• After becoming comfortable with hovering the Blade™ CX2 at low-levels of altitude just a few inches off the
ground, you can transition to hovering and flying the helicopter at higher altitudes of approximately three to four
feet. At these higher altitudes you will be able to get a feel for the flight characteristics of the Blade CX2 when it
is flying out of “ground effect.”
• If at any time during flight you feel like the helicopter is drifting out of control, simply release all of the controls
except for throttle. You will need to use the throttle to maintain altitude, but due to the inherent stability of the
coaxial counter-rotating blades, the Blade CX2 will simply return to a stable hover on its own if space allows.
• 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. Also, the optional Training Gear Set (EFLH1205) 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.
• IN THE UNFORTUNATE EVENT OF A CRASH OR ROTOR BLADE STRIKE, NO MATTER
HOW MINOR OR MAJOR, YOU MUST LOWER BOTH THE THROTTLE (LEFT-HAND)
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.
Failure to lower both the throttle stick and throttle trim to their lowest possible positions in the event
of a crash could result in damage to the main motor ESCs in the 4-in-1 unit, which may require
replacement of the 4-in-1 unit.
Note: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
• It is extremely important when hovering and flying the Blade CX2 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 CX2, you can attempt more advanced
maneuvers including:
Forward Flight
Backward Flight
Pirouettes
Skidding Takeoffs
Skidding Landings
Spot Landings
