Introduction As you are about to see, the Blade mCP X truly is an ultra micro heli experience unlike any other. Its advanced flybar- less design reduces drag on the rotorhead and significantly boosts cyclic control response. This, combined with its exceptionally lightweight airframe, delivers a level of power and responsiveness that eclipses that of any ultra micro heli you have flown before. Inverted flight, loops, flips, rolls, funnels, hurricanes – the mCP X can do it all, indoors or out, with power to spare. If you’re transitioning from a basic CCPM or fixed-pitched heli, you’ll find the mCP X is a great way to get used to flying more agile CCPM helis without having to invest a lot in expensive equipment or repairs. Before you take the first flight, though, please take time to read through this manual and watch the included DVD. Both contain important pre-flight information as well as useful tips on binding your transmitter that will help ensure your first flight is a great one. *Transmitter and AA Batteries not included with BNF Version Table of Contents Battery Warnings and Guidelines ....4 Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) ......4 BLH3500 BLH3580 Battery Charging ........5... -
