1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest
settings.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Install the fl ight battery in the battery holder. Connect
the battery cable to the 3-in-1 control unit.
NOTICE:
Do not allow the helicopter to move until the
blue LED on the 3-in-1 control unit is solid.
NOTICE:
Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the
3-in-1 control unit of the aircraft when not fl ying. Failure
to do so will render the battery unusable.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fl y your aircraft.
Select a large, open area
away from people and objects. The Blade Nano CP X can fl y outdoors on a calm day or indoors in a gymnasium.
CAUTION:
Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the Blade Nano CP X primary controls be-
fore attempting your fi rst fl ight. The Blade Nano CP X is more responsive than other Blade micro helicopters
like the Blade mSR. Seek help from an experienced pilot if you are new to collective pitch helicopters.
Takeoff
Gradually increase the throttle to allow the helicopter time to increase rotor head speed.
NOTICE:
Do not give any aileron, elevator or rudder commands before takeoff or the helicopter may crash.
Flying
The helicopter lifts off the ground when the rotor head reaches a suitable speed, and you apply collective pitch.
Establish a low-level hover to verify proper operation of your helicopter.
For pilots new to collective pitch helicopters, familiarize yourself with your Nano CP X in normal mode and at low
rate. As you become more familiar with the helicopter’s response, adjust the rates, expo, pitch and throttle curves to
suit your fl ying style.
NOTICE:
Always fl y the helicopter with your back to the sun to prevent loss of fl ight control.
Landing
Establish a low level hover. Slowly lower the throttle until the helicopter lands. Make only small control corrections
during this time to avoid rotor blade strikes or other damage.
NOTICE:
To minimize damage, always activate throttle hold in preparation for or during a crash.

Installing the Flight Battery
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Low voltage cutoff (LVC) protects the Li-Po battery from overdischarge in fl ight and activates when the battery reaches 3V
per cell under load. Set your transmitter timer for 4 minutes and land when the timer expires.
LVC Precautions and Guidelines
• Repeatedly activating LVC damages the fl ight battery and you will need to replace the battery.
• Always unplug the Li-Po battery from the fl ybarless unit at the end of each fl ight. Failure to unplug the Li-Po battery
during storage will over-discharge the battery and will prevent it from charging in the future.
• LVC does not protect the battery from over-discharge during storage.
• The warranty does not cover crash damage or battery damage.
