3.7V LiPoo, 

0.4A 

DC USB U Charge er (AZSC104 4USBC) or a suitably compatible 

LiPo batterry 

charger. Failure 

to do 

so may re esult in a fi ire causing property ddamage 

andd/or 

personnal 

injury. DDO 

NOT T use a NiCd d or NiMH charger. 

• If at t any time during d the charge c or discharge d prrocess 

the battery beggins 

to balloon 

or 

swe ell, discontin nue chargin ng or discha arging immmediately. 

QQuickly 

andd 

safely 

disconnect 

the e battery, th hen place it t in a safe, open area away fromm 

flammablee 

mat terials to ob bserve it for 

at least 15 

minutes. Continuingg 

to chargee 

or discharrge 

a 

batt tery that ha as begun to o balloon or r swell can result in a fire. A batttery 

that haas 

ballo ooned or sw wollen even 

a small amount 

must 

be remooved 

from sservice 

com mpletely. 

• Stor re the batte ery at room temperatu ure, approximately 

68– –77° Fahrennheit 

(F), annd 

in a 

dry area for best 

results. 

8

• When transporting or temporarily storing the battery, the temperature range should 

be from approximately 40–100°F. Do not store the battery or model in a hot garage, 

car or direct sunlight whenever possible. If stored in a hot garage or car the battery can 

be damaged or even catch fire. 

• Do not over‐discharge the LiPo flight battery. Discharging the LiPo flight battery too 

low can cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced power, flight duration or 

failure of the battery entirely. 

LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load. In the case of the 

1‐Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo battery used to power the Ultra‐Micro MD 500D CX 100 you will 

not want to allow the battery to fall below 3.0V during flight. 

The 5‐in‐1 control unit features a soft low voltage cutoff (LVC) that smoothly reduces 

power to the motors (regardless of the power level you have set with the left‐ 

hand/throttle stick) to let you know the voltage of the battery is close to the 3.0V 

minimum. However, even before this reduction in power, if you find that more than 

the typical amount of throttle/power is required to hover and/or the helicopter will 

not ascend/climb even at full power you should land the model and disconnect the 

battery immediately to prevent over‐discharge. 

And while it is possible to power the model up and fly again after the soft LVC occurs, 

this is NOT recommended. Continued discharging can result in reaching the 2.5V hard 

cutoff which may cause permanent damage to the LiPo battery resulting in lost 

power and flight duration during subsequent fights (or failure of the battery 

entirely). 

Also, it is not recommended that you fly to the soft LVC every time you fly. Instead 

you should be aware of the power level of the battery/helicopter throughout the 

flight, and if at any time the helicopter begins to require more throttle/power than 

typical to maintain hover, and/or will not ascend/climb even at full power, you 

should land the helicopter and disconnect the LiPo battery immediately. Constantly 

discharging the battery to the soft LVC can still cause permanent damage to the 

battery so it’s best to use a timer or stop‐watch to time the duration of your flights 

and to stop flying at a reasonable time before the soft LVC is reached.

circuuitry 

installled 

in the 

included 22 20mAh 1‐C Cell/1S 3.7V V 15C LiPo Battery B (AZZSB2201S155UM). 

As a result you 

CANNOT use 

the 104C C 1‐Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo, 0.4A DC USSB 

Chargerr 

to charge any other 

1‐Cell/1S 3.7V 3 LiPo ba atteries unl less they ar re also equipped 

withh

Please 

also notte 

that nearrly 

all 

of the 1‐Ce ell/1S 3.7V LiPo batter ries on the market todday 

are NOT 

equippedd 

with the 

compatible e over‐char rge protection 

circuitry. 

This in mmind 

we DOO 

NOT recommend 

using 

the 

104C 1‐Cell/1S 

3.7V LiPo, 

0.4A DC D USB Charger 

to chaarge 

any battteries 

otheer 

than thee 

included 22 20mAh 1‐C Cell/1S 3.7V V 15C LiPo Battery. B 

Please follo ow these steps 

to char rge the LiPo o battery with 

the incluuded 

chargger: 

� Con nnect the 10 04C charger 

to a suitable 

5V USB connectionn 

on a computer 

or other 

dev vice. Anothe er option is that you ca an plug thee 

included 55005PS 

100‐ ‐240V AC too 

5V 

DC, 0.5‐Amp USB U Power Supply/AC S Adapter A (AZZSC5005PS) 

into a commpatible 

1000‐240V 

AC outlet then n connect th he 104C cha arger to thee 

power suppply/AC 

adaapter 

accorrdingly. 

The e power sup pply/AC ada apter is pow wered on wwhen 

the LED 

indicatorr 

glows solidd 

gree en. 

� Con nnect the ba attery to th he connecto or at the ennd 

of the wire 

lead exteending 

fromm 

the 

charger. 

YOU MUST BE CAREFUL C TO O ENSURE PPROPER 

POOLARITY 

BEFORE 

MAKING 

THE E CONNECT TION by alig gning the sm mall red triangle 

markking 

on thee 

housing off 

the 

battery 

with the 

small tri iangle mark king that iss 

molded innto 

the blacck 

housing oon 

the 

wire 

lead from m the charg ger. While th he white coonnectors 

aare 

‘keyed’ to minimizee 

the 

risk k of a revers se polarity connection, c , if you forcce 

them it iss 

possible to 

make 

con nnection wit th the incor rrect polarity 

potentiaally 

causing damage too 

the battery 

and d/or charger. 

When the e triangle markings m aree 

properly aligned for correct polarity, 

con nnecting the e white con nnectors sho ould requirre 

only a minimal 

amount 

of pressure 

to 

achieve 

the lig ght ‘click’ th hat indicates 

secure coonnection. 

10

� When 

the batt tery is conn nected to th he charger ssecurely 

and 

with the proper polaarity 

the LED indicat tor on the charger c will 

glow solidd 

red. The bbattery 

will be charging 

any ytime the LE ED indicator 

is glowing g solid red. 

� It will w take app proximately y 30‐45 minutes 

to chaarge 

a fully discharged (not over‐ 

disc charged) ba attery. And when the battery b is fuully 

chargedd 

the LED inndicator 

will 

stop 

glow wing red en ntirely. Whe en the LED indicator iss 

no longer glowing you 

can remoove 

the 

batt tery from the 

charger as it is now w fully chargged 

and reaady 

for use. . 

NOT TE: The LiPo o battery included 

with h your moddel 

will arrivve 

partially charged. FFor 

this 

reas son the initi ial charge may m only take 

approximmately 

15‐220 

minutes. 

NOT TE: It’s safer r and better 

for the longevity 

of tthe 

battery to store it only partially

of the bbatteries 

beefore 

installling 

them as no oted by the markings molded m into o the batterry 

compartmment, 

then re‐install the 

compartme ent cover/d door. 

Check for proper p oper ration of the 

transmitt ter by switcching 

the poower 

switchh 

on (upward 

toward the e top of the transmitte er). You should 

hear a ssingle

Contro ol Unit Initialization 

and Arrming 

Your Ultra‐ ‐Micro MD 500D CX 10 00 is equipp ped with a ccompact 

annd 

advanced 

5‐in‐1 conntrol 

unit. The co ontrol unit is a lightwe eight combi ination of 22.4GHz 

receeiver, 

two seervos, 

two main 

motor elec ctronic spee ed controls (ESCs), mix xer and gyroo. 

The control 

unit is also 

equippeed 

with 

LEDs that provide p add ded detail to o the scale body as weell 

as variouus 

indicationns. 

This checklist 

includes s the steps you y must fo ollow to ensure 

propeer 

initialization, 

armingg 

and 

operation of o the contr rol unit: 

� Befo ore each flight 

you sho ould always 

turn the ttransmitterr 

on beforee 

connecting 

the flight batte ery to the control 

unit t. Never connnect 

the flight 

batterry 

to the 

cont trol unit be efore powering 

the tra ansmitter oon 

first (exccept 

when 

bind ding/linking g, as noted in that sec ction of thiss 

manual). AAfter 

each flight you 

shou uld always disconnect t the flight battery froom 

the conttrol 

unit beefore 

pow wering off th he transmit tter. 

� The left‐hand/ throttle stick 

must be e set in the lowest posssible 

position, 

and thhe 

thro ottle trim must m be set to the middle 

or a lowwer 

than mmiddle 

posittion 

in ordeer 

for the t ESCs of f the contro ol unit to ar rm. 

16

NOT TE: If this is the first flig ght, or a first 

flight folllowing 

repaairs, 

you should 

center 

the aileron and d elevator trims. 

Use th he digital trrim 

buttonss 

and refereence 

the 

cent ter trim pos sitions using g the audib ble beeps/toones 

and inndicators 

onn 

the LCD 

scre een. 

� Pow wer on the transmitter, 

, confirming g that the LLED 

indicatoor 

is glowinng 

solid red 

and the LCD screen 

is pow wered on. Then 

install tthe 

flight bbattery 

in thhe 

hatch of 

the helicopter and connec ct it to the control c unitt. 

� With h the flight t battery co onnected to o the controol 

unit, the white LED indicator 

mou unted in the e front/win ndshield wi ill blink rappidly. 

If possible 

you should 

not 

mov ve or sway the helicop pter once th he LED begins 

to blinkk 

confirming 

that the 

initialization 

pr rocess and calibration n of the gyrro 

has beguun. 

If you doo 

move thee 

helic copter too much while 

the LED is s blinking itt 

may affecct 

the 

initialization/calibration 

of o the gyro which could 

require ssignificant 

rudder trimm 

adju ustments du uring the pending p flight. 

If this hhappens, 

too 

help minimmize 

or 

elim minate the need n for rudder 

trim adjustment a ts you may want to disconnect 

the flight batte ery from the 

control unit u and reppeat 

the iniitialization/ 

/calibrationn 

proc cess. You may m also con nsider conn necting thee 

battery annd 

setting tthe 

helic copter dow wn BEFORE closing the e hatch to aallow 

it plennty 

of timee 

to 

initialize/calibr 

rate accord dingly. 

17

� Whe en the LED indicator st tops blinkin ng rapidly and 

glows soolid 

white the 

control 

unit is initialize ed and ready 

for flight. And as lonng 

as you haad 

the left‐ 

hand d/throttle stick s set to the lowest possible poosition 

(andd 

the throtttle 

trim is seet 

to approximate 

ely the midd dle or lowe er than the mmiddle 

position) 

durinng 

the 

initialization 

pr rocess the ESCs/motor E rs will now be armed. Use cautionn 

as both 

roto or blades wi ill now spin n with left‐h hand/throtttle 

stick input! 

In case the e LED does not n change e to glow so olid white: 

• If the 

LED changes 

from blinking 

rapidly 

to blinkking 

slowly you do not have a 

posi itive radio frequency f ( RF) link bet tween the ttransmitterr 

and receivver 

of the 

cont trol unit. First, 

check to 

be sure th he transmittter 

is poweered 

on andd 

the LED 

indic cator on the 

transmitt ter is glowin ng solid redd. 

If the trannsmitter 

is ppowered 

onn 

and functioning g properly, disconnect t the flight bbattery 

fromm 

the contrrol 

unit. 

Then 

reconnect 

the flight battery and d now the ccontrol 

unitt 

should initialize 

and 

arm properly. 

In case the e LED does glow g solid white w but you y have noo 

control oof 

the motoors: 

• After 

blinking rapidly and d changing to t glow soliid 

white, if you do nott 

have 

cont trol of the motors m you have a pos sitive RF link 

between the transmmitter 

and 

rece eiver of the control unit 

but the ESCs/motorss 

did not arrm 

becausee 

the left‐ 

hand d/throttle stick s and/or r throttle tr rim may nott 

be set to tthe 

correctt 

positions. 

Check 

to be sur re the left‐h hand/thrott tle stick is in 

the lowesst 

possible position annd 

the throttle trim m is set to the t middle or a lower than the mmiddle 

position, 

and 

once e in the cor rrect positio ons the ESC Cs/motors wwill 

be armeed. 

After confirming 

the control c unit t is initialize ed and the EESCs/motorrs 

have armmed 

properlly 

your Ultra‐ ‐Micro MD 500D CX 10 00 is ready to t fly. Howeever, 

please 

review thhe 

followingg 

sections of f the manua al BEFORE proceeding p with the firrst 

flight. 

Transm mitter Dual D Rates 

The M4IPH H transmitte er equipped d with a ‘du ual rate’ feaature. 

This ffeature 

allows 

you to 

toggle betw ween the hi igh and low w control rates 

availablle 

for the aileron, 

elevvator 

and 

rudder channels. 

You can toggle between th he high andd 

low rates by pushingg 

‘in’ on the 

left‐hand stick 

on the transmitter 

while the transmitteer 

is powereed 

on. You sshould 

feel a 

‘click’ and also a hear an n audible beep/tone 

that 

indicatees 

which coontrol 

rate mmode 

you 

are in. 

18

Each time the t transmi itter is first powered on o it will auttomaticallyy 

be in the HHIGH 

rate 

mode. In th he high rate e mode the controls ar re allowed tto 

reach thheir 

maximuum 

values, 

typically pr referred by experience ed pilots int terested moost 

in maximmum 

control 

authorityy. 

AND PLEAS SE NOTE TH HAT WHEN IN THE HIG GH RATE MOODE 

IT IS PPOSSIBLE 

TOO 

OVER‐ 

CONTROL THE T HELICO OPTER CAUSING 

A ROT TOR BLADEE 

AND STABBILIZER 

FLYYBAR 

STRIKE. 

This will typ pically happ pen only if making abr rupt movemments 

from one extremme 

to the 

other or if quickly mov ving the rig ght‐hand sti ick ‘to a corrner’ 

(for exxample, 

full 

right 

aileron and d full back/u up elevator r stick move ements at the 

same timme). 

Howevver, 

due to 

the smooth h and stable e flying qua alities of the e Ultra‐Micro 

MD 500D 

CX 100 thhis 

type of 

over‐contro ol should not 

typically y be experie enced. 

By pushing g in on the le eft‐hand stick 

while in n the high raate 

mode yyou 

will swittch 

to the 

LOW rate mode. m You’ ll know you u’ve switche ed to the loow 

rate modde 

after pushing 

in on 

the left‐han nd stick, fee eling the cli ick and also o hearing a dual beep/ /tone. The low 

rate 

mode is typ pically prefe erred by (and 

recomm mended besst 

for) first‐ttime, 

low‐tiime 

and 

other pilots s interested d most in a reduced am mount of coontrol 

authority 

that aallows 

for 

even smoo other and more m easily controlled c hovering h annd 

flying. 

If you ever switch to the t low rate e mode you u’ll know yoou’ve 

switchhed 

back too 

the high 

rate mode after pushi ing in on the 

left‐hand stick, feeling 

the clickk 

and also hhearing 

a

Flight 

Contro ols and d Trimm ming 

In the even nt you are not n familiar r with the controls c of your Ultra‐ ‐Micro MD 500D CX 1100, 

please take e the time to t familiari ize yourself f with themm 

as followss 

and beforre 

attemptiing 

your first flight. 

The left‐hand 

stick on the transm mitter contr rols both throttle 

(climmb/descend) 

and ruddeer 

(yaw 

left/right). When the left‐hand st tick (also kn nown as thee 

‘throttle’ stick) is in tthe 

lowest 

possible po osition and throttle trim m is set to approximat a tely the midddle 

or lowwer 

than thee 

middle pos sition, the main m rotor blades b will not n spin. Addvancing 

thhe 

stick upwward 

will inccrease 

the speed of o the main n rotor blades. 

Increasi ing the speed 

of the mmain 

rotor bblades 

will ccause 

the model to climb. 

Decreasing g the speed of the main 

rotor blad des by loweering 

the lefft‐hand 

sticck 

will causee 

the 

model to descend. 

After lifting g the model 

off the gro ound you ca an ‘hover’ bby 

carefullyy 

moving thhe 

left‐handd 

stick 

up and dow wn slightly as a needed so s the model 

will hold a relativelyy 

stationaryy 

hover without 

climbing or r descendin ng. 

20

Moving the e left‐hand stick to the e left will turn 

(yaw) thhe 

nose of the 

helicoptter 

to the leeft 

around the e axis of the e main shaft t. This is acc complishedd 

by increassing 

the speeed 

of the lower 

main rotor blade while 

decreasin ng the speed 

of the uppper 

main rootor 

blade. 

Moving the e stick to th he right will turn (yaw) the nose oof 

the helicoopter 

to thee 

right arouund 

the 

axis of the main shaft. 

This is accomplished 

by increasing 

the speeed 

of the uppper 

main rrotor 

blade while e decreasing 

the speed d of the low wer main rootor 

blade. 

The rudder r trim is use ed to help keep k the nose 

of the heelicopter 

frrom 

rotating 

to the lefft 

or 

right when in hover an nd with no left‐hand stick 

input. FFor 

examplle, 

if the noose 

of the 

helicopter drifts to the e right whe en in hover, add left ruudder 

trim bby 

pressing the left‐haand 

rudder trim m button un ntil the nose e of the helicopters 

staays 

as closee 

to straightt 

as possible 

with 

no further input. 

21

The right‐h hand stick co ontrols bot th elevator (pitch fore/ /aft) and aileron 

(roll). . Pushing thhe 

stick 

forward will 

pitch the nose of the e helicopter 

downward, 

allowingg 

the helicoppter 

to be fflown 

forward. 

Pulling the 

helicopter 

stick backw ward will pitch 

the tail of the heliccopter 

dowwnward, 

alloowing 

the 

to be flown n backward. 

The elevato or trim can be used to help keep the helicoppter 

from drifting 

forwward 

or backkward 

when in ho over and with 

no right‐ ‐hand stick input. For eexample, 

if f the helicoppter 

drifts fforward 

when in ho over, add ba ack/up elev vator trim until 

the hellicopter 

hovvers 

as leveel 

as possiblle 

with 

no forward d drifting. 

22

Moving the e stick to th he left will roll 

the helic copter to thhe 

left, allowwing 

the heelicopter 

too 

be 

flown to th he left. 

Moving the e stick to th he right will roll the helicopter 

to tthe 

right, aallowing 

thee 

helicopterr 

to be 

flown to th he right. 

The aileron n trim can be b used to help h keep th he entire heelicopter 

frrom 

driftingg 

left or righht 

when 

in hover an nd with no right‐hand r stick s input. For exampple, 

if the heelicopter 

drrifts 

to the rright 

when in ho over, add left 

aileron tr rim until the 

helicopteer 

hovers ass 

level as poossible 

withh 

no 

drifting to the t right. 

And once you’re y familiar 

with the e primary controls c of tthe 

helicopter 

you’re aalmost 

readdy 

to 

fly! 

23

Select ting a Flying F Area A 

When you’ re ready to o make your r first flight you’ll want 

to select aan 

open inddoor

After you’v ve properly trimmed th he helicopter 

and becoome 

familiaar 

with its hhandling 

and 

capabilities s you’ll be able a to fly in n other sma aller and lesss

Flying 

Now that you’ve y selec cted a suitable 

flying area 

and thee 

control unnit 

is initialiized 

and armed, 

your Ultra‐ ‐Micro MD 500D CX 10 00 is ready to t fly. And wwhen 

making 

your firsst 

flights wee 

suggest following 

thes se steps: 

� With h the left‐hand/throttl 

le stick still in the loweest 

possiblee 

position, ppush 

in on tthe 

left‐ ‐hand stick to enter the 

low rate mode m (you should feel 

a ‘click’ annd 

also hear 

a dual 

beep/tone 

as noted n in the e ‘Transmitt ter Dual Rattes’ 

sectionn 

of this maanual). 

� Slow wly increase e the speed of the main 

rotor bladdes 

until thhe 

model beegins 

to lift off by 

raisi ing the left‐ ‐hand/throt ttle stick. Also, A do nott 

raise the sstick 

too quuickly 

as thee 

mod del could climb 

too fas st causing you y to lose control annd/or 

makee 

contact with 

the 

ceili ing or other 

objects ab bove (this is 

one of the 

most commmon 

wayss 

many first‐time 

pilot ts crash). 

� Lift the t model off o the grou und approx ximately 12‐ ‐16 inches aand 

concenntrate 

on 

bala ancing the le eft‐hand/th hrottle stick k position soo 

the helicoopter 

holdss 

a steady hover 

altitude. 

It may y also be he elpful to ma ake a few shhort 

‘hops’ to an altituude 

of just a few 

inch hes until you u’re familiar 

and more e comfortabble 

with thee 

control inputs 

and trim 

settings 

require ed to maint tain a stead dy hover and 

altitude. However, kkeep 

in minnd 

that 

whe en only a few w inches of ff the groun nd you will be in ‘ground 

effect’ wwhich 

will cause 

the helicopter to t move around 

more e than whenn 

you are ouut 

of the efffect 

at 

approximately 

12‐16 inche es high (and d higher). 

24

� You’ll find that it sometimes takes minor throttle adjustments to maintain altitude in 

hover. Remember to keep these adjustments as minimal as possible as large 

adjustments could result in a loss of control and/or a possible crash. 

� While attempting to establish a low‐level hover out of ground effect (approximately 

12‐16 inches high or higher) you can check to see if any trim adjustments are required 

to help keep the helicopter from constantly drifting in various directions. If you find 

the helicopter constantly drifts without any directional control input it may be best to 

land the model before making any adjustments to the trim settings using the trim 

buttons on the transmitter (you can find more information regarding the location and 

function of the trim buttons in the ‘Understanding the Flight Controls and Trimming’ 

section of this manual): 

o If the nose of the helicopter is drifting to the left or right adjust the rudder trim. 

o If the helicopter is drifting forward or backward adjust the elevator trim. 

o If the entire helicopter is drifting to the left or right adjust the aileron trim. 

It’s important to continue making trim adjustments as needed until the helicopter can 

hover at an altitude of approximately 12‐16 inches (or higher) with very little drifting or 

directional control input. And while it’s not possible to eliminate all drifting completely 

using the trims it is possible to get very close. Also, if this is your first helicopter model 

it may be best to enlist the help of an experienced helicopter pilot to trim the model 

for you before making your first flight. 

� When the helicopter is properly trimmed, maintain a stable hover and practice using 

the rudder, elevator and aileron controls to get a feel for how the helicopter responds 

to various control inputs. Remember to keep the control inputs as minimal as possible 

to prevent over‐controlling the helicopter. 

� Continue to practice until you’re comfortable hovering the helicopter at approximately 

12‐16 inches high. Then you can transition to hovering the helicopter at higher 

altitudes of approximately three to four feet. 

� If at any time during flight you feel like the helicopter is drifting out of/beyond your 

control, simply release all of the controls except for throttle. The throttle will be 

needed to maintain altitude, but due to the inherent stability of the coaxial, counter‐ 

rotating blade design, releasing all of the other controls will allow the helicopter to 

return to a stable hover on its own.

Transm mitter and a Re eceiver r Bindinng/Linkking 

Binding/linking 

is the process of programmi ing the receeiver 

on thee 

control unnit 

to recoggnize 

the Globally 

Unique Id dentifier (GUID) 

code of o a single sspecific 

trannsmitter. 

If you ever find 

it’s 

necessary to t replace the t transmitter 

or the receiver/coontrol 

unit it will be neecessary 

for 

you 

to bind/link k the new transmitter t or receiver r/control unnit 

accordinngly 

for prooper 

operation. 

These steps 

outline th he binding/l linking proc cess: 

� Be sure s the flig ght battery is disconnected 

from tthe 

control unit and thhe 

transmittter 

is 

pow wered off. 

� Plug g the flight battery b into o the contro ol unit. 

� With hin 5 seconds 

of powe ering on the e receiver/ccontrol

� Afte er powering g on the transmitter 

while 

pushing 

in on the left‐hand/tthrottle 

sticck, 

the 

tran nsmitter will 

emit a ser ries of beep ps/tones and 

the LED indicator 

at the top of the

flash red rapidly. r This s indicates the transmmitter 

is in thhe

is blinking you 

can releaase 

the stickk. 

� Afte er approxim mately 5‐10 seconds the 

receiver/ /control unit 

should bee 

bound/linked 

to 

the transmitter r. This can be b identified 

by the LEED 

indicatorr 

on the hellicopter 

chaanging 

from m flashing ra apidly to glowing

should noow 

have full 

control off 

the 

helic copter and the linking/ /binding pr rocess is complete.
