Battery Voltage Level
The included DXS transmitter includes a new flight battery voltage level indicator feature.
LED Smart Battery voltage indication is based on current voltage and will change with throttle/power usage. When throttle is increased, voltage drops, causing the bars to indicate lower power (e.g., fewer LEDs solid or flashing.) When the throttle is lowered to idle/off, the bars recover (e.g., more LEDs solid or flashing). LED bars will rise and lower depending on throttle/power usage.
The Smart Battery low voltage alarm sounds when the ESCs are close to reaching low voltage cutoff. The alarm will sound for 25 seconds. If the throttle is lowered to allow voltage recovery, the alarm will stop early. Land the aircraft when the alarm sounds.
After landing, reset the Smart Battery low voltage warning by either (1) powering cycling the DXS transmitter, or (2) disconnecting the battery from the aircraft for more than 15 seconds or until the LED voltage indication bars go out.
Connect a fully charged battery to the aircraft, which will ensure the Smart Battery low voltage warning resets prior to the next flight.

Smart Throttle (BNF Only)

The new line of Spektrum ESCs feature a telemetry function called Smart Throttle.
Smart Throttle technology combines the throttle signal with telemetry data from the ESC on one normal three wire servo connector.
Smart Throttle ESCs can send current, voltage, ESC temp, and mAh consumed.
They can also pass along battery data from compatible Spektrum Smart batteries. Smart Throttle telemetry data shows up on your transmitter like any other telemetry sensor.
For Smart Throttle to function you must have a Smart Throttle ESC paired with a Smart Throttle telemetry receiver, and a Spektrum DSMX transmitter with telemetry. Only certain Spektrum products include Smart technology compatibility, check your receiver and ESC manual for more information. An update for your transmitter may be required for Smart features. (See www.spektrumrc.com to register and update your transmitter.)

To activate Smart Telemetry:
1. Keep the vehicle powered on after binding the transmitter to the receiver.
2. Scroll to the Telemetry screen.
3. Scroll to Settings.
4. Select Auto Config.

To activate Speed infomation using Smart Telemetry:
5. After doing the initial Smart telemetry configuration, keep the vehicle powered on.
6. Scroll to the Telemetry screen.
7. Scroll to Smart ESC and double select.
8. Scroll down to NEXT.
9. Enter the values for the magnetic pole count of the motor and the gear ratio (motor and gear ratio information can be found in the manual for your vehicle).
When the radio is on and connected to a receiver sending Smart Data, the Smart Logo will appear under the battery logo on the home page and a signal bar will appear in the  top left corner of the screen. Scrolling down, past the servo monitor, the Smart screens will appear. Select either ESC, battery, or both for display to suit your preference.

Installing the Flight Battery

1. Lower the throttle.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Center all trims.
4. To allow the ESC to arm and to keep rotors from initiating at startup, turn on throttle hold and normal flight mode before connecting the flight battery.
5. Attach hook material to the helicopter frame and loop material to the battery.
6. Install the flight battery on the helicopter frame. Secure the flight battery with a hook and loop strap. Connect the battery cable to the ESC.

CAUTION : Make sure the flight battery, wire and connector does not come into contact with the motor. Failure to do so will cause the motor, ESC and battery to overheat,  resulting in a crash causing property damage and injury.

7. The swashplate will center, indicating that the unit is ready. The flight controller status LED will display a slow green flash once initialization has been completed.
8. The helicopter motor will emit a series of tones, indicating the ESC is armed.

CAUTION : Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the ESC power lead when not flying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged below the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when batteries are charged.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen  Spektrum™ DSM2® /DSMX® technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Binding Procedure

1. Program your transmitter using the Transmitter Setup found in this manual.
2. Connect the flight battery to the ESC.
3. Press the bind button on the remote receiver to initiate binding. The orange LED on the receiver will begin flashing rapidly to indicate bind mode.
4. Move the throttle stick to the low throttle position in normal mode.
5. Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter bind mode. The system will connect within a few seconds. Once connected, the orange LED on the receiver will  come on solid orange.
6. Disconnect the flight battery.

If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

Your RTF transmitter comes prebound to the model. If you need to re-bind, follow the directions below.

1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. Set all trims to the center position.
2. Power off the transmitter.
3. Connect the flight battery to the ESC, and press the bind button on the remote receiver.
4. Press and hold the Bind Switch while powering on the transmitter.
5. The transmitter will beep and the LED will blink. Release the Bind Switch.
6. The helicopter is bound when the LED on the receiver control unit is solid and the transmitter emits 3 rapid, high-pitch tones. If the transmitter emits 2 low-pitch tones, the binding procedure was not successful and should be attempted again.
7. Disconnect the flight battery and power the transmitter off.

If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to the troubleshooting guide for other instructions.
If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

SAFE Technology

Revolutionary SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology uses an innovative combination of multi-axis sensors and software that allows model aircraft to know its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness is utilized to create a controlled flight envelope the aircraft can use to maintain a safe region of bank and pitch angles so you can fly more safely. Far beyond stability, this level of protection offers multiple modes so the pilot can choose to develop his or her skills with a greater degree of security and light control that always feels crisp and responsive.

SAFE technology delivers:
• Flight envelope protection you can enable at the flip of a switch.
• Multiple modes let you adapt SAFE technology to your skill level instantly.
Best of all, sophisticated SAFE technology doesn’t require any work to enjoy. Every aircraft with SAFE installed is ready to use and optimized to offer the best possible flight experience.

Flight Mode and Rate Selection

In Stability Mode the bank angle is limited. When the cyclic stick is released the model will return to level.
In Intermediate Mode the bank angle is not limited. When the cyclic stick is released the model will not return to level. This mode is great for learning forward flight and basic aerobatics such as stall turns and loops.

In Agility Mode the bank angle is not limited. When the cyclic stick is released the model will not return to level. This mode is great for 3D aerobatics such as stationary flips  and tic tocs.
Change rates in any mode by moving the two-position dual rate switch.
• Low rate reduces the control rates, providing an easier to fly model.
Beginners should use low rate for initial flights.
• High rate provides full control and should be used by intermediate and experience pilots.

Panic Recovery

If you get into distress while flying in any mode, activate the panic function and move the control sticks to their neutral position. SAFE technology will immediately return the aircraft to an upright level attitude if the aircraft is at a sufficient height with no obstacles in its path. Return the collective stick to 50% and deactivate the Panic Recovery function to return to the current flight mode.

NOTICE : Before deactivating Panic Recovery , make sure the collective stick has been returned to the 50% position. Once the Panic Recovery has been deactivated, full negative collective becomes available, which could cause the 330 S Smart to descend rapidly.
• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the confidence to continue to improve their flight skills.
• Move the collective stick to 50% and return all other transmitter controls to neutral for the quickest recovery.
• Once the model has reached a level upright attitude, the negative collective is reduced to prevent the user from pushing the model into the ground.

Throttle Hold

Throttle hold only turns off the motor on an electric helicopter. You maintain pitch and direction control.
The blades will spin if throttle hold is OFF. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time you need to touch the helicopter or check the direction controls.
Throttle hold is also used to turn off the motor if the helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing, or both.

Control Tests

CAUTION : You must complete the Tail Rotor and Cyclic tests prior to every flight. Failure to complete the tests and ensuring the sensor corrects in the proper direction can cause the helicopter to crash, resulting in property damage and injury.

Tail Rotor
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Turn TH HOLD ON and put transmitter in normal mode.
3. Connect the flight battery to the ESC.
4. Once initialization is complete the LED on the FC6250HX will begin flashing green.

5. Move the rudder stick to the right. The pitch slider on the tail shaft should move toward the tail case. If the pitch slider moves in the opposite direction, ensure the rudder channel reverse setting within the transmitter is set to normal.
6. Release the rudder control. Manually turn the helicopter nose to the left. The flight controller should compensate by moving the tail slider towards the tail case.

Cyclic
It is normal for the swashplate to slowly move back to its original position after a stick input and for the servos to not move at the same speed as your control sticks.

• Tilt the helicopter forward. The swashplate must tilt backward.
• Tilt the helicopter backward. The swashplate must tilt forward.
• Roll the helicopter left. The swashplate must roll right.
• Roll the helicopter right. The swashplate must roll left.

Cyclic and Collective Control Test
Ensure the throttle hold is ON when performing the direction control tests. Test the controls prior to each flight to ensure the servos, linkages and parts operate correctly. If the controls do not react as shown in the illustrations below, confirm the transmitter is programmed correctly before continuing on to the Motor Test.

Motor Test
Place the helicopter outdoors on a clean, flat and level surface (concrete or asphalt) free of obstructions. Always stay clear of moving rotor blades.
1. The motor will emit a series of tones when the helicopter’s ESC arms properly.
Before continuing, confirm TH HOLD is ON.
WARNING : The motor will spin when throttle is increased while TH HOLD is OFF.
2. Check the swashplate directions to ensure they are moving in the correct direction. Please refer to the diagrams above for reference.

WARNING : Stay at least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the helicopter when the motor is running. Do not attempt to fly the helicopter at this time.
Ensure the throttle is lowered completely. Confirm the transmitter is still set to normal flight mode. Turn throttle hold off at this time. Slowly increase the throttle until the blades begin to spin. The main blades spin clockwise when viewing the helicopter from the top. The tail rotor blades spin counterclockwise when viewing the helicopter from the right-hand side.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

The ESC will continuously lower power to the motor until complete shutdown when the battery reaches 12V under load. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po battery.  Land immediately when the ESC activates LVC. Continuing to fly after LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.

Repeatedly flying the helicopter until LVC activates will damage the helicopter battery. Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

Electronic Speed Controller Governor Operation

The Blade 330 S Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) utilizes a head speed governor to maintain a constant head speed during flight. The governor will work to maintain a  constant head speed throughout maneuvers and the discharge cycle of the flight battery.
The throttle position determines the requested head speed, and although throttle curves are still used, they will be a constant value; all positions of the curve are set to the same value. The lowest position of the normal flight mode throttle curve must be set to 0 to ensure the motor can be disabled.

The default throttle curve settings listed in the transmitter setup tables should be acceptable to most pilots and we recommend starting with these values. If you feel an adjustment is necessary after a few flights, adjust the throttle percentage for the desired flight mode. We recommend making small changes of 5% to find your preferred head speed.

Remember the throttle position on the transmitter is simply requesting a specific head speed and this is not related to the actual motor power percentage.

Understanding the Primary Flight Controls

If you are not familiar with the controls of your 330 S, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.

Pre-Flight Checklist

❏ Check all screws and ensure that they are tight
❏ Check belt tension and ensure that it is not too tight or too loose
❏ Check main and tail blades to ensure they are not damaged
❏ Check all links and make sure they move freely but do not pop off easily
❏ Check that flight battery and transmitter battery are fully charged
❏ Check all wires to ensure that they are not cut, pinched, or chaffed and are properly secured
❏ Check all wire connections
❏ Check gears and make sure no teeth are missing
❏ Do a complete control test
❏ Verify the receiver sensor is correcting in the proper directions
❏ Check that servos are functioning properly
❏ Check to make sure the flight battery is properly secured
❏ Check to make sure receiver is properly secured

Flying the Blade 330 S Helicopter
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
Select a large, open area away from people and objects. Your first flights should be outdoors in low-wind conditions. Always stay at least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the helicopter when it is flying.
The Blade 330 S is intended to be flown outdoors by experienced pilots.
Takeoff
Deliberately increase throttle and establish a hover at least 24” (0.6 meter) high, outside of ground effect.

CAUTION : Making large inputs to the roll or pitch controls while the helicopter is on the ground may result in a crash.

Flying
The helicopter lifts off the ground when the rotor head reaches a suitable speed.
Establish a low-level hover to verify proper operation of your helicopter.
First flights should be performed in normal mode and low cyclic and rudder dual rates until you are familiar with the flying manner of the helicopter.

CAUTION : Always fly the helicopter with your back to the sun and the wind to prevent loss of flight control.

Landing
Establish a low-level hover. Deliberately lower the throttle until the helicopter lands.
When the helicopter is in stunt mode:
• The rotor head speed is constant.
• The main rotor will increase negative pitch as the throttle/collective stick is moved from the middle stick position to the low stick position. A negative pitch allows the helicopter to fly upside down and perform aerobatics. Change between a stunt and idle up modes in a hover with the throttle near the hovering stick position.

WARNING : Do not use wooden main blades with the Blade 330 S or injury and/or property damage could occur. Only use Blade 330 S replacement carbon fiber main blades.

Tail Belt Tension

Belt tension that is too tight results in loss of power and causes the belt to wear more quickly. Tension that is too loose can cause belt damage and loss of tail rotor
control in flight.

To check for proper belt tension:
1. View the tail rotor drive belt through the opening at the back of the main frame.
2. Use a hex wrench or standard screwdriver to compress the belt through the opening.
3. Apply light pressure on the belt, compressing the belt toward the left side of the tail boom.
4. The belt tension is correct if the compressed side of the belt reaches approximately halfway to the opposite side of the belt.
• If the compressed side of the belt reaches farther than halfway to the other side of the belt, the tension is too loose.
• If the compressed side of the belt does not reach halfway to the other side of the belt, the tension is too tight.
To adjust belt tension:
1. Loosen the two horizontal stabilizer screws.
2. Loosen the 4 screws at the back of the main frame.
3. Slide the boom forward or aft to adjust the belt tension.
4. When the belt tension is properly adjusted, tighten the 4 screws at the back of the frame.
5. Tighten the horizontal stabilizer screws.

Post-Flight Inspections and Maintenance

Ball Links| Make sure the plastic ball link holds the control ball, but is not tight (binding) on the ball. When a link is too loose on the ball, it can separate from the ball during flight and cause a crash. Replace worn ball links before they fail.
---|---
Cleaning| Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or a dry lint free cloth.
Bearings| Replace bearings when they become damaged.
Wiring| Make sure wiring does not block moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors.
Fasteners| Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over tighten metal screws in plastic parts. Tighten screw so parts are mated together, then turn screw only 1/8th of a turn more.
Rotors| Make sure there is no damage to rotor blades and other parts which move at high speed. Damage to these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts before flying.
Flight Controller| Make sure the receiver is securely attached to the frame. Replace the double-sided tape when necessary. The helicopter will crash if the receiver separates from the helicopter frame.

Advanced Tuning (Forward Programming)

Applies to forward programming capable Spektrum transmitters including DX6G2, DX7G2, DX8G2, DX9, iX12, DX18, DX20

The Blade 330 S default settings are appropriate for most users. We recommend flying with the default parameters before making any adjustments.
The Blade 330 S 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 Blade 330 S 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 SPMFC6250HX 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 Menu
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.
5. Using a bubble level as shown below, level the helicopter by placing a shim under the landing skid.

6. Enter the Function List on your transmitter.
7. Select Forward Programming.
8. Select System Setup.
9. Select Calibration.
10. Select Apply and the calibration will begin. The LED will flash yellow indicating the calibration is proceeding normally. If the LED changes to red this indicates the model is  not near level or the model was moved, in this case the calibration starts over.
11. After the calibration is successfully completed, the receiver LED will will change to a slow green flash which indicates the calibration has completed.
12. Proceed to the pre-flight check list procedure before flying your model.

Factory Reset
If the process of tuning the Blade 330 S helicopter results in undesirable flight performance, you can reset the settings back to factory defaults by selecting the Factory
Reset option in Forward Programming.

1. Enter the Function List
2. Select Forward Programming
3. Select System Setup
4. Select Factory Reset
5. Select Apply
6. Perform the Setup->Swashplate->Sub Trim function and ensure the servos are properly trimmed.
7. Proceed with the pre-flight check list procedure before flying the model.

Advanced Tuning (Non-Forward Programming)

Applies to Spektrum transmitters not capable of forward programing including DX6i, DX6e, DX7s DX8, and DX8e
Your Blade 330 S was setup at the factory and test flown. The servo adjustment steps are usually only necessary in special circumstances, such as after a crash or if a servo or linkage is replaced.
For pilots flying with a transmitter not capable of forward programming use the following procedures to make servo adjustments and perform the calibration procedure.

The advanced tuning options must be entered within 30 seconds after initialization completes. In addition the combination of dual rates and travel adjustments must result in a throw greater than 65% in order to enter the tuning modes.

Entering Servo Adjustment Mode
1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position.
2. Power ON the transmitter and activate throttle hold.
3. Install the flight battery on the helicopter frame, securing it with the hook and loop strap.
4. Connect the battery connector to the ESC.
5. After initialization is complete (indicated by a slow green flash), hold the left stick to the bottom left corner and the right stick to the bottom right corner as shown.
6. Servo Adjustment Mode is indicated by the swashplate servos jumping and then slowly moving back to center.
7. Release the sticks and proceed to the next step.

Adjusting the Servo Neutral Position

With the model in Servo Adjustment Mode, the control stick and gyro inputs are disabled and the servos are held in the neutral position. Check the position of the servo arms to verify they are perpendicular to the servos.
• If the arms are perpendicular to the servos, no adjustment is necessary.
Exit Servo Adjustment Mode.
• If one or more servo arm is not perpendicular to the servos, continue the servo adjustment process.

While watching the swashplate servos, apply fore or aft cyclic and release. One of the servos will jump, indicating the selected servo. Apply fore or aft cyclic and release until the servo that needs to be adjusted is selected.
Once the servo you wish to adjust is selected, move the cyclic stick left or right to adjust the servo neutral position in the desired direction.
To reset the current servo to the default neutral position, hold the rudder stick full right for two seconds.
The range of adjustment is limited. If you are unable to adjust the servo arm to be perpendicular to the servo, you must reset the servo to the default neutral position, remove the servo arm and place it back onto the servo as close to perpendicular as possible. You may then adjust the servo neutral position using left or right cyclic stick.

Swashplate Leveling
Before saving your adjustments and exiting servo adjustment mode, verify the swashplate is level and both main rotor blades are at 0 degrees pitch. If they are not, make linkage adjustments as necessary.

Saving the Servo Adjustments
1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position and release the sticks.
2. Move the tail rotor stick to the left and hold for four seconds to exit Servo Adjustment Mode. The servos will jump indicating a return to normal operation.
3. Release the tail rotor stick.
4. Perform the pre-flight checklist procedure before flying your model.

Control Input in Servo
Adjustment Mode| Action in Servo Adjustment Mode
---|---
Fore/Aft Cyclic| Select Previous or Next Servo
Right/Left Cyclic| Increase or Decrease Sub Trim Adjustment
Right Tailrotor| Hold For Two Seconds;
Neutral Position is Reset on Selected Servo
Left Tailrotor and Low Throttle| Hold for Four Seconds;
Exit Servo Adjustment Mode

Calibration Procedure
If the helicopter is experiencing drift issues after completing the trim flight procedure, perform the following calibration.
The calibration procedure may also be needed following crash repairs.
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 is disconnected.
5. Using a bubble level as shown below, level the helicopter by placing a shim under the tail fin.

6. Hold the left stick to the bottom right corner, and the right stick to the upper left corner.

7. The LED on the Flight Controller will flash yellow while caibrating
Do not move the helicopter until the calibration is completed. If the LED displays a red LED an error has occurred. Begin the calibration procedure again, starting with step 1.
