When the Throttle Hold switch is toggled toward the front of the transmitter (position 1), Throttle Hold will be on
(activated) . When Throttle Hold is on, the helicopter will be in the Throttle Hold Flight Mode . In this Flight Mode, the
throttle curve is linear from 0% to 0% . In the case of an electric-powered model like the Blade CP Pro 2, this will
power down the 2-in-1/motors completely .
Toggling the Throttle Hold switch to the on position also allows you to safely power down the 2-in-1/motors any
time the helicopter is not flying . This is particularly helpful as it allows you to safely handle the helicopter, while the
2-in-1 unit is still armed, regardless of the throttle/collective stick and Flight Mode switch positions .
Note: If the Throttle Hold switch is in the on position, and the throttle/collective stick set to anything above the
lowest possible position with the Flight Mode switch set to the normal position, the 2-in-1 /motors will power up
as soon as the Throttle Hold switch is set to the off position . This is also the case regardless of the throttle/
collective stick position when the Flight Mode switch is set to the stunt position. You must exercise extreme care
and caution when switching the Throttle Hold switch to the off position. You should always be in the normal Flight
Mode and have the throttle/collective stick set to the lowest possible position BEFORE switching Throttle Hold off .
Before the First Flight
Although each Blade CP Pro 2 model is factory assembled and tested, you should check the following before
making your first flight:
q
Check the security of all screws on your model . Tighten any screws that may be loose and replace any screws
or other parts that may be stripped
q
Check to be sure that the screws securing the main rotor blades in the blade grips are tightened so the blades
can pivot in the grips when moderate pressure is applied . Never allow the main blades to swing freely in
their grips.
q
Check the security of all the plastic ball link ends on your model . The links should stay attached to the control/
linkage balls even when moderate force is applied . Any link that does not stay attached to the control/linkage
ball should be replaced before flight .
q
Check to be sure that all electronic equipment and wire leads are secure and will not come into contact with any
moving parts .
q
If this is the first test flight, or a test flight following repairs, you will also want to center the rudder, aileron and
elevator trims .
Your Blade CP Pro 2 is now ready for flight.
Choosing a Flying Area
When you are ready for your first flight, you will want to select a large, open area that is free of people and
obstructions . Until you have properly trimmed, adjusted and become familiar with the handling of the
Blade CP Pro 2, we suggest that your first and subsequent test flights be made outdoors in CALM air only .
While it is possible for the Blade CP Pro 2 to be flown indoors, we suggest that it only be in a very large indoor
facility such as a gym that is also free of people and obstructions . The Blade CP Pro 2 is not intended to be
flown in small indoor areas or facilities where it may be possible to fly a coaxial helicopter like the Blade CX or
the Blade CX2 .
Flying the Blade CP Pro 2
Having followed the proper 2-in-1 control unit arming and gyro initialization procedures, confirmed proper control of
the servos and motors, and found a suitable flying area, your Blade CP Pro 2 is ready for flight .
• Slowly raise the throttle stick, increasing the speed of the main rotor blades until the model begins to lift off. Do
not raise the throttle stick too quickly as the model could climb too fast causing you to lose control or make
contact with objects above .
• Lift the model off the ground just a few inches and concentrate on balancing the left-hand (throttle) stick position
so that the model holds a steady hover altitude . In some cases it may be best to make a few short “hops” to
an altitude of just a few inches until you become familiar with the control inputs and trim settings required to
maintain a steady hover and altitude .
As you will find, the Blade CP Pro 2 requires minor throttle/collective pitch adjustments to maintain its altitude in
hover . Remember to keep these adjustments as minimal as possible as large adjustments could result in a loss
of control and/or a possible crash .
Note: If you find your model will not lift off the ground with the throttle stick in the highest position, increasing the
throttle trim will add collective pitch. You can also increase the pitch of the blades by adjusting the pitch control
links . See the “Pitch Curve Adjustments” section of this manual for more information .
