First Flight Preparation; Flying Checklist; Low Voltage Cutoff (Lvc); Transmitter Setup - Horizon Hobby Blade Trio 360 CFX Instruction Manual

First Flight Preparation

• Remove and inspect contents
• Begin charging the fl ight battery
• Program your computer transmitter
• Install the fl ight battery in the helicopter (once it has been fully charged)
• Bind your transmitter
• Familiarize yourself with the controls
• Find a suitable area for fl ying

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

The ESC will continuously lower power to the motor until complete shutdown
when the battery reaches 18V under load. 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 DX6,
DX7 (Gen 2), DX8 (Gen 2), DX9, DX18 and DX20.

❏ 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.
