NOTICE: Do not allow the helicopter to move until the blue LED on the 3-in-1 control unit is solid.

NOTICE: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the 3-in-1 control unit of the aircraft when not ying. Failure to do so may result in over discharge.

Page 8

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identier) code of a single speci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 S2 to the MLP6DSM, follow the directions below:

Binding Procedure for the MLP6DSM (RTF)

1. Disconnect the ight battery from the helicopter.

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

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

4. Push and hold the bind/panic button/trigger and hold the rudder control stick to full left while powering on the transmitter.

5. Release the bind/panic button/trigger. Continue to hold the rudder control stick to full left until the LED on the 3-in-1 control unit is solid.

6. Release the rudder control stick.

7. Disconnect the ight battery and power the transmitter off.

NOTICE: If the swashplate moves up and down when the trainer switch is moved, the helicopter is in computer transmitter mode. Repeat the binding procedure.

To bind your Nano S2 to your chosen transmitter, follow the directions below:

Binding Procedure for Computer Radios (BNF)

1. Disconnect the ight battery from the helicopter.

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

3. Connect the ight battery to the helicopter. The 3-in-1 Control unit LED 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 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 ofce.

Control Tests

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

controls prior to the rst ight to ensure the servos, linkages and parts operate correctly.

Flight Modes

The Nano S2 RTF comes with the Blade MLP6DSM transmitter. This transmitter has a ight mode switch that lets the pilot change among the following 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 Z (switch position 1)

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

• The helicopter will limit the bank angle, even with full control input, and return the aircraft to a level 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.

• The helicopter uses the stability sensor to help control ascent and descent rates.

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

• The helicopter has no bank angle limit.

• Both the cyclic and yaw controls are at

• The Panic Recovery button returns the

• The throttle mode is “Idle up.” The motor

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

remains at a constant speed, regardless of the throttle stick position. The throttle stick controls the pitch of the main rotor blades.

• Stability Mode shares the same characteristics as Sability Z mode but without the stability sensor to help control the ascent and descent rates.

Page 11

Panic Recovery

If you get into distress while 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 suf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 ight mode.

• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the condence to continue to improve their 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 S2 to descend rapidly.

First Flight Preparation

• Remove and inspect contents

• Begin charging the ight battery

• Program your computer transmitter (BNF)

• Install the 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 ying

Flying the Nano S2

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

We recommend ying your aircraft outside in calm winds or inside a large gymnasium. Always avoid ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid ying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer elds.

It is best to y from a smooth 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 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 ights, only attempt takeoff, landing and hovering in one spot.

Takeo

Place the model onto a at, level surface free of obstacles and walk back 30 feet (10 meters). Slowly increase the throttle until

Flying Checklist

❏ Always turn the transmitter on ﬁrst

❏ Plug the 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 ight battery from the ESC

❏ Always turn the transmitter off last

the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground and check the trim so the model ies as desired. Once the trim is adjusted, begin ying the model.

Hovering

Making small corrections on the transmitter, try to hold the helicopter in one spot. If 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 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 ying with the tail in different orientations. It is important to keep in mind that the 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.

Page 12

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 ashes, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the ight battery.

LVC does not prevent the battery from overdischarge during storage.

NOTICE: Repeated 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.

Dri Calibration

The helicopter has been calibrated in the factory before shipment, but it is possible that a crash will cause mechanical distortion of the frame, resulting in a slight drift in Stability mode. In this situation, please follow the calibration procedure.

Before begining the cailbration procedure, fully chage the ight battery and ensure the helicopter and transmitter are bound properly, per the binding instructions.

To calibrate the Blade Nano S2:

1. After initialization, move the transmitter sticks to the bottom, outside corners, as shown in the illustration.

When the red and blue LEDs on the main control board ash slowly, calibration mode is active.

2. Release the sticks.

3. Slowly advance the throttle to bring the helicopter into a low hover. The red and blue LEDs ash rapidly to indicate the calibration process has begun. Hold the hover for approximately 15 seconds, using as little control input as possible to keep the helicopter steady.

4. Land the helicopter by slowly lowering the throttle.

5. After Landing, press the bind/panic button to complete the calibration process. The LED will show solid blue.
