Horizon Hobby Blade mCP X Supplement Manual

Supplemental Pre-Flight Checklist

Your Blade mCP X is a high-performance collective pitch helicopter with a rotorhead that is much more complex than that of most of the ultra-
micro helicopters you may have flown before. Unlike the rotorheads of most fixed pitch ultra-micro helis, the mCP X rotorhead has many more
moving parts that require thorough inspection before every flight. Following the steps in this supplemental checklist will help you avoid unsafe
flying conditions and keep your mCP X performing at its best.
This checklist does not replace the safety procedures listed in the manual, but should be performed in addition to them prior to every flight and
after every crash.
