Flying the Blade CX (continued)
• Don’t be afraid to set the helicopter down on the ground quickly by lowering the throttle when approaching walls
or other obstacles to help prevent main rotor blade strikes. The optional Training Gear Set (EFLH1205) shown
in the “Before the First Flight” section of this manual (page 18–21) will help to further prevent damage to the
helicopter in the event that you must make an abrupt landing to avoid walls or other obstacles.
• I n the unfortunate event of a crash or rotor blade strike, no matter how minor or major, you MUST
lower both the throttle stick and throttle trim to their lowest possible position as quickly as possible
to prevent damage to the ESCs of the 4-in-1 unit.
• It is extremely important when hovering and flying the Blade CX to be aware of the power level
of the Li-Po battery pack. If at any time the helicopter begins to require more throttle than typical
to maintain hover or flight, or has lost the ability to maintain hover or flight due to significant loss
of power, you must land the helicopter and power the motors down IMMEDIATELY to prevent
over-discharge of the Li-Po battery pack. If you continue to run the motors after noticing a loss
in power it is possible to discharge the Li-Po battery pack too far, causing permanent damage to
the pack. Over-discharge of the Li-Po battery pack can result in shortened flight times, loss of power
output or failure of the pack entirely.
• Once you have gained experience and confidence in hovering the Blade CX, you can attempt more advanced
maneuvers including:
Forward Flight
Backward Flight
Pirouettes
Skidding Take Offs
Skidding Landings
Spot Landings
