AR7200BX Parameter Menu Tips
Motor Direction Test
Refer to the Spektrum AR7200BX manual to fi ne tune the Blade 600 X to your
fl ying and control style via the AR7200BX parameter menu.
If you would like to change the control behavior of the fl ybarless system to a
pre-defi ned behavior in the AR7200BX, adjust parameter B (default behavior is
transmitter).
If you would like to have the cyclic behavior to feel more linear OR more like
a fl ybarred helicopter, increase the cyclic response by adjusting parameter G
(default is ‘normal’).
Refer to the Spektrum AR7200BX manual for specifi c details on each
parameter.
Place the helicopter outdoors on a clean, fl at and level surface (concrete or
asphalt) free of obstructions. Always stay clear of moving rotor blades.
1. Power on the transmitter. Make sure TH HOLD is ON and the fl ight mode
switch is in the normal position.
WARNING:
The motor will spin when throttle is increased
and TH HOLD is OFF.
2. Lower the throttle completely.
WARNING:
Stay at least 45 feet (13 meters) away from
the helicopter when the motor is running.
3. Connect the Li-Po battery to the ESC.
4. Turn TH HOLD OFF. Slowly increase the throttle until the drive train begins to
turn. The main blades spin clockwise when viewing the helicopter from the top.
The tail rotor blades spin counterclockwise when viewing the helicopter from
the right-hand side.
NOTICE:
If the drive train does not turn with the motor or spins counterclockwise,
turn TH HOLD ON. Disconnect the battery from the helicopter and reverse any
two motor wire connections to the ESC and repeat the motor control test.
Refer to the Spektrum AR7200BX manual for specifi c details.
