Introduction
The Blade CP is a true breakthrough in micro class electric helicopters. Collective pitch and CCPM (Cyclic/
Collective Pitch Mixing) deliver smooth, solid control for all types of flying indoors and out, in a convenient,
ready-to-fly package. Features—such as pre-installed servos and a 4-in-1 control unit with receiver, mixer, ESCs,
and gyro, main and tail motors—have the Blade CP flying in no time. With the included 6-channel FM transmitter
featuring servo reversing, CCPM mixing and idle up flight mode switch, you’ll have precise control for hover,
forward flight and more. The Blade CP can also be upgraded for inverted flight and more aggressive aerobatic
performance using symmetrical blades and 3-cell Lithium Polymer battery packs.
While the Blade CP is nearly ready-to-fly right from the box, please take the time to read through this manual
completely for tips on battery charging, control adjustments, blade tracking and more.
