Moving the aileron stick to the left will roll the helicopter to the left, allowing the
helicopter to be flown sideways towards the left when viewing the helicopter
from behind.

Mode 2
Helicopter Slides Left
Moving the aileron stick to the right will roll the helicopter to the right, allowing the
helicopter to be flown sideways towards the right when viewing the helicopter
from behind.
Note: This command does not cause the nose of the helicopter to turn! Rather,
it causes the helicopter to bank, and then slide left or right. Use of the
rudder stick (the left stick) is required to point the nose of the helicopter in
the desired direction.
Mode 1
Mode 2
Helicopter Slides Right
The aileron trim can be used to help keep the helicopter from drifting left or right
when in hover with no aileron stick input. For example, if the helicopter drifts to
the right when in hover, add left aileron trim until the helicopter hovers as level as
possible with no drifting to the right.
Once you’re familiar with the primary controls of the helicopter, you are almost ready
to fly.
Dual Rates
The MLP4DSM transmitter included with your Blade mSR is equipped with a dual rate
feature. This feature allows the pilot to toggle between the high and low control rates
available for the aileron, elevator and rudder channels. You can toggle between the
high and low rates by pushing in on the right-hand stick on the transmitter (while the
transmitter is powered on).
When the transmitter is first powered on it will be in the high-rate mode. You can tell
you are in the high-rate mode when the LED on the transmitter glows solid red. In
the high-rate mode the controls are allowed to reach their maximum values, which
is typically preferred by experienced pilots interested most in maximum control
authority.
By pushing in on the right-hand stick while in the high-rate mode, you can enter
the low-rate mode. You can tell you are in the low-rate mode when the LED on the
transmitter blinks continuously. The low-rate mode is typically preferred by (and
best for) first-time, low-time and other pilots interested most in a reduced amount of
control that allows for smoother and more easily controlled hovering and flying.
Note: You may be required to make slight trim changes when switching back and
forth between low and high rates.
Choosing a Flying Area
When you are ready for your first flight, you will want to select a relatively open
indoor area that is free of people and obstructions. And while it is possible for
experienced pilots to fly the Blade mSR in relatively small indoor areas with great
success due to its size and controllability, we strongly recommend an area with at
least 10-feet by 10-feet of floor space and no less than 8-foot ceilings when making
your first few flights.
Once you have properly trimmed your helicopter and become familiar with its
handling and capabilities, you will be able to fly in other smaller, less open areas.
Note: The Blade mSR is designed to be flown INDOORS and can be
successfully flown OUTDOORS by an EXPERIENCED PILOT with
CALM WIND CONDITIONS UP TO 5 MPH.
