Gain Adjustments

• The gyro's yellow-colored auxiliary (AUX) lead and connector will not be plugged into the receiver. This is not a problem as the gyro
will always be in the heading lock mode and the gain value can be set using the gain value adjustment pot located on the gyro itself.
• After making the initial test fl ight, you may fi nd that it is necessary to
adjust the gyro gain setting value. The goal, when using a heading
lock gyro, is to fi nd the highest gain setting value at which the tail of
the helicopter does not twitch quickly from side to side in all areas of
fl ight. In the case of the G110 in the Blade SR, it is typical to have the
gain setting adjustment pot set as shown below, which is only a few
degrees off of full counterclockwise.
• Small, air swooshing noises along with a small amount of movement
side to side is normal for a direct-drive tail system, like that found on
the Blade SR. Don't confuse this for a gain setting that is too high.
Note: If the tail spins in one direction or the other as you are trying to
lift off, please check the gyro gain. It may be adjusted too high
or too low.

Trim Adjustments

During fl ight, it may be necessary to make some small adjustments to the rudder trim in order to prevent the nose/tail of the model from
"drifting" to the left or right when the rudder stick is in the neutral position. Typically, only a small amount of adjustment may
be necessary.
Note: Avoid sudden temperature and environmental condition changes when using a gyro. It is best to not fl y a model on a very hot
(or cold) day immediately after removing it from an air-conditioned (or heated) vehicle. Keep the gyro out of direct sunlight and
away from any heat-generating sources on the model.
To help the gyro better acclimate to temperature and environmental conditions at the fl ying fi eld, let your Blade SR stand in the environ-
ment for approximately 10–15 minutes before fl ying, allowing the temperature of the gyro sensor to stabilize. If you do not allow the
temperature to stabilize, you may experience radical trim changes that require signifi cant adjustments of the rudder trim during fl ight.

Servo Mode Setting

The G110 is equipped with a switch and software that allows its performance to be optimized for use with most analog and some digital
servos. The servo mode selection switch is found on the side of the gyro.
The Blade SR uses an ESC and motor to control the tail. You must be certain that the servo mode selection switch on the gyro is set
to standard servo mode to ensure proper response and performance of the gyro. If it is set to digital servo mode, the electronic speed
control and tail motor will not respond properly to inputs from the gyro or transmitter. This could even cause failure of the motor, ESC
or both.

Dual Rates

The HP6DSM transmitter included with your
Blade SR features a dual rate (D RATE)
switch. This switch allows the pilot to toggle
between the high (HI) and low (LO) control
rates available for the aileron, elevator and
rudder channels.
If the Blade SR is your fi rst single-rotor
and/or collective-pitch equipped helicopter
model, we strongly recommend that you
make your fi rst fl ights with the dual rates set
to low.
Toggling the switch toward the front of the
transmitter (position LO) allows the control rates to achieve their lowest maximum values. This is typically the preferred rate for low-time
and other pilots interested most in a reduced amount of control that allows for smoother and more easily controlled hovering and fl ying.
