Understanding The Primary Flight Controls - Blade MCX2 RTF Manuel D'utilisation

With the rotor blades spinning at a low level of power, move the rudder (left-hand) stick all the way to the
right. This should cause the speed of the upper main rotor blade to increase, and the speed of the lower
main rotor blade to decrease.
Next, move the rudder stick all the way to the left. This should cause the speed of the lower main rotor blade
to increase and the speed of the upper main rotor blade to decrease. If both rotor blades are not responding
properly to rudder input, simply reverse the locations of their motor plugs on the 5-in-1 unit.
With both rotor blades rotating in the correct directions and responding properly to rudder inputs, your
Blade mCX2 is ready for flight. But you will need to review the following sections of the manual BEFORE
proceeding with the first flight.

Understanding the Primary Flight Controls

If you are not familiar with the controls of your Blade mCX2, please take a few
minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.
For Mode 2 transmitters: The left-hand stick on the transmitter controls both throttle (climb/descend) and
rudder (yaw left/right). When the throttle stick is in the lowest possible position and throttle trim is set to the
middle or a lower than the middle position, the main rotor blades will not spin. Advancing the stick upward
increases the speed of the main rotor blades, causing the model to climb.
Decreasing the speed of the main rotor blades by lowering the throttle stick causes the model to descend.
Once the model is off the ground to balance the throttle, carefully move the left-hand stick up and down so
the model holds a stationary hover (without climbing or descending).
Moving the rudder stick to the left turns the nose of the helicopter left about the axis of the main shaft. This
is accomplished by increasing the speed of the lower main rotor blade while decreasing the speed of the
upper main rotor blade.
Moving the stick to the right turns the nose of the helicopter right about the axis of the main shaft. This
is accomplished by increasing the speed of the upper main rotor blade while decreasing the speed of the
lower main rotor blade.
Climb
Use rudder trim to help keep the nose of the helicopter from rotating left or right when in hover with no
rudder stick input. For example, if the nose of the helicopter drifts to the right when in hover, add left rudder
trim (by pressing the left rudder trim button) until the nose stays as close to straight as possible.
The elevator stick controls both elevator (pitch fore/aft) . Push the stick forward to pitch the nose of the
helicopter down and fly forward.
Descend
Pull the stick back to pitch the tail down and fly backward.
