I did the trim flight on my 230 s this morning. I just held back elevator to keep it in position as it wanted to go forward and hovered for about a minute, landed , came out of trim flight lifted off and it was hands off rock solid stable. It totally worked. Now for the 200 sr x. Thank you.
You've had this information posted already for the 200 SR X but seeing you go through the motions really helps me to know that I'm performing the Trim Flight correctly. Keep up the Outstanding job, I Appreciate it!

Glad to see this video up! I'm really diggin my 230 S and I see this heli leading a lot of pilots into larger helis by next summer! Also way to keep the video casual! +R3L72 made a very valid point! Seeing is believing haha. As a HobbyTown employee I see first hand how people pay more for the product they recognize or "trust" more than the in-house brands. We support them both just as well in the store, but the online and video tutorial support is lacking for many companies that are marketing the younger or novice/intermediate customer. Keep it up with great products and support!
Thank you for the info on flight trim. Iwas close in my thinking but good to confirm it. I will do this for my 200 srx as well as it likes to shoot off forward and left as well. Thank you for the video and replies.
So I have an NX8+. I've imported the 230s config from the internal storage. Can you go over the tx setup for the different holds, rates and modes that you have in your DX9? This thing is doing some stuff with some switches that I don't understand.
I have Blade 230S V2 and there should be not need for any trim set up providing that you have followed the BNF instructions to the Fullest. When I bought mine only last week I did get some tail wag , I did not know what was wrong. The 230S V2 has a AS3X receiver with built in GYRO to make it stable . I would advise that after radio set up and placing the battery into the Heli , place onto a flat surface and leave for between 10 to 15 seconds before proceeding to take off This way the Gyro built into the Model is given a chance to settle from there it should be very stable.
First tip. Dont think your getting the featured & shown tx. on the rtf. 2nd tip , theres better built, direct drive Helicopters nowadays for about the same price. 😉
After you competed your trim flight, I noticed that you didn't reboot the heli and Tx, is that not necessary? I got me 230s about a week ago and have been practicing just holding it steady. I'm ready to do the trim flight, I think. Thanks, BTW, nice video.
Colby how does the trim flight set the heli so it does not go off in some direction such as forward as mine does ? Does it recalibrate the servos to zero ? Thanks.
+james tremain The trim flight teaches the helicopter what "center" or "level" is. Since there is no gps to hold it, it sets those trims to help you as much as possible.
Is this the same procedure you would use with the DSX transmitter? Also when I lower the throttle to land the tail kicks hard right almost a full spin very consistent(not the pilot) plus during flight there is a loud screech and the heli doe a full tail spin HELP Please Brand new heli
I always thought trimming was a manual job. It certainly was with my MSRX from what I remember. Trimming itself sounds great, but how does the heli know? Does the 230s have gps or something?
As fairly new to the world of RC.....the DX6 manual assumes a level of knowledge of RC operation that the novice user just will not have.....most inputs and parameter settings such as dual rates and expos , channel mixes etc... mean nothing without a basic grounding in RC concepts, and so for a beginner like me, most of the manual makes little sense.....this video is helpful , however, I know a lot of us heli beginners would really appreciate HH creating a video, showing the step by step entering of all parameter settings on a Spektrum radio for a 200 S and 230 S BNF helis...( I own both ) Be sure to show all the inputting from the very start to the end of the programming........the model naming is the easiest part , but after that it starts getting tricky....so something with more detail on navigating the inputting of the settings......I found this video helpful..but for more intermediate to advanced RC'ers.....I finally became frustrated and just downloaded the file from the Spektrum site, however, nothing is really learned in doing it this way and many models are not available on the site.......on behalf of all of the beginners.., thanks....
Hi, This is Peter Oh from yonsanrc in Korea. I did the same thing you did, but my heli still goes somewhere not stationary level even I did on a level surface and netural trim. Please help me :)
The "trim flight" procedure you describe is confusing. I'm assuming you are not doing that adjustment at 2:45 with the heli in flight...certainly not with the course stick movements you demonstrate. Also you did not explain what was the 'drift tendency' of the heli that prompted you to make that particular adjustment. Can I assume your heli was banking/turning to the right & backing up? In calm conditions using the Tx trim levers to "step trim" the odd tendencies of a heli in flight might be a better solution. Once that is correctly accomplished the heli linkage can be mechanically adjusted to the exact (corrected) trim positions with sticks centered. You may have to use a 'digital (rotor) pitch gauge' to assist in accurate adjustment of the linkage.
hi i have 230s and it wont go into trim flight mode. i updated the receiver to the latest firmware and transmitter but it still wont go into the mode. any ideas please. thank you
Is this the same for all stick layouts, Like I mean I fly in mode 4 as I learned on a syma s107 then s800g then syma f3 and v911 so I do not fly mode 2.
My 200 SR X is draining a fully charged fresh battery in 2-3 minutes, I could fly up to 10 mins. before. What might the problem be? The 230 has no problem with the same batteries.
+Paul Hoggett There's a lot of variables to consider with that. You want to do the trim flight, place your battery in the recommended position, then fine tune your trims.

My 230s wont go into any adjustment modes . I tried all the stick movements advised and the servos dont shudder. They just follow the stick movement and remain right there.
Just got my heli the other day i noticed on my first flight attempt the swash plate after it engaged on level ground went all the way forward so when i took off it wanted to go forward and to the left i really had to fight it to keep it in a hover did the trim flight and it still does the same thing i dont know what to do
This really wasn't a video based on the pricing. However, here is the link to the 230 S. www.horizonhobby.com/blade-230-s-rtf-with-safe-technology-blh1500
why are blade helicopters so crap. rickety , tails dont hold. iv had every mini helicopter blade have released they keep getting worse and worse. Everybody just buys because of the bind and fly or ready to fly. Same as theyr quads nano qx first good quad, then the 3d nano was weak and crap, glimpse fpv was not fpv just had a camera lagtime was rediculous . Toy Grade disposable helicopters and quads. Notice in the video he has to tell you that the faults are normal over and over
Tell them how weak the main frame is when you hard fly even if you do loops or rolls or a hard turn the back of the main frame where the tail boom slides into the back will brake and then brake the top of you main blade frame and want to fly off where it wants to but I have enough experience that I got mine landed but I took it back and the company told me I crashed mine nope sure didn’t my main blades and my tail rotor blades and the slash plate and everything that works the main blades did t have a scratch on them or anything and my body still clean and in one pice with no scratches or nothing on it or my skid plate on my landing gear was stun in tack not bent or broken and they said I crashed it yea right so I got the update main frame so if you buy this helicopter please before you leave the store buy the aluminum main frame please or you will be like me and it will bust in mid air and then your out of a helicopter and I been flying helicopter’s since I was 16 years old and now I’m 45 years old I have a ton of experience or I would’ve never landed my helicopter when it broke trust me the main frame can’t take a lot of stress I only had it a week before it broke in mid air I think it took about six hard flights and then it broke in mid air
What a horrible piece of model aviation. Why didn't Blade use the same setup as in the AR7200? I don't think one should ever fly a heli while it is program mode!! The AR7200 got it right!!

What a fantastic video extremely accurate instructions now the helicopter flies perfect the key is to keep it very stable while it's adjusting!
Thank you Horizon Hobby !! You answered both my questions with this video.

Just one question, shouldn't you make certain all your trim adjustments are completely centered before performing a trim flight?
When I start getting into heli's again, I would like to get my hands on this one.
Hi, i have a question...which battery use for your elichapter? Best regards from Italy
Great video but could you comment on which of the three flight modes it was in during the initial flight and the alignment flight.
+Dale Scott It was in stability low bank (the first mode).

+oh peter (용산rc) The heli will always drift some as mentioned in the video. It will never hold exactly in position.

I just got mine and no matter how much throttle I give it it will not get lift. The swashpkate doesn't seem to have much movement.

Can you trim this in SAFE mode?

This procedure doesn't seem to work with the dx6i! Tried holding trainer/bind with no gothen tried holding elev d/r with no luck either. Any ideas??

My 230s wont go into any adjustment modes . I tried all the stick movements advised and the servos dont shudder. They just follow the stick movement and remain right there.

+Ben Pyka Make sure you have the heli on a level surface. Also, be sure that all your trims are neutral.
would this procedure be the same when using the dx6i TX
+wikidy69 Yes, it should be the same. If the swash plate doesn't make the move, it didn't enter the trim flight mode.
Can you get longer flight time out of it?
