If you decide to use an E-flite LP5DSM transmitter, please position your channel reversal dip switches
as follows:
If you've confirmed proper control operation of your Blade mCX2, unplug the flight battery.
Channel 5 Information
Channel 5 affects rate settings of the 5-in-1 Control Unit.
• I f using the stock MLP4DSM Transmitter, please read Page 21 of this manual for Dual Rate
information.
• I f using an LP5DSM Transmitter, please turn the Channel 5 knob clockwise
completely.
• I f using any other DSMX compatible transmitter, please ensure Channel 5 is set to default servo
reversal and the switch or knob is set to a position that allows full travel control.
Note: This can easily be tested by inducing full cyclic (Aileron/Elevator) input and moving the switch or
knob. There's approximately 10–15% less servo travel depending on what position Channel 5 is in.
5-in-1 Control Unit Description, Arming and Motor Control Test
The unique Control Unit installed on your Blade mCX2 is a lightweight combination of main motor
electronic speed controls, mixer, gyro, servos and Spektrum DSMX compatible receiver. The 5-in-1 unit
is also equipped with a status indicator LED.
The following checklist contains the steps to ensure proper arming and operation of the control unit, as
well as proper motor response:
❏ B efore each flight ALWAYS turn the transmitter on before connecting the flight battery to the
5-in-1 unit. Never connect the flight battery to the 5-in-1 unit before powering the transmitter on
first. After each flight, always disconnect the flight battery from the 5-in-1 unit before powering
the transmitter off.
Note: the only time you should connect the flight battery to the 5-in-1 unit before powering the
transmitter on is when you are binding the receiver of the 5-in-1 unit to the transmitter. Please see the
Transmitter and Receiver Binding section of this manual for more information.
❏ T he throttle stick MUST be set in the lowest possible position, and the throttle trim must be set
to the middle or a lower than middle position (the middleposition is indicated by a longer than
usual beep/tone), in order for the 5-in-1 unit to arm.
