Control Test

Although each Blade mCX2 model is test flown at the factory, you should test the controls prior to the first
flight to ensure none of the servos, linkages or parts were damaged during shipping and handling.
Turn the transmitter on first and lower the throttle stick completely. Then, plug the battery into the battery
lead of the 5-in-1 unit.
Note: The connectors on the battery and battery lead are keyed to prevent reverse polarity connection.
However, if you force them together in the wrong orientation/wrong polarity it is possible to damage the
battery and/or 5-in-1 unit. To help further prevent a reverse polarity connection, one side of the endcap
on the battery and the connector on the battery lead of the 5-in-1 unit have a red dot. The connectors
are oriented for a proper polarity connection when the red dots are on the same side (usually toward
the top of the helicopter).
Mode 2
Position the helicopter to view it from behind. Move the elevator stick on the transmitter forward and aft to
check elevator pitch control. When the stick is pushed forward, the right-hand servo should pull the
swashplate downward.

Mode 1

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
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.
