hi all i got the blade helicopter and as said in this fourm its suppose to be test flowned at the factory my qusetion is i have the stock 6 ch ccmp transmitter and the four switches on the bottom are as follows
1) AL is down norm
2) ELE is up rev
3) THR. is down norm
4) RUD is up rev

is this the proper setting for the four not looking to do any 3D stuff yet

thank you in advance

your radio switches are correct.. learn to use the throttle up feature on the blade is you want more throw on the collective.

thanks for replying Human but as you might have figured out i know little to nothing about the transmiters i have the XRB no problems flying that fixex pitch and all but some of the fuctions on the Blade transmiter i know nada about how do i turn on the collective and how does that affect the way the heli performs. cause i have not been able to get a hover out of the blade just pulls nose to the left while still on the ground

thanks again
Phil

the collective is on all the time. It is what controls the pitch of the blades, which is how they generate lift. the switch on the top right of the Tx is the Idle Up switch. If you flick that towards the front of the transmitter (only do it with the throttle half way or so) then the throttle will go full, and you will be controlling up and down with just the pitch of the blades. It allows for much crisper handling and maneuvers. For just beginning or sport flying, i would just fly it in the normal mode, "Idle Up switch towards the back", which will have you controlling up and down with throttle and pitch.
