Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Blade® mQX Quad-Copter—a great new Horizon Hobby RC product designed by
experts in RC to make your flying experience as unique as it is rewarding. The mQX comes out of the box completely
assembled and flight tested. If you’ve already moved up through coaxial machines to single-rotor models like the
mSR or 120 SR, you’re going to find the mQX just as stable and predictable. Chances are you’ll feel like a pro after
just a few minutes on the sticks. The mQX also boasts the lightweight durability of carbon fiber propeller shafts and
motor arms. And while it’s certainly small enough to fly indoors, the mQX is also agile enough to fly in the backyard
with a bit of a breeze. You can also adjust its control response rate and sensitivity for extra control authority when
flying indoors or out. And, thanks to 2.4GHz DSM2™ radio technology, you can fly several mQX Quad-Copters with
friends without worrying about radio interference.
Before you get started though, you must read this manual. As simple as the Blade mQX is to fly, it’s still a sophisti-
cated Radio Controlled flying machine that has some features and pre-flight checks you’ll need to become familiar
with before you fly. The manual also has some handy flying tips to make your experience easier and more enjoyable.
