Control Test (continued)

If at any time during the test the controls do not respond properly, double-check the servo reversing switches on 
the transmitter. They should be positioned as follows:
AIL – NOR

ELE – REV

THR – NOR

RUD – REV

If the controls still do not respond properly after ensuring the servo reversing switch positions are correct, you 
may also check the servo connections to the receiver of the 4-in-1 unit. These should be positioned as follows 
(when viewing the helicopter from behind):
Channel 1 – Right-hand rear “aileron” servo

Channel 2 – Forward “elevator” servo

Channel 6 – Left-hand rear “pitch” servo

Once you have confirmed proper reversing switch and servo connection locations, all controls should be 
functioning properly. If you do encounter any problems with your Blade CP responding properly to the transmitter, 
do not fly. Call Horizon’s Product Support staff at 1-877-504-0233. 

If you have confirmed proper control operation of your Blade CP, re-connect the main and tail motor wires to the  
4-in-1 unit taking note to keep the proper polarity and location of each as they were before the test.
