How To Be A Successful Pilot; Troubleshooting Guide - Horizon Hobby Blade CX4 Manuel D'utilisation

How to be a Successful Pilot

• Read the instruction manual carefully (especially the Troubleshooting section if you're having problems).
• Small, smooth control inputs are best. Quickly moving the stick just produces instability and no real fl ight control.
• Make sure the fl ight battery is fully charged before each fl ight. It's better to run the fl ight battery down to 50% or lower before recharging.
A good, fully charged battery should provide for approximately 8 minutes of fl ight time. If your fl ight time falls below 4 minutes, your battery
may need to be replaced.
• Keep the helicopter dry and clean. Carpet lint, pet hair, dirt, etc, can restrict the motor and controls, giving reduced power and
control response times.
• Make sure the canopy is connected to the mounting posts. A loose canopy will cause the helicopter to shake.
• The helicopter must be sitting motionless to initialize the gyro stabilization system after connecting the fl ight battery. If you are holding the helicop-
ter in your hand or moving it around, it may not initialize properly. Disconnect the fl ight battery, then reconnect the battery and place the helicopter
on the landing skids.
• Make sure that the stabilizer/fl ybar is free to teeter up and down. This is what stabilizes the top rotor system. If the stabilizer/fl ybar is restricted,
your CX4 helicopter will not fl y correctly.

Troubleshooting Guide

Problem
Helicopter throttle will not respond
Rotor blades will not turn
Motor power decreases
during flight
Climb rate is greatly reduced
Helicopter vibrates or shakes in fl ight
Helicopter climbouts are slow and/or
nose turns while climbing/descending
Failure to Bind
EN
Possible Cause
Throttle at high position
Low battery voltage
Receiver uses default soft Low
Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Low battery voltage
Damaged rotor blades or fl ybar
Rotor drive gears are dirty, have hair in them,
etc
Trying to bind while the transmitter is too close
to the helicopter
10
Solution
Fully lower the throttle stick
for 3 seconds
Completely recharge fl ight battery
Recharge flight battery or replace battery that is no
longer performing
Recharge fl ight battery. Replace the fl ight battery if
necessary
Check the main rotor blades and rotor head compo-
nents for cracks or chips. Replace all damaged parts.
Always replace rotor blades as a pair and always select
blades from the same package.
Clean the rotor gearing with a dry toothbrush and re-
move any dust or hair that may have accumulated
Hold the transmitter 6–10 feet
(2–3 meters) away from the helicopter while binding.
