First Flight Preparation ❏ Remove and inspect contents ❏ Bind your transmitter ❏ Program your computer transmitter ❏ Familiarize yourself with the controls ❏ Charge the flight battery (not included) ❏ Find a suitable area for flying ❏ Install the flight battery Flying Checklist ❏ Always turn the transmitter on first ❏ Land the model ❏ Plug the flight battery into the lead from the ESC ❏ Unplug the flight battery from the ESC ❏ Allow the receiver and ESC to initialize and arm properly ❏ Always
Installing the Flight Battery 1 2 3 1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. 2. Power ON the transmitter. 3. Center all trims. The trims should always remain in the center position. If you feel the trims need to be adjusted please perform the trim flight procedure located towards the back of this manual. 4. Attach the hook material to the helicopter frame and the loop material to the flight battery. 5. Install the flight battery on the helicopter frame.
SMART Throttle The new line of Spektrum ESCs feature a telemetry function called SMART Throttle. SMART Throttle technology combines the throttle signal with telemetry data from the ESC on one normal three wire servo connector. 3. Scroll to Settings 4. Select Auto Config To activate Speed infomation using SMART Telemetry: 5. After doing the initial SMART telemetry configuration keep the vehicle powered on 6. Scroll to the Telemetry screen 7. Scroll to SMART ESC and double select 8. Scroll down to NEXT 9.
Technology Revolutionary SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology uses an innovative combination of multi-axis sensors and software that allows model aircraft to know its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness is utilized to create a controlled flight envelope the aircraft can use to maintain a safe region of bank and pitch angles so you can fly more safely.
Throttle Hold Throttle hold is used to prevent the motor from powering on inadvertently. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time you need to touch the helicopter or check the direction controls. Throttle hold is also used to turn off the motor quickly if the helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing, or both. The blades will continue to spin briefly when throttle hold is activated. Control Tests Ensure the throttle hold is ON when doing the direction control tests.
Understanding the Primary Flight Controls If you are not familiar with the controls of your aircraft, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.
Flying the 150 S Smart Consult your local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft. Hovering Making small corrections on the transmitter, try to hold the helicopter in one spot. If flying in calm winds, the model should require almost no corrective inputs. After moving the cyclic stick and returning it to center, the model should level itself. The model may continue to move due to inertia. Move the cycle stick in the opposite direction to stop the movement.
Advanced Tuning (Forward Programming) Applies to forward programming capable Spektrum Transmitters including DX6e, DX8e, DX6G2, DX7G2, DX8G2, DX9, iX12, DX18, iX20, DX20, NX6, NX8, NX10 The 150 S Smart default settings are appropriate for most users. We recommend flying with the default parameters before making any adjustments. The 150 S Smart BNF flight controller may be programmed from any compatible Spektrum transmitter (visit SpektrumRC.com for more information).
Advanced Tuning (Non-Forward Programming) Applies to Spektrum transmitters not capable of forward programing including DX6i, DX6e, DX7s DX8, and DX8e Your Blade 150 S Smart was setup at the factory and test flown. The servo adjustment steps are usually only necessary in special circumstances, such as after a crash or if a servo or linkage is replaced.
Servo Adjustment WARNING: To ensure your safety, always disconnect the motor wires from the ESC before performing the following steps. After you have completed the adjustments, reconnect the motor wires to the ESC before attempting to fly the model. Your helicopter was setup at the factory and test flown. The servo adjustment steps are only necessary in special circumstances, such as after a crash or if a servo or linkage is replaced. Entering Servo Adjustment Mode 1.
Trim Flight Perform this procedure if the model is not performing well or has been recently rebuilt from a crash. The trim flight is used to determine the optimal settings for SAFE® technology during flight. The trim flight procedure was performed during the factory test flight and only needs to be performed if you notice the model is not returning to level consistently or if the model does not remain still during stationary pirouettes. The trim flight must be performed in calm conditions.
Calibration Procedure If the Blade 150 S Smart is experiencing drift issues after completing the trim flight procedure located at www.bladehelis. com, perform the following calibration. The calibration procedure may also be needed following crash repairs. WARNING: Before beginning the calibration procedure, disconnect the main motor and tail motor leads to prevent accidental motor startup during calibration. To perform the calibration procedure: 1. Ensure the surface used for calibration is level. 6.
Post-Flight Inspection and Maintenance Checklist √ Make sure the plastic ball link holds the control ball, but is not tight (binding) on the ball. When a link is too loose on the ball, it can separate from the ball during flight and cause a crash. Replace worn ball links before they fail. Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or Cleaning a dry, lint-free cloth.
Problem Possible Cause Solution The bind plug was not removed from the receiver after binding Less than a 5-second wait between first powering on the transmitter and connecting the LED on the receiver flashes flight battery to the helicopter rapidly and the helicopter The helicopter is bound to a will not respond to the different model memory transmitter (after binding) (ModelMatch™ transmitters only) Flight battery or transmitter battery charge is too low Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large me
