Introduction

Your Blade®SR is the absolute best way to transition from flying a coaxial heli to a single-rotor CCPM machine with

confidence and, most importantly, success. It comes out of the box programmed to provide softer climb, pitch and roll

response around the center of stick movement. This, combined with the tough, two-piece main frame and lower head

speed, makes the Blade SR more forgiving and easier to master than most conventional CP helis. Plus, it’s big enough

to fly outdoors even if there’s a little wind.

But before you take that first flight, read through this manual thoroughly. It includes vital information on safely charging

the battery, proper pre-flight control checks and adjustments, and many other tips that will help make your first flight a

successful one.

Warning

An RC helicopter is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property. Fly only in open

areas, preferably at AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) approved flying sites, following all instructions.

Keep items that can get entangled in the rotor blades away from the main and tail blades, including loose clothing,

pencils and screwdrivers. Especially keep your hands away from the rotor blades.

Note on Lithium Polymer Batteries

Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline or Ni-Cd/Ni-MH batteries used in RC applications.

All manufacturer’s instructions and warnings must be followed closely. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in fire.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when disposing of Lithium Polymer batteries.

Using the Manual

This manual is divided into sections to help make final assembly and flight preparation easier to understand and to

provide breaks between each major section. Remember to take your time and follow all directions.

Safety Precautions and Warnings

As the user of this product, you are solely responsible for operating it in a manner that does not endanger yourself and

others or result in damage to the product or the property of others.

This model is controlled by a radio signal that is subject to interference from many sources outside your control. This

Battery Warnings and Guidelines

The 3S 11.1V 1000mAh Lithium Polymer Battery Pack (EFLB0997) included with your Blade SR features

Charge Protection Circuitry and Balance Charging via the included 3S 11.1V Lithium Polymer Balancing

Charger (EFLC3105). However, to help ensure a safe charge every time, you MUST read the following

safety instructions and warnings before handling, charging or using the Li-Po battery pack.

Note: Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly more volatile than the alkaline, Ni-Cd or

Ni-MH batteries used in RC applications. All instructions and warnings must be followed

exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in fire.

By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery you assume all risks associated with lithium

batteries. If you do not agree with these conditions, return your complete Blade SR model in new, unused

condition to the place of purchase immediately.

• Youmustchargetheincluded3S11.1V1000mAhLi-Pobatterypackinasafeareaawayfromflammable

materials.

• Donotchargethebatterywheninstalledinthehelicopter.

• Neverchargethebatteryunattended.Whenchargingthebatteryyoushouldmonitorthechargingprocess

and react to potential problems that may occur.

• Afterflight,thebatterymustbecooledtoambienttemperaturebeforecharging.

• You MUST use the included 3S 11.1V Li-Po Balancing Charger ONLY. Failure to do so may result in a

fire causing personal injury and/or property damage. DO NOT use an Ni-Cd or Ni-MH charger.

• Ifatanytimeduringthechargeordischargeprocessthebatterybeginstoballoonorswell,discontinue

charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open

area away from flammable materials to observe it for at least 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge

a battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A battery that has ballooned or swollen even

a small amount must be removed from service completely.

• Intheeventofacrash,youmustquicklyandsafelydisconnectandremovethebatteryfromthemodel,then

place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe it for at least 15 minutes.

• Storethebatteryatroomtemperatureatapproximately½charge(3.8Vpercell;11.4Vfora3Sbattery

pack) for best results.

• Whentransportingortemporarilystoringthebattery,thetemperaturerangeshouldbefrom40–120degrees

Fahrenheit. Do not store the battery or model in a car or direct sunlight whenever possible. If stored in a hot

car, the battery can be damaged or even catch fire.

• Donotover-dischargethebattery.Dischargingthebatterytoolowcancausedamagetothepack

resulting in reduced performance and duration.

Li-Po cells should not be discharged to below 3V each under load. In the case of the 3S Li-Po

packs used for the Blade SR, you will not want to allow the battery to fall to below 9V during flight.

The Blade SR’s 2-in-1 control unit does not feature a voltage cutoff of any type, so we suggest

that you be extremely aware of the power level of the Li-Po battery pack during flight. If at any

time the helicopter begins to require more throttle than typical to maintain hover or flight, or has

lost significant power, you must land the helicopter and power the motors down IMMEDIATELY to

prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po battery pack. If you continue to run the motors after noticing

a loss in power, it is possible to discharge the Li-Po battery pack too far, causing permanent

damage to the pack.

Over-discharge of the Li-Po battery pack can result in shortened flight times, loss of power output

or failure of the pack entirely.

Ifyouhaveanyfurtherquestionsorconcernsregardingthehandling,chargingand/oruseoftheincludedLi-Pobattery

pack, please contact Horizon Hobby’s Product Support Team at 877-504-0233, Horizon Hobby UK at

Battery Charging

It is important that you only charge the included 3S 11.1V 1000mAh Li-Po Battery Pack (EFLB0997) with the included

3S11.1VLi-PoBalancingCharger(EFLC3105).YourbatterypackisequippedwithspecialChargeProtectionCircuitry

and a Balance Charge Lead with connector that is only compatible with this charger. Attempting to charge the pack

using another Li-Po charger or non Li-Po compatible charger could result in serious damage. Please familiarize yourself

thoroughly with the Battery Warnings and Guidelines section before continuing.

The included 3S 11.1V Li-Po Balancing Charger will charge a near fully discharged (not over-discharged) 3S 11.1V

1000mAhLi-PoBatteryPackinapproximately1.2–1.5hours.Insomecasesthechargetimemaybeshorter

depending on the actual amount of capacity left in the pack after a flight. NEVER charge the battery unattended.

Note: The Li-Po battery pack included with your Blade SR will arrive partially charged. For this reason the initial

chargemayonlytakeapproximately30–50minutes.

Thechargerrequiresupto1.5ampsof11.5–15-voltDCinputpowerthatcanbesuppliedbytheincludedACto12V

DC, 1.5-amp Power Supply (EFLC4000) for convenient charging anywhere an AC outlet is available. NEVER attempt to

power the charger from an AC outlet without the use of a proper AC to DC adapter/power supply.

Note: When using the AC to DC adapter/power supply, the charger is protected to prevent damage if the

alligator clips touch. However, please take care to ensure that the alligator clips do not cause shorting of

the battery, adapter/power supply, etc. by keeping them clear.

Input power for the charger can also be supplied from a small 12-volt gel cell or car battery.

ThechargerisequippedwithtwoLEDindicatorsmarkedREDandGREENonthelabel.TheseLEDsindicatethe

following (also found on the label of the charger):

• Red Flashing LED Only: Input power with no battery connected

• Red and Green Solid LED: Battery connected and charging

• Red Solid LED Only: Charge complete

• Red and Green Flashing LED: Charge error

Once you have connected the charger to a power source (use care to ensuring proper polarity when connecting the

charger to the power source), its red LED flashes to indicate the charger has power and is ready to begin charging.

Connect the Li-Po battery pack to the charger using the specially marked Balance Charge Lead exiting the battery pack

and the connector labeled with 11.1V on the charger. The connector is keyed to prevent reverse polarity connection.

When the battery is properly connected and charging normally, the red and green LED indicators will glow solid. Once

the battery has been fully charged, the green LED will go out, leaving just the red LED glowing solid. The battery can

now be removed from the charger and installed into the Blade SR for flight.

Charge Errors and Indications

In the event that both the red and green LEDs flash, a charge error has occurred. Some examples of charge errors and

their indications include:

• AlternatingflashingoftheredandgreenLEDsindicatesthatthechargeprocesshasbeeninterrupted.Ifinput

power to the charger has been interrupted due to disconnection from the power source or a drop in voltage/

current output from the power source, unplug the battery from the charger. Next, check to make sure that

the input power plug from the AC to 12V DC adapter/power supply is connected or that the alligator clips are

firmly and properly attached to the power source. Also be sure that the power source is providing the proper

amountofvoltageandcurrentrequiredtothecharger.

After confirming the connections and that the power source is delivering the necessary voltage and current,

restart the charging process by connecting the battery pack. Continue to monitor the charging process to

ensure that no further charge errors occur.

• SimultaneousflashingoftheredandgreenLEDsindicatethatthevoltageoftheLi-Pobatterypackistoo

low to allow the charging process to begin. In this case the battery may have been over-discharged due to

flying the model too long, or a single cell or even all cells in the battery pack may be damaged. (For more

information on preventing over-discharge of the Li-Po battery pack, see the Battery Warnings and Guidelines

section.)

If after several charging attempts you continue to see this charge error indication, you should remove the

battery pack from service and replace it with a new one.

Control Test

Although each Blade SR 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. Before proceeding, unplug the three

bullet connectors between the main motor and ESC and tail motor from the 2-in-1 control unit. It is not safe to perform

the control test with the main or tail motor plugs connected to the 2-in-1 control unit after power up.

Turn the transmitter on first and lower the throttle stick and trim completely. Then, plug the battery into the battery lead

of the 2-in-1 unit.

Mode 2 Mode 1

Position the helicopter to view it from the left or right side. Move the left-hand stick up and down to check the collective

pitch control. When the stick is pushed up, the swashplate should lower, increasing the pitch of the main blades.

Mode 2 Mode 1

With the stick pulled back down, the swashplate should raise, decreasing the pitch of the main blades.

Mode 2 Mode 1

Again viewing the helicopter from the left or right side, move the right-hand stick forward and aft to check elevator pitch

control. When the stick is pushed forward, the swashplate should also tilt forward.

Mode 2 Mode 1

With the stick pulled back, the swashplate will tilt toward the rear.
