Advanced Tuning (Forward Programming) - Horizon Hobby BLADE 150S Smart Instruction Manual

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).
The flight controller shipped with BNF models has a range of adjustable parameters suitable for the 150 S Smart Helicopter
and is not intended for use in other aircraft.
It is important to use the included servos with the BNF flight controller because the adjustable parameters available for
the SPMAR6250MHXC are designed around the recommended servos. It is possible there may not be enough range for the
helicopter to be tuned when using alternative servos.
Entering the Advanced Parameters Men
With the helicopter bound to the transmitter and powered on, enter the Function List and select Forward Programming.
The list of adjustable parameters and the range of values available for tuning have been tailored for this helicopter. Make
small changes to one parameter at a time and test fly the changes before changing the parameter further or changing a
different parameter.
Calibration Procedure
If the helicopter is experiencing drift issues, perform the following calibration. The calibration procedure may also be
needed following crash repairs.
1. Ensure the surface used for calibration is level.
2. Power on the transmitter and activate throttle hold.
3. Connect the flight batter to the ESC and allowing the
model to initialize.
4. Turn Throttle Hold ON.
