Center of Gravity
Once the battery has been properly installed and secured, you will need to check the helicopter’s center of gravity.
With the canopy installed, lift the helicopter by the flybar with the flybar positioned perpendicular to the tail boom.
Slide the battery support and battery forward or rearward as required to achieve a slightly nose down or perfectly
level helicopter position. You should always check the CG of your Blade™ CP before flying, especially if you are
switching between different sizes and types of battery packs.
Control Test
Although each Blade™ CP model is test flown at the factory, it is a good idea to test the controls prior to the
first flight to ensure none of the servos, linkages or parts were damaged during shipping and handling. Before
proceeding, unplug both the main and tail motor wires from the 4-in-1 control unit making note of their direction
and polarities for proper re-installation after the control test is complete. It is not safe to perform the control test
with the main or tail motor plugged into the 4-in-1 control unit after power up.
