If at any time during the test the controls respond in the opposite direction, it may 

be necessary to reverse/change the direction of operation of the flight controls. 

Follow these steps to change the direction of the various flight controls:

•  Be certain that the battery is disconnected from the battery lead of the 5-in-1 

control unit and the transmitter is turned off.

•  Push down on the appropriate digital trim button on the transmitter for the control 

you would like to change the direction of. For example:

 

Top elevator trim button—elevator channel normal 

 

Bottom elevator trim button—elevator channel reversed 

 

Left aileron trim button—aileron channel normal 

 

Right aileron trim button—aileron channel reversed 

•  Continue to hold the appropriate trim button while turning the transmitter on.

•  Hold the digital trim button down for approximately five seconds, until a series of 

beeps/tones are heard confirming the selection.

•  Connect the battery to the 5-in-1 and complete the flight control test, confirming 

that all controls are operating in the correct directions. 

If you decide to use an E-flite LP5DSM or HP6DSM transmitter, please position your 

channel reversal dip switches as follows:

  LP5DSM Transmitter   

 

 HP6DSM Transmitter

 

   

Note:

  Keep a record of the existing settings in case you want to go back and fly 

your other aircraft.

Once you’ve reconfirmed the flight control directions, all controls should be 

functioning properly. However, if you continue to encounter any problems with your 

Blade mCX S300 responding properly to the transmitter, do not fly. Call the Horizon 

Support Team at 1-877-504-0233.

5-in-1 Control Unit Description, Arming and Motor Control Test

The unique 5-in-1 Control Unit installed on your Blade mCX S300 is a lightweight 

combination of main motor electronic speed controls, mixer, gyro, servos and 

Spektrum DSM2 compatible receiver. The 5-in-1 unit is also equipped with a status 

indicator LED.

The following checklist contains the steps you must follow to ensure proper arming 

and operation of the 5-in-1 unit, as well as proper motor response.

•  Each time before you fly you should ALWAYS turn the transmitter on 

before connecting the flight battery to the 5-in-1 unit. Never connect the 

flight battery to the 5-in-1 unit before powering the transmitter on first. 

After each flight, be sure that you always disconnect the flight battery 

from the 5-in-1 unit before powering the transmitter off.

    

 Note:  The only time you should connect the flight battery to the 5-in-1 

unit before powering the transmitter on is when you are binding 

the receiver of the 5-in-1 unit to the transmitter. Please see the 

Transmitter and Receiver Binding section of this manual for more 

information.

•  The throttle stick MUST be set in the lowest possible position, and the 

throttle trim must be set to the middle or a lower-than-middle position (the 

middle position is indicated by a longer-than-usual beep/tone), in order for 

the 5-in-1 unit to arm.
