When the “Idle Up” switch is toggled toward the rear of the transmitter, the Blade™ CP Pro will be flying in “Normal
Mode.” In this flight mode, the throttle curve is linear from 0% to 100%, with a pitch range of approximately -1
degree to +12 degrees. (See page 31 for additional data and graphics relating to the throttle and pitch curves
preset for your Blade CP Pro.) This is the preferred flight mode for general hovering and gentle forward flight.
When the “Idle Up” switch is toggled toward the front of the transmitter, the Blade CP Pro will be flying in the
“Stunt (aerobatic)” flight mode. In this flight mode, the throttle curve will be “V” or “Flat-Line” shaped from 100% to
100% with approximately 50% to 100% throttle at mid-stick (the mid-stick throttle percentage value will depend on
where the “Idle Up Throttle Curve Midpoint Adjustment” knob is set, as outlined on pages 27–29). The pitch range
will then be approximately -12 to +12 degrees (See pages 31–32 for additional data and graphics relating to the
throttle and pitch curves pre-set for your Blade CP Pro). This flight mode is preferred for aggressive forward flight
and aerobatics, as well as inverted flying.
Note: When in the Idle Up/Stunt flight mode, even with the throttle stick all the way down, the blades
and motors will continue to spin. You must use the Normal flight mode to safely turn off the motors.
For safety, the 3-in-1 unit will not arm if the flight battery is plugged in and the flight mode switch is in
the Idle Up/Stunt position.
When switching between Normal and Idle Up/Stunt flight modes, it is best to do so in the air while hovering. The
throttle and pitch curves of each flight mode have been optimized to transition smoothly around hover. Please be
sure to never switch into the Idle Up/Stunt mode without having powered the main and tail motors up in Normal
mode first. The abrupt start could cause damage to the gears, motors or possibly even the 3-in-1 unit.
