Introduction
Based on the tried and true Blade™ CP platform, the Blade CP Pro adds the lightweight power of a 3-cell 800mAh
Li-Po battery pack, the lightning quick cyclic response of Bell-Hiller mixing and CCPM control, and the upright or
inverted agility of symmetrical main rotor blades. It can also be easily outfitted with a heading lock gyro and a
brushless main motor power system, without the need for a new radio system or difficult modifications.
With aerobatic capability like no other RTF micro helicopter ever available in this class, the Blade CP Pro is
not intended for first- or low-time helicopter pilots. We suggest either the Blade CX (for first-time pilots:
EFLH1200) or the Blade CP (for low-time pilots: EFLH1100) as the Blade CP Pro is intended for experienced
helicopter pilots only.
And although the Blade CP Pro is nearly ready-to-fly right from the box, please take the time to read through this
manual for tips on battery safety and charging, control checks, adjustments and more.
Warning
An RC aircraft is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property. Fly only in open
areas, preferably at AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) approved flying sites, following all instructions included
with your radio.
Keep loose items that can get entangled in the rotor blades away for the main and tail blades, including
loose clothing, or other objects such as pencils and screwdrivers. Especially keep your hands away from
the rotor blades.
Before Starting Assembly
Before starting any final assembly and preparing your Blade CP Pro for flight, remove each component from the
box for inspection. Closely inspect all components for damage. If you find any damaged or missing parts, contact
the place of purchase.
Note on Lithium Polymer Batteries
Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline or Ni-Cd/Ni-MH batteries used in
RC applications. All manufacturer’s instructions and warnings must be followed closely. Mishandling of
Li-Po batteries can result in fire. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when disposing of Lithium
Polymer batteries.
Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make final assembly and preparing for flight easier to understand, and
to provide breaks between each major section.
Remember to take your time and follow all directions.
