Throttle Hold

The HP6DSM transmitter features a throttle hold (TH HOLD) switch. This switch allows the pilot to toggle between throttle
hold off (position 0) and throttle hold on (position 1).
When the throttle hold switch is toggled toward the rear of the transmitter (position 0), throttle hold will be off. When
throttle hold is off, the transmitter will be in the normal or stunt flight mode (depending on the position in which the F MODE
switch is set).
When the throttle hold switch is toggled toward the front of the transmitter (position 1), throttle hold will be on (activated).
Toggling the throttle hold switch to the on position also allows you to safely power down the 2-in-1/motors any time the
helicopter is not flying. This allows you to safely handle the helicopter, while the 2-in-1 unit is still armed, regardless of the
throttle/collective stick and flight mode switch positions.
Note: If the throttle hold switch is in the on position, and the throttle/collective stick is set to anything above the lowest
possible position with the flight mode switch set to the normal position, the 2-in-1 /motors will power up as soon
as the throttle hold switch is set to the off position. This is also the case regardless of the throttle/collective stick
position when the flight mode switch is set to the stunt position. You must exercise extreme care and caution
when switching the throttle hold switch to the off position. You should always be in the normal flight mode and
have the throttle/collective stick set to the lowest possible position BEFORE switching throttle hold off.

Before the First Flight

Although each Blade SR model is factory assembled and tested, you should check the following before making your first
flight.
• Check the security of all screws on your model. Tighten any screws that may be loose and replace any screws or other
parts that may be stripped.
• C heck to be sure that the screws securing the main rotor blades in the blade grips are tightened so the blades can pivot
in the grips when moderate pressure is applied. Never allow the main blades to swing freely in their grips.
• Check the security of all the plastic ball link ends on your model. The links should stay attached to the control/linkage
balls even when moderate force is applied. Any link that does not stay attached to the control/linkage ball should be
replaced before flight.
• Check to be sure that all electronic equipment and wire leads are secure and will not come into contact with any
moving parts.
• If this is the first test flight or a test flight following repairs, you will also want to center the rudder, aileron and
elevator trims.
• Your Blade SR is now ready for flight.

Choosing a Flying Area

When you are ready for your first flight, you will want to select a large, open area that is free of people and obstructions.
Until you have properly trimmed, adjusted and become familiar with the handling of the Blade SR, you should make your first
and subsequent test flights outdoors in CALM air only.
While it is possible for the Blade SR to be flown indoors, we suggest that it only be in a very large indoor facility such as a
gym that is also free of people and obstructions. The Blade SR is not intended to be flown in small indoor areas or facilities
where it may be possible to fly a coaxial helicopter like the Blade CX2 or Blade CX3.

Flying the Blade SR

Having followed the proper 2-in-1 control unit arming and gyro initialization procedures, confirmed proper control of the
servos and motors, and found a suitable flying area, your Blade SR is ready for flight.
• Slowly raise the throttle stick, increasing the speed of the main rotor blades until the model begins to lift off. Do not raise
the throttle stick too quickly as the model could climb too fast causing you to lose control or make contact with objects
above.
• Lift the model off the ground just a few inches and concentrate on balancing the left-hand (throttle) stick position so that
the model holds a steady hover altitude. In some cases it may be best to make a few short "hops" to an altitude of just
a few inches until you become familiar with the control inputs and trim settings required to maintain a steady hover and
altitude.
As you will find, the Blade SR requires minor throttle/collective pitch adjustments to maintain its altitude in hover.
Remember to keep these adjustments as minimal as possible as large adjustments could result in a loss of control and/
or a possible crash.
• While attempting to establish a low-level hover, you can also check to see if any trim adjustments are required to help
keep the Blade SR from constantly drifting in various directions. If you find the helicopter constantly drifts without any
directional control input, it will be best to land the model before making any adjustments to the trim levers. Additional
details regarding the locations and functions of the trim lever can be found in the "Understanding the Primary Flight
Controls" section of this manual.
If the nose of the helicopter is drifting to the left or right, you will need to adjust the rudder trim. You can also adjust the
tail rotor proportional mix if you experience any difficulties in trimming nose drift with the rudder trim lever only. See the
"Tail Rotor Proportional Mix Trimmer Pot Adjustment" section of this manual for more information.
