EN ! BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY! Many of the major sub-assemblies of the Blade Fusion 480 kit have been pre-assembled at the factory. These sub-assemblies were not assembled with thread-locking compound. Prior to beginning assembly of the kit, loosen any pre-assembled screws which are threaded into metal components and apply thread-locking compound. Use only enough thread-locking compound to moisten the threads. Check all pre-assembled components to ensure all fasteners are tight.
EN Step H3 1. Snap the follower arms onto two opposite linkage balls on the upper swashplate. 2. Adjust the length of the rotor head linkages to 55mm from center to center of the link openings. 55mm 3. Snap the rotor head linkages onto the main grip linkage balls. 4. Snap the other end of the linkages to the remaining linkage balls of the upper swashplate. Step H4 1. Adjust the length of the rotor head linkages to 68mm from center to center of the link openings. 2.
EN Step F2 1. Attach the upper and lower bearing blocks to the frame sides using 3x10mm screws, machined washers and medium thread-locking compound. The upper block has two threaded holes in the rear of the block. Do not fully tighten the screws in the bearing blocks at this time. 2. Slide the main shaft through both bearing blocks to ensure the blocks are properly aligned with each other. 3. Set the frame sides upright on a flat surface, with the bottom of both sides fully in contact with the work surface.
EN Step F4 1. Remove the 3x18mm socket head cap screws of the tail belt guide assembly and re-install them using medium thread-locking compound. Ensure the thread-locking compound does not contact the bearings of the tail guide assembly. 2. Install the tail belt guide between the frame sides using 3x10mm screws and medium thread-locking compound. Step F5 Thread the tail belt through the belt guide with the teeth of the belt facing inward.
EN Step F5 1. Pull the tail belt pulley off of the one-way bearing sleave. Remove ten 2x4mm flathead screws from the tail drive pulley one at a time and re-install them using medium thread-locking compound. 2. Remove five 3x6mm flathead screws one at a time from the main gear and re-install them using medium thread-locking compound. Re-install the tail belt pulley on the one-way bearing sleave, ensuring the hole in the pulley aligns with the holes in the sleave. 3.
EN Step F7 1. If using the recommended speed control, attach the speed control mount, included with the speed control, to the bottom side of the battery plate. Secure a hook and loop strap between the battery plate and the speed control mount, as shown. Hook and loop strap 2. Clip the speed control in the speed control mount. 3. Connect the motor leads to the speed control. Hook and loop straps 4.
EN Step F8 Prepare three cyclic servos as follows: 20mm Rotor head removed for clarity 1. Center the servos using either your receiver or a servo tester. 2. Attach the servo arm in the position shown, perpendicular to the servo case, using the screw provided with the servo and medium thread-locking compound. 3. Attach the linkage ball to the outer servo arm location using an M2 nut. 4.
EN Tail Assembly (T) Step T1 1. Slide two front tailboom mounts over the front of the tail boom. The Blade® logo is towards the front of the tailboom. 2. Attach the mounts to the tailboom using one M3x6mm button head screw per mount and medium thread-locking compound, into the holes in the top of the tailboom. 3. Loosely insert a 3x12mm screw and locknut into the bottom of each mount. Do not use thread-locking compound. Do not fully tighten. 4. Insert the free end of the tail belt through the tailboom.
EN Tail Assembly (T) Step T2 1. Slide the tail pushrod guide onto the tailboom. The guide should be located approximately in the center of the tailboom. 2. Slide two rear tailboom mounts over the tailboom. 3. Attach the mounts using two 3x6mm button head screws per mount and medium thread-locking compound, into the holes on either side of the tailboom. 4. Loosely insert one 3x10mm socket head capscrew with medium thread-locking compound in the top of each mount as shown. Step T3 1.
EN Tail Assembly (T) Step T4 1. Remove the tail grip retention screws and linkage balls and re-install them using medium threadlocking compound. Ensure the thread-locking compound does not contact the tail grip bearings. 2. Insert the tail shaft into the tail rotor hub assembly. 3. Lock the tail shaft into place with a M4x4mm setscrew and high strength thread-locking compound. Ensure the setscrew contacts the flat area machined into the tail shaft. 4.
EN Tail Assembly (T) Step T6 1. Check the belt tension just behind the main gear at the rear of the side plate opening. Push inward on the belt from the side with moderate pressure. The belt should not deflect more 4mm. 2. Set the tail belt tension by applying pressure against both tail side plates towards the rear of the aircraft. Fully tighten the eight 3x10mm screws holding the tail side plates to the rear boom mounts. Step T7 1. Insert the metal sleeve of the tail pushrod into the pushrod guide. 2.
EN Flight Controller Mounting 1. Route the servo and throttle wires to the flight controller mounting area of the frame. Small holes are provided in the frame side plates to allow for securing the servo wires with small plastic cable ties. When routing the wires, be very careful to avoid any moving parts and sharp edges of the carbon fiber plates. 2. Attach the flight controller mounting plate to the top of the front tail boom mounts using four M3x6mm flathead screws and thread-locking compound. 3.
EN Main Rotor Alignment With the servos centered and arms level, the swashplate should be level and the 0 degree collective indication marks on top of the blade grips and headblock should align, as shown. Adjust the lengths of the blade grip linkages and servo linkages until everything is aligned properly. Throttle Hold Activating and using the Throttle Hold (TH HOLD) function in your chosen transmitter is highly recommended. Throttle hold only cuts power to the motor on an electric helicopter.
EN Thoroughly review your chosen flight control system manual to ensure the system is configured properly, per the manufacturer’s recommendations. WARNING: Disconnect the motor from the electronic speed control or ensure the transmitter throttle hold function is properly configured and ON prior to performing the cyclic and collective control tests. Failure to do so will allow the motor to start unexpectedly and may cause serious property damage or bodily injury.
EN Tail Rotor Blade Installation Install the tail blades in the orientation shown using 3x12mm bolts and locknuts. Do not apply thread lock compound to the bolt and lock nut. Main Rotor Blade Installation Install the main rotor blades in the orientation shown using 4x30mm bolts, plastic blade shims and locknuts. Do not apply thread lock compound to the bolt and lock nut. Do not over-tighten.
EN Flight Guidelines and Warnings • Always keep aircraft in sight and under control. • Always keep people and pets at least 45 feet (13 meters) away when the battery is connected. • Keep children out of the vicinity of this product at all times. • Always turn on throttle hold prior to a rotor strike. • Always use fully charged batteries. • Always keep transmitter powered on while the aircraft is powered on. • Always remove batteries before disassembly. • Always keep moving parts clean.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Helicopter power is lacking Helicopter will not lift off Possible Cause Solution Flight battery has low voltage Fully charge the flight battery Flight battery is old or damaged Replace the flight battery Flight battery cells are unbalanced Fully charge the flight battery, allowing the charger time to balance the cells Transmitter settings are not correct Check throttle and pitch curve settings and pitch control direction Flight battery has low voltage Fully charge
