Control Tests - Horizon Hobby Blade Trio 360 CFX Instruction Manual

Control Tests

CAUTION: You must complete the Rudder and Cyclic tests prior to fl ight. Failure to complete the tests ensuring the sensor directions are not reversed can cause
the helicopter to crash, resulting in property damage and injury.
Rudder
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Turn TH HOLD ON and put transmitter in normal mode.
3. Connect the helicopter battery to the ESC.
NOTICE: Do not allow the helicopter to move until the Status LED is solid blue
and all menu LEDs are OFF. The gyro will not operate correctly if the helicopter
moves before the Status LED is solid blue.
Cyclic
When using a fl ybarless rotor head, you are controlling rotational rates while the
AR7210BX controls the servos. You are not directly controlling the servos with the
transmitter.
It is normal for the swashplate to slowly move back to its original position
after a stick input and for the servos to not move at the same speed as your
control sticks.
Cyclic and Collective Control Test
WARNING: To prevent accidental motor startup and possible damage to property or personal injury, always disconnect the motor wires from the ESC prior to
performing the cyclic and collective control tests.
