AERONUTS 

E-FLIGHT BLADE CX 

COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY 
JANUARY 2006 
 

THIS  IS  NOT  AN  OFFICIAL  E-FLIGHT  MANUAL  OR  INSTRUCTION.    IT  IS  BEING  PROVIDED  FOR  INFORMATIONAL  PURPOSES  ONLY.  
AUTHOR ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE 

 USE AT OWN RISK. 

 

 
 
 

 

The  E-Flight  Blade  CX  in  basically  stock  form,  prior  to  disassembly.    You  will  be 
working  with  small  parts  and  screws  that  are  easy  to  lose.    Keep  a  plastic  cup  or 
other container on your work surface to contain screws and/or small parts. 

 

The  only  tool  you  will  absolutely  need  for  the  disassembly  (not  including  mods)  is 
the  precision  Phillips  head  screwdriver  (far  left
)  that  was  supplied  in  the  parts  bag 
with your Blade CX. 
I  prefer  something  with  a  little  more  grip,  so  I  use  a  Stanley  precision  screwdriver 
(center
).    These  are  available  in  a  set  from  just  about  any  retail  store  (got  mine  at 
WalMart). 
You will also find a set of ball link pliers (right
) helpful, although not necessary. 

 

Remove the canopy and slide the two CF rods out of the frame and tail section. 

 

To  remove  skids,  grasp  strut  firmly  against  body  and  gently  pull  strut  from  battery 
holder assembly on bottom of main frame.  Do this for each of the four struts. 

 

Gently slide tail section off of frame and antenna.
