Blade 120 SR RTF/BNF Introduction
The sub-micro Blade
®
120 SR is a great way to graduate from coaxial helicopters to fixed-pitch single-rotor
helicopters. Its unique Bell-Hiller head design lets you enjoy the extra speed and agility of a single-rotor heli without
giving up a lot of the self-stabilizing characteristics you might be used to. The 120 SR also boasts the lightweight
durability of a carbon fiber main shaft and tail boom. And while it’s certainly small enough to fly indoors, the 120 SR
is big enough to fly in the backyard with a bit of a breeze. You can also adjust its control response rate and control
sensitivity for extra control authority when flying outdoors.
The Blade 120 SR ready-to-fly (RTF) model can be up and flying in the time it takes to charge the battery.
The Blade 120 SR bind-and-fly (BNF) model can be up and flying in the time it takes to charge the battery and bind
it to your transmitter.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any difficulties with your Blade120 SR please refer to the troubleshooting guide at the back of the
manual. If you still encounter difficulties, see page 19 to contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
