Horizon Hobby Heli Manual

Introduction
The Blade® 450 3D will give intermediate to advanced heli pilots an outdoor ready-to-fly experience like no other. It comes out of the box 100% factory built and
equipped with state-of-the-art features like brushless power, digital servos, a MEMS heading lock gyro, CCPM control and symmetrical Blades. Its new and
improved digital cyclic and tail servos provide crisper, cleaner response for added precision and stability while the new heading lock gyro provides more control
over the tail for additional control and confidence. And because it's flight tested at the factory, no pre-flight setup is required. The Blade 450 3D is ready for
everything from smooth hovering to 3D aerobatic flying as soon as you finish charging the battery included with the RTF, or bind to your DSM transmitter if
purchasing the BNF Basic. The 450 3D's new aggressive body and trim scheme make this Blade one hot heli.
