Calibration Procedure - Horizon Hobby BLADE 150S Smart Instruction Manual

Calibration Procedure

If the Blade 150 S Smart is experiencing drift issues after completing the trim flight procedure located at www.bladehelis.
com, perform the following calibration. The calibration procedure may also be needed following crash repairs.
WARNING: Before beginning the calibration procedure, disconnect the main motor and tail motor leads to
prevent accidental motor startup during calibration.
To perform the calibration procedure:
1. Ensure the surface used for calibration is level.
2. Power on the transmitter and helicopter, allowing them
to initialize.
3. Turn Throttle Hold ON.
4. Ensure the main motor and tail motor leads
are disconnected. Set the flight mode switch to
Intermediate Mode (FM1).
5. Using a bubble level as shown below, level the helicopter
by placing the Blade 150 S Smart foam blade holder
under the tail fin. Use additional items, as necessary, to
build up under the tail fin until the tail boom is level.

to the bottom
right corner, the
right stick to the
upper left corner
and activate the
Panic Recovery
function until the LED on the receiver flashes once.
7. Release both sticks and deactivate the Panic Recovery
function.
8. The LED on the receiver will remain solid for 1-2
minutes while the calibration takes place. Do not move
the helicopter until the calibration is completed. If the

LED will blink slowly (2 seconds on, 2 seconds off).
10. Power the helicopter off.

12. Perform the trim flight procedure.
13. During subsequent flights after the trim flight, the helicopter
should return to within 5 degrees of level consistently.
