Page 6: Flight Control
Flight Control For smooth control of the Scout CX, always make small control movements. All directions are described as if you were sitting in the helicopter. For example -- when the helicopter nose is pointing toward you, left rudder (turn) will move the nose of the helicopter in the left direction (your right). •Flying up and down: When your Scout CX is stable in the air, gently push/pull the throttle stick up/down to make it fly climb/descend. •Turning left and right: When you are comfortable contolling the flying height of your Scout CX, try turning left/right by moving the rudder (steering stick) in the direction you want the helicopter to turn. •Flying forward and backward: Gently move the elevator (steering stick) up and down to move the helicopter forward and backward.

Page 7: Making Flight Adjustments
Lifting Off for the First Flight: 1. Pull the throttle stick down to the bottom of its travel and then turn ON the transmitter. 2. Place the Scout CX on the ground with the tail pointing toward you. 3. Gently move the throttle stick to 1/3 throttle. The rotor blades will spin and the Scout CX will climb. Climb to 1.0–1.5 meters (3–5 feet) high. Reduce and add throttle as needed to hover and descend. Use smooth control stick movement when you are flying the helicopter. Always use small control stick movements and keep your fingers on the control sticks. If you notice that the Scout CX wants to wander/turn to the left or right, some steering adjustments may be necessary. Making Flight Adjustments Left or Right The steering trim makes small adjustments to the helicopter’s direction. If the nose (front) turns right, press the left trim button until the rotation stops and the nose stays in place. A long tone will be heard when the trim is at center. If the heli turns left, then trim right. -
Page 8: How To Be A Successful Pilot
How to be a Successful Pilot • Read the instruction manual carefully (especially the Troubleshooting section if you’re having problems). • Small, smooth control inputs are best. Quickly moving the stick just produces instability and no real flight control. • Make sure the flight battery is fully charged before each flight. It’s better to run the flight battery down to 50% or lower before recharging. A good, fully charged battery should be good for approximately 6 minutes of flight time. If your flight time falls below 4 minutes, your battery may need replaced. • Keep the unit dry and clean. Carpet lint, pet hair, dirt, etc, can restrict the motor and controls, giving reduced power and control response times. • Failure to Bind—Hold the Transmitter a few feet away from the helicopter while binding. Binding while too close can sometimes cause problems. • Make sure that the tail boom is pushed fully into the frame. A loose tail will cause the helicopter to shake. • Make sure the canopy is connected to all four mounting posts. A loose canopy will cause the helicopter to shake. • The heli must be sitting perfectly still to initialize when you plug in the battery. If you are holding it in your hand or, moving it around, it may not initialize properly. There should be no reason to unplug it and start again. Just put it down on the landing skids and it will initialize in a few seconds. -
Page 9: Transmitter And Receiver Binding
Transmitter and Receiver Binding The Scout CX uses 2.4GHz radio frequency band and requires a “binding” procedure. Binding teaches the receiver the specific code of the transmitter, so it will only communicate to this transmitter. There should be no need to bind the transmitter and receiver prior to use. If you ever need to re-bind the transmitter and receiver, please follow the steps below. - Page 10 Exploded View and Parts Listing Part # Description Part # Description BLH2722 Landing Skid and BLH2724 Main frame flight module Battery Mount BLH2721 Upper Main Blade Set (1 Pair) BLH2723 Tail Boom and Fin Assembly BLH2720 Lower Main Blade Set (1 Pair) BLH2727 Canopy with Grommets EFLR3240 Blade 3-Channel 2.4GHz BLH2719 Stabilizer Flybar Set Transmitter with Built-In Charger EFLB0701S E-flite 3.7V 70mAh LiPo Battery...
