Motor Test
Place the helicopter outdoors on a clean, fl at and level
surface (concrete or asphalt) free of obstructions. Always
stay clear of moving rotor blades.
1. Before you continue, confi rm that TH HOLD is ON. The
motor will emit 5 ascending tones after the helicopter’s
ESC has armed properly.
WARNING:
The motor will spin when the throttle
is increased while TH HOLD is OFF.
WARNING:
Stay at least 30 feet (10 meters) away
from the helicopter when the motor is running. Do
not attempt to fl y the helicopter at this time.
2. Ensure the throttle is lowered completely. Confi rm
the transmitter is still set to normal fl ight mode. Turn
throttle hold OFF to enable throttle control. Slowly
increase the throttle until the blades begin to spin. The
main blades spin clockwise when viewing the helicopter
from the top. The tail rotor blades spin counterclockwise
when viewing the helicopter from the right-hand side.

Pre-Flight Checklist
❏
Check all screws and ensure that they are tight
❏
Check belt tension and ensure that it is not too tight or
too loose
❏
Check main and tail blades to ensure they are not damaged
❏
Check all links and make sure they move freely but do
not pop off easily
❏
Check that the transmitter and fl ight batteries are fully
charged
❏
Check all wires to ensure that they are not cut, pinched,
or chaffed and are properly secured
❏
Check all wire connections
❏
Check gears and make sure no teeth are missing
❏
Make sure fl ight battery is properly secured
❏
Make sure the receiver is properly secured
❏
Perform a complete control test
❏
Verify the fl ight controller is correcting in the proper directions
❏
Check that servos are functioning properly
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fl y your aircraft.
Select a large, open area away from people and objects.
Your fi rst fl ights should be outdoors in low-wind conditions.
Always stay at least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the
helicopter when it is fl ying.
The Blade Fusion 270 is intended to be fl own outdoors by
experienced pilots
Panic Recovery
If you get into distress while fl ying in any mode, push and
hold the Panic Switch and move the control sticks to their
neutral position. SAFE
®
technology will immediately return
the aircraft to an upright level attitude, if the aircraft is at
a suffi cient height with no obstacles in its path. Return the
collective stick to 50% and release the Panic Switch to turn
off Panic Recovery and return to the current fl ight mode.
NOTICE:
Before releasing the panic switch, make
sure the collective stick has been returned to the 50%
position. Once the panic switch has been released, full
negative collective becomes available, which could
cause the helicopter to descend rapidly.
• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the
confi dence to continue to improve their fl ight skills.
• Move the collective stick to 50% and return all other
transmitter controls to neutral for the quickest recovery.
• When panic is activated and once the model has reached a
level upright attitude, the negative collective is reduced to
prevent the user from pushing the model into the ground.
Takeoff
Deliberately increase throttle and establish a hover
at least 24” (0.6 meter) high, outside of ground effect.
CAUTION:
Making large inputs to the roll or pitch
controls while the helicopter is on the ground
may result in a crash.
Flying
The helicopter lifts off the ground when the rotor head
reaches a suitable speed. Establish a low-level hover to
verify proper operation of your helicopter.
First fl ights should be performed in normal mode and low
cyclic and rudder dual rates until you are familiar with the
fl ying manner of the Blade Fusion 270.
CAUTION:
Always fl y the helicopter with your
back to the sun and the wind to prevent loss of
fl ight control.
