AR7200BX Default Blade 450 X Setup
* The AR7200BX included with your Blade 450 X helicopter is pre-programmed with these default settings. If you perform a factory reset on the included AR7200BX
will default back to these helicopter settings.
To perform a Blade 450 X AR7200BX factory reset, enter any Setup menu and press the setup button for 10 seconds. After performing the factory reset, you will need to
re-center the swashplate servos by using setup menu G.
If you update the firmware on the AR7200BX to non-Blade 450 X firmware, all Blade 450 X helicopter default settings will be deleted. You will need to com-
plete the entire AR7200BX setup process before flying the helicopter again. Please refer to the Spektrum AR7200BX instruction manual included with your
helicopter for more information.

AR7200BX Parameter Menu Tips
Refer to the Spektrum AR7200BX manual to fine tune the Blade 450 X to your fly-
ing and control style via the AR7200BX parameter menu.
If you would like to change the control behavior of the flybarless system to a
pre-defined behavior in the AR7200BX, adjust parameter B (default behavior is
transmitter).
If you would like to have the cyclic behavior to feel more linear OR more like a
flybarred helicopter, increase the cyclic response by adjusting parameter G (default
is ‘slightly increased’).
Refer to the Spektrum AR7200BX manual for specific details on each parameter.
