Introduction
As an ultra micro-sized version of the Blade ® CX/CX2, the Blade mCX offers
first-time pilots the ability to learn how to fly with ease and experienced
heli pilots the ability to fly anywhere, anytime. The Blade mCX offers
unsurpassed stability and incredible control through the coaxial, counter-
rotating head design and Spektrum™ 2.4GHz DSM2™ technology. And,
thanks to its rotor span of just 7.5 inches and one ounce flying weight, the
Blade mCX can be flown indoors almost anywhere—from an office to a
small bedroom or living room.
The Blade mCX comes 100% factory-assembled, flight-tested and ready
to fly right out of the box—no assembly or setup required. Included in the
box is the LiPo flight battery and convenient AA battery-powered DC LiPo
charger, 4-channel transmitter equipped with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM2
technology, and 8 AA batteries (4 for the transmitter, 4 for the charger). The
DSM2 technology offers freedom from frequency restrictions and allows the
Blade mCX to be flown anywhere, anytime with full 4-channel control.
And although the Blade mCX is ready-to-fly right from the box, please take
the time to read through this manual for tips on battery safety and charging,
control checks and more before making your first flight. We also suggest
viewing the Instructional Video located on the product page for the Blade
mCX on www.e-fliterc.com.
