircraft is at a sufﬁ cient height with no obstacles in its path. Return the collective stick to 50% and release the Panic Switch to turn off Panic Recovery and return to the current ﬂ ight mode.

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

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

• Once the model has reached a level upright attitude the negative collective is reduced preventing the user from pushing the model into the ground.

NOTICE: Before releasing the panic switch, make sure the collective stick has been returned to the 50% position. Once the panic switch has been released, full negative collective becomes available, which could cause the Nano CPS to descend rapidly.

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 overdischarge 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.

THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THEY ALONE HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE PRODUCT WILL SUITABLY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PURCHASER’S INTENDED 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 replacement decisions are at the sole discretion of Horizon.

HORIZON SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF PROFITS OR PRODUCTION OR COMMERCIAL LOSS IN ANY WAY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS BASED IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT 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 or injury. By the act of use, setup or assembly, the user accepts all resulting liability.

have other rights which vary 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.
