First Flight Preparation; Flying Checklist; Low Voltage Cutoff (Lvc); Transmitter Setup - Horizon Hobby BNF Basic Blade 270 CFX Manuel D'utilisation

First Flight Preparation

• Remove and inspect contents
• Begin charging the fl ight battery (not included)
• Install the fl ight battery in the helicopter
(once it has been fully charged)
• Program your computer transmitter
• Bind your transmitter
• Familiarize yourself with the controls
• Find a suitable area for fl ying

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

When the battery reaches 18V under load, the ESC will
continuously lower power to the motor until complete
shutdown. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po
battery. Land immediately when the ESC activates LVC.
Continuing to fl y after LVC can damage the battery, cause
a crash or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged due
to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.

Transmitter Setup

Program your transmitter before attempting to bind or fl y
the helicopter. Transmitter programming values are shown
below for the Spektrum DX6i, DX7s, DX6, DX7, DX8, DX9
and DX18.
The fi les for models using Spektrum™ transmitters with
AirWare™ software are also available for download online
at www.spektrumrc.com.

Flying Checklist

❏ Always turn the transmitter on fi rst
❏ Plug the fl ight battery into the lead from the ESC
❏ Allow the ESC to initialize and arm properly
❏ Fly the model
❏ Land the model
❏ Unplug the fl ight battery from the ESC
❏ Always turn the transmitter off last
Repeatedly fl ying the helicopter until LVC activates will
damage the helicopter battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft
after use to prevent trickle discharge. During storage, make
sure battery charge does not fall below
3V per cell.
SAFE ® Panic Feature Programming
Adjustment of the SAFE
with the gyro gain adjustment. On the "GYRO" screen in
the transmitter, there are two values, POS 0 and POS 1.
The value for POS 0 represents the tail gyro heading hold
gain. The further this positive value is away from 0 (0 to
+100), the higher the tail gyro gain.
The value for POS 1 represents the SAFE gain. The further
this negative value is away from 0 (0 to -100), the more
aggressively SAFE will recover the helicopter in a "panic"
situation.
The gain values presented in this transmitter set up
sheet are a starting point we found worked well for most
situations.
