Transmitter and Receiver Range Testing
Because the HP6DSM transmitter features Spektrum 2 .4GHz DSM full range technology, it also features a Range
Test mode that allows you to check and ensure that the transmitter and receiver are offering the required range
for proper and reliable operation .
Before each flying session, and especially with a new model/receiver, it is important to perform a range check . To
perform a range check, the transmitter must be in the range check/reduced power output mode .
You can enter the Range Check Mode by having the transmitter powered on, then pulling the trainer (TRAINER)
switch toward the front of the transmitter . Then, while holding the trainer switch forward, you will need to cycle
the Dual Rate (D RATE) switch from the high position (HI) to the low position (LO) two times (for a total of four Dual
Rate switch position changes) .
After cycling the Dual Rate switch properly while holding the trainer switch, the transmitter should begin to beep .
The transmitter is now in the Range Check Mode, and will continue to beep and remain in this mode until the
trainer switch is released . However, before releasing the trainer switch, it will be necessary to confirm proper
range by completing the following steps:
Note: It is helpful to perform the range check with the help of another person that can confirm proper control
response of the model while it is positioned away from you .
q
With the model resting on the ground, stand 30 paces (approximately 90 feet) away from the model .
q
Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position .
q
You should have total control of the model with the trainer switch pulled at 30 paces (90 feet).
If control issues exist, call the Horizon Support Team at 1-877-504-0233 for further assistance .
Optional Brushless Main Motor Power System Installation and Setup
The Blade CP Pro 2’s separate Spektrum AR6100 receiver and 2-in-1 control unit allow you the option of upgrading
to a brushless main motor power system, without the need for difficult modifications or a new radio system .
An optional brushless main motor power system can provide added power and/or duration when compared to
the stock brushed main motor power system, and is an excellent choice for those interested in maximizing the
performance and aerobatic potential of their model .
We have tested a wide variety of motor types, in a wide range of Kv (rpm/v) values, and gear ratio combinations
in the Blade CP Pro . While many combinations offered a noticeable improvement in power or duration when
compared to the stock brushed motor, we found the following recommended power system combination (and
required supporting accessories) to provide the best balance of power and good flight duration when using the
included 3S 11 .1V 800mAh LiPo battery pack:
Item
Description
EFLA228
JST Female/2 JST Male Parallel Y-Harness
EFLA311B
20-Amp Brushless ESC
EFLM1000
Park 370 Brushless Inrunner Motor, 4100Kv
EFLM1912
Heat Sink, 20x20mm (optional)
EFLM1949
Pinion Gear, 8T 0 .5 Module 2mm ID
EFLRYH3
3” Y-Harness
Note:
It is possible to substitute the recommended 8-tooth pinion (EFLM1949) with a 9-tooth pinion (EFLM1950)
for increased power at the expense of slightly reduced flight duration . However, those interested in maximum
power and performance should substitute the 8-tooth pinion with a 10-tooth pinion (EFLM1951), noting that the
typical “aggressive” flight duration will be approximately 5.0–6.5 minutes per charge using the stock LiPo battery.
Also, reduced flying weight and a similar power-to-weight ratio can be achieved by using a Thunder Power Pro Lite
series 3S 11 .1V 730mAh battery (THP7303SJPL), while improved power and duration can be achieved by using
a Pro Lite series 3S 11 .1V 910mAh battery (THP9103SJPL) . However, please note that the stock charger cannot
be used with the 730mAh battery, and that a 3S 11 .1V Thunder Power to E-flite balance connector adapter cable
(included with EFLA229) is necessary to allow use of the stock charger with the 910mAh battery .
The following steps outline installation and setup of the recommended optional brushless power system:
• In order to provide the most secure motor mounting, and proper clearance for the forward bearing cup in the
main frame, it will be necessary to install the Park 370 brushless motor’s (EFLM1000) included “Adapter Ring .”
• After installing the adapter ring, it will then be necessary to remove the stock brushed main motor from the
main frame in order to trial fit the brushless motor to check for proper placement of the pinion on the brushless
motor’s shaft .
Note: Before removing the stock brushed main motor, we suggest that you check the gear mesh of its pinion
and the main drive gear, in multiple places on the main drive gear, for reference . This is approximately how you
will want to set the pinion and main gear mesh after installing the brushless motor and pinion .
