Control Test
Although each Blade mCX Tandem Rescue model is test flown at the
factory, you should test the controls prior to the first flight to ensure none of
the servo, linkages or parts were damaged during shipping and handling.
Turn the transmitter on first and lower the throttle stick completely. Then, connect
the battery into the battery lead of the 5-in-1 unit.
Note:
The connectors on the battery and battery lead are keyed to prevent
reverse polarity connection. However, if you force them together in the
wrong orientation and with the wrong polarity, it is still possible to damage
the battery and/or 5-in-1 unit. To help further prevent a reverse polarity
connection, one side of the end cap on the battery is raised and the
battery mount of the 5-in-1 unit is keyed. The connectors are oriented for
a proper polarity connection when the raised side of the battery end cap is
on the raised side of the battery mount (usually toward the RIGHT side of
the helicopter, like the photo below).
Mode 2
Mode 1
Position the helicopter to view it from the left-hand side. Move the throttle stick on
the transmitter forward and aft to check elevator pitch control. When the throttle is
pushed forward, the 5-in-1 control unit alters the speeds of the front and rear rotors,
causing the helicopter to move forward.
Mode 1
Mode 2
Helicopter moves forward
With the aileron stick pulled back, the 5-in-1 control unit alters the speeds of the
front and rear rotors, causing the helicopter to move backward.
Mode 1
Mode 2
Helicopter moves backward
Position the helicopter to view it from the left-hand side. Move the aileron stick left
and right to check aileron roll control. When the stick is pushed to the left, the servo
(when viewing the helicopter from behind) should pull the swashplate downward.
Mode 1
Mode 2
With the stick pushed right, the left-hand servo should push the swashplate upward.
