Blade 600 X Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
AR7200BX will not initialize
The helicopter was moved during initialization
Lay the helicopter on its side during initialization if windy
The transmitter is powered off
Power on the transmitter
Controls are not centered
Center elevator, aileron and rudder controls. Make sure the throttle
is at idle
LED on receiver fl ashes rapidly and
aircraft will not bind to transmitter
(during binding)
Transmitter is too near aircraft during binding process
Power off transmitter, move transmitter a larger distance from air-
craft, disconnect and reconnect fl ight battery to aircraft and follow
binding instructions
Bind switch or button was not held while transmitter
was powered on
Power off transmitter and repeat bind process
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal ob-
ject, wireless source or another transmitter
Move aircraft and transmitter to another location and attempt binding
again
LED on receiver fl ashes rapidly and
aircraft will not respond to transmit-
ter (after binding)
Less than a 5-second wait between fi rst powering on
transmitter and connecting fl ight battery to aircraft
Leaving transmitter on, disconnect and reconnect fl ight battery to
aircraft
Aircraft is bound to a different model memory
(
ModelMatch
TM
radios only)
Select correct model memory on transmitter and disconnect and re-
connect fl ight battery to aircraft
Flight battery/transmitter battery charge is too low
Replace/recharge batteries
Transmitter may have been bound to a different model
(or with a different
DSM
Protocol)
Select the right transmitter or bind to the new one
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal ob-
ject, wireless source or another transmitter
Move aircraft and transmitter to another location and attempt con-
necting again
Helicopter will not respond to the
throttle but responds to other con-
trols
Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim is too high
Lower the throttle stick and lower the throttle trim
The transmitter is not in normal mode or throttle hold
is on
Make sure the transmitter is in normal mode and throttle hold is off
The motor is not connected to the ESC or the motor
wires are damaged
Connect the motor wires to the ESC and check motor wires for dam-
age
Flight battery charge is too low
Replace or recharge fl ight battery
Throttle channel is reversed
Reverse the throttle channel on the transmitter
Helicopter power is lacking
Flight battery has low voltage
Fully charge the fl ight battery
Flight battery is old or damaged
Replace the fl ight battery
Flight battery cells are unbalanced
Fully charge the fl ight battery, allowing the charger time to balance
the cells
Excessive current is being drawn through the BEC
Check all servos and the helicopter motor for damage
Helicopter will not lift off
Main rotor head is not spinning in the correct direc-
tion
Make sure the main rotor head is spinning clockwise. Refer to the
motor control test
Transmitter settings are not correct
Check throttle and pitch curve settings and pitch control direction
Flight battery has low voltage
Fully charge the fl ight battery
Main rotor blades are installed backwards
Install the main rotor blades with the thicker side as the leading
edge
The helicopter tail spins out of
control
Rudder control and/or sensor direction reversed
Make sure the rudder control and the rudder sensor are operating in
the correct direction
Tail servo is damaged
Check the rudder servo for damage and replace if necessary
Tail drive gears are damaged
Replace damaged gears.
Inadequate control arm throw
Check the rudder control arm for adequate travel and adjust if nec-
essary
Torque tube is not fully engaged in tail gears.
Ensure the tail boom and tail gear box are fully seated. Confi rm tail
pushrod length and tail settings on AR7200BX are correct after mak-
ing any changes.
The helicopter wobbles in fl ight
Cyclic gain is too high
Decrease Dial 1 on the AR7200BX
Headspeed is too low
Increase the helicopter's head speed via your transmitter settings
and/or using a freshly charged fl ight pack
Dampers are worn
Replace the main rotor head dampers
