Battery Warnings and Guidelines

While the 1S 3.7V DC Lithium Polymer Battery Charger (EFLC1103)included with your Blade mCX S300 has been specifically designed tosafely charge the included 1S 3.7V 110mAh Lithium Polymer Battery(EFLB1101S), you MUST read the following safety instructions and warningsbefore handling, charging or using the Li-Po battery.

Note: Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly morevolatile than the alkaline, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries used in RC

applications. All instructions and warnings must be followedexactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in fire.

By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery you assumeall risks associated with lithium batteries. If you do not agree with theseconditions, return your complete Blade mCX S300 model in new, unusedcondition to the place of purchase immediately.

Youmustchargetheincluded1S3.7V110mAhLi-Pobatteryinasafeareaawayrom lammable materials.

Neverchargethebatteryunattended.Whenchargingthebatteryyoushouldalwaysremain in constant observation to monitor the charging process and react to

potential problems that may occur.

Afterflight,thebatterymustbecooledtoambienttemperaturebeforecharging.

You MUST use the included 1S 3.7V DC Li-Po Charger (EFLC1003) ONLY.Failure to do so may result in a fire causing personal injury and/orproperty damage. DO NOT use a Ni-Cd or Ni-MH charger.

If at any time during the charge or discharge process the battery beginsto balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging immediately.Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, openarea away from flammable materials to observe it for at least 15 minutes.

Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has begun to balloon orswell can result in a fire. A battery that has ballooned or swollen even asmall amount must be removed from service completely.

Storethebatteryatroomtemperatureinadryareaforbestresults.

Whentransportingortemporarilystoringthebattery,thetemperaturerangeshouldbe rom 40120 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not store the battery or model in a caror direct sunlight whenever possible. I stored in a hot car, the battery can bedamaged or even catch ire.

Do not over-discharge the Li-Po flight battery. Discharging the batterytoo far below recommended voltage level can cause damage resulting inreduced power and duration, or failure of the battery entirely.

Li-Po cells should not be discharged to below 3V each under load. In thecase of the 1S Li-Po battery used for the Blade mCX S300, you will notwant to allow the battery to fall to below 3V during flight.

The Blade mCX S300s 5-in-1 control unit features a soft Low VoltageCutoff (LVC) that occurs when the battery reaches 3V under load. Whenthe soft cutoff occurs, the ESCs of the 5-in-1 unit will reduce power to themotors (regardless of the power level you have set with the throttle stick)in order to prevent the voltage of the battery from dropping below 3V. Thisreduction in power usually requires that you land the model immediately, atwhich point you should power down the model and unplug the flight battery.

And while it is possible to power the model up and to fly again after thesoft LVC occurs, this is NOT recommended as continued discharging tothe soft LVC will cause permanent damage to the Li-Po battery resulting inlost power and duration when using the battery for subsequent flights, orfailure of the battery entirely. Continued attempts to further discharge thebattery may also result in loss of control while the motor is running as thevoltage of the battery may drop below the minimum operating voltage ofthe receiver and other electronics.

Also, it is not recommended that you fly to the soft LVC every time you fly.Instead, you should be aware of the power level of the battery/helicopter

throughout the flight, and if at any time the helicopter begins to requiremore throttle than typical to maintain hover or flight, you should land thehelicopter immediately. Routinely discharging the battery to the soft LVCcan still cause permanent damage to the battery.

Note: When the battery power/voltage is getting low you will typically findthat significant rudder trim and/or rudder stick adjustments areneeded to prevent the helicopter from spinning. This usually occursbefore soft LVC, and indicates a good time to stop flying.

I you have any ur ther questions or concerns regarding the handling, charging and/or use o the included Li-Po battery pack, please contact the Horizon Support Teamat 877-504-0233.

Battery Charging

It is important that you only charge the included 1S 3.7V 110mAh Li-Po Battery(EFLB1101S) with the included 1S 3.7V DC Li-Po Charger (EFLC1003). Attempting tocharge the battery using another Li-Po charger or non-Li-Po-compatible charger couldresult in serious damage. Please amiliarize yoursel thoroughly with the BatteryWarnings and Guidelines section beore continuing.

Please ollow these steps to charge the Li-Po battery with the included charger.

Installing the Flight Battery

Once the Li-Po battery has been ully charged, its ready to be installed in thehelicopter.

Install the battery in the helicopter by sliding it into the battery mounting supports/slots just below the main gears. Slide the battery into the slots with the label acingdownward and the connector oriented toward the back o the helicopter.

Note: Be sure to slide the battery into the slots until the endcap o thebattery comes into contact with the rear battery support. This will allowyou to achieve the correct center o gravity or the best overall lightperormance. However, also be sure that the battery is not pushed arenough orward that it will make contact with the servo gears, as thiscould cause damage to the gears and a potential crash.

Additional Smartbind Information

Prior to each light, you should ensure that you power on your transmitter and waitabout ive seconds beore you plug in the light battery into the receiver. Doing thisallows time or the transmitter to scan and secure two open requencies. I the lightbattery is plugged in too quickly and the link is missed, it may cause the receiver toinadvertently enter bind mode. I this occurs simply leave the transmitter on and thendisconnect and reconnect the light battery. Once the light battery is plugged in, putthe helicopter on a horizontal surace as soon as you can (within two seconds) orgyro calibration. Do not move/sway the helicopter during the calibration process.

Failure to do this will cause unstable light perormance.

Ater liting the model o the ground you can balance the throttle by careully movingthe throttle stick up and down so the model will hold a stationary hover withoutclimbing or descending.

Moving the let-hand stick to the let will turn (yaw) the nose o the helicopter to thelet about the axis o the main shat. This is accomplished by increasing the speed othe lower main rotor blade while decreasing the speed o the upper main rotor blade.

Mode 1

Mode 2 Nose Yaw Left

Moving the let-hand stick to the right will turn (yaw) the nose o the helicopter to theright about the axis o the main shat. This is accomplished by increasing the speedo the upper main rotor blade while decreasing the speed o the lower main rotorblade.

Mode 1

Mode 2 Nose Yaw Right

The rudder trim can be used to help keep the nose o the helicopter rom rotating to

the let or right when in hover with no rudder stick input. For example, i the nose othe helicopter drits to the right when in hover, add let rudder trim (by pressing thelet-hand rudder trim button) until the nose stays as close to straight as possible.

Dual Rates

The MLP4DSM transmitter included with your Blade mCX S300 is equipped witha dual rate eature. This eature allows the pilot to toggle between the high andlowcontrolratesavailablefortheaileron,elevatorandrudderchannels.Youcantoggle between the high and low rates by pushing in on the right-hand stick on thetransmitter (while the transmitter is powered on).

Whenthetransmitterisfirstpoweredonitwillbeinthehigh-ratemode.Youcantellyou are in the high-rate mode when the LED on the transmitter glows solid red. Inthe high-rate mode the controls are allowed to reach their maximum values, whichis typically preerred by experienced pilots interested most in maximum controlauthority.

By pushing in on the right-hand stick while in the high-rate mode, you can enterthelow-ratemode.Youcantellyouareinthelow-ratemodewhentheLEDonthetransmitter blinks continuously. The low-rate mode is typically preerred by (andbest or) irst-time, low-time and other pilots interested most in a reduced amount ocontrol that allows or smoother and more easily controlled hovering and lying.

Note: The throttle curve in the low-rate mode is also dierent than it is in thehigh-rate mode. This makes it much smoother and easier to control thethrottle when in the low-rate mode.

Choosing a Flying Area

When you are ready or your irst light, you will want to select a relatively openindoor area that is ree o people and obstructions. And while it is possible orexperienced pilots to ly the Blade mCX S300 in relatively small indoor areas withgreat success due to its size and controllability, we strongly recommend an areawith at least 10-eet by 10-eet o loor space and no less than 8-oot ceilings whenmaking your irst ew lights.

Once you have properly trimmed your helicopter and become amiliar with its

handling and capabilities, you will be able to ly in other smaller, less open areas.

Note: The Blade mCX S300 is designed and intended to be flownINDOORS ONLY.

Flying the Blade mCX S300

Having ollowed the proper 5-in-1 control unit initialization and arming procedures,conirmed proper control o the servos and motors, and ound a suitable lying area,your Blade mCX S300 is ready or light.

Note: In addition to reviewing the flight maneuvers outlined below, werecommend that you watch the Instructional Video located on theproduct page for the Blade mCX S300 on www.horizonhobby.comto see many of these maneuvers and adjustments performed bythe helicopter and pilot.

Liftthemodeloffthegroundjustafewinchesandconcentrateonbalancingthethrottle stick position so that the model holds a steady hover altitude. In somecases it may be best to make a ew short hops to an altitude o just a ew inchesuntil you become amiliar with the control inputs and trim settings required tomaintain a steady hover and altitude.

As you will ind, the Blade mCX S300 requires minor throttle adjustments to maintainits altitude in hover. Remember to keep these throttle adjustments as minimal aspossible as large adjustments could result in a loss o control and/or a possiblecrash.

Whileattemptingtoestablishalow-levelhover,youcanalsochecktoseeifanytrim adjustments are required to help keep the Blade mCX S300 rom constantlydriting in various directions. I you ind the helicopter constantly drits withoutany directional control input, it will be best to land the model beore making anyadjustments to the trim settings. Additional details regarding the location andunction o the trim buttons can be ound in the Understanding the Primary FlightControls section o this manual.

I the nose o the helicopter is driting to the let or right, you will need to adjustthe rudder trim.

I the helicopter is driting orward or backward, you will need to adjust theelevator trim.

I the helicopter is driting to the let or right, you will need to adjust theaileron trim.

Continue to make trim adjustments until the helicopter can hover at a low altitudewith very little driting and directional control input. I the Blade mCX S300 is your

irst helicopter model, it may be best to have the help o an experienced helicopterpilot to trim the model or you beore making your irst light.

OnceyouhavetheBlademCXS300properlytrimmedandmaintainingastablelow-level hover, practice using the rudder, elevator and aileron controls to get aeel or how the helicopter responds to control inputs. Remember to keep thecontrol inputs as minimal as possible to prevent over-controlling the helicopter,especially when in hover.

Ater becoming comortable with hovering the Blade mCX S300 at low-levels oaltitude just a ew inches o the ground, you can transition to hovering and lyingthe helicopter at higher altitudes o approximately three to our eet. At these higheraltitudes you will be able to get a eel or the light characteristics o the Blade mCX

S300 when it is lying out o ground eect.

Ifatanytimeduringflightyoufeellikethehelicopterisdriftingoutofcontrol,simplyreleaseallofthecontrolsexceptforthrottle.Youwillneedtousethethrottle to maintain altitude, but due to the inherent stability o the coaxial, counter-rotating blade design, the Blade mCX S300 will simply return to a stable hover onits own i space allows.

Dontbeafraidtosetthehelicopterdownonthegroundquicklybyloweringthethrottle when approaching walls or other obstacles to help prevent main rotorblade strikes.

IN THE UNFORTUNATE EVENT OF A CRASH OR ROTOR BLADE STRIKE,NO MATTER HOW MINOR OR MAJOR, YOU MUST LOWER THE THROTTLESTICK TO THE LOWEST POSSIBLE POSITION AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TOPREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ESCS OF THE 5-IN-1 UNIT. YOU MUST ALSOBE SURE THAT THE THROTTLE TRIM IS SET TO THE MIDDLE POSITION ORTO A POSITION THAT IS LOWER THAN THE MIDDLE.

Failure to lower the throttle stick to the lowest possible position in the eventof a crash could result in damage to the ESCs in the 5-in-1 unit, which mayrequire replacement of the 5-in-1 unit.

Note: Crash damage is not covered under the warranty.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process o programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (GloballyUnique Identiier) code o a single speciic transmitter. I you ever ind it is necessaryto replace the transmitter or the receiver/5-in-1 unit or your model, it will benecessary or you to bind the new transmitter or receiver/5-in-1 to your existingtransmitter or receiver/5-in-1 or proper operation.

The ollowing steps outline the binding process:
