    13. Razor Knife (X-acto) Other required components: The X-Cell Whiplash is an airframe kit. To complete the model, several other items are required but are not included with the kit. There are many choices for these other required components, and any competent hobby retailer with R/C helicopter experience will be happy to make suggestions.
  • Page 6 • It is very important to lightly sand the edges of all carbon fiber pieces. Miniature Aircraft USA recommends doing so prior to the assembly process. Carbon fiber edges are sharp and can easily cut component wires and battery mounting straps.
  • Page 7 Kit Contents Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the contents of the kit. The Whiplash kit has been broken down into three “bags”. Each bag contains parts and hardware. The hardware for each bag will be used only for that bag. There will be no left over parts after each bag is assembled.

  • Page 34: Basic Model/Radio Set Up

    Basic Model/Radio set up The X-Cell Whiplash is an eCCPM model. This means that the servos that are connected to the swashplate move together to achieve the function requested from the transmitter input. The transmitter mixes the channels required to achieve the correct movement of the swashplate.

  • Page 35: Swashplate Eccpm Set Up

    Swashplate eCCPM Set Up: Now that you’ve built your new Whiplash helicopter, you have to make the servos work together. The Whiplash is an eCCPM model, and requires a specific radio program for the servos that control the swashplate. eCCPM is a mix that is already programmed in your transmitter, you just have to fine tune it to your Whiplash and here’s how: The very first thing you need to do is tell your radio that a 120 degree eCCPM mix must be used.

  • Page 36: Pitch Curve Set Up

    Pitch Curve Set Up: It is important that you build your model to exactly the way described in this manual. Make sure all your linkage rods are exactly the length determined in the manual included with your helicopter kit. First, go to the pitch curve menu in your radio for Idle up 1, or Stunt mode 1. You’ll see numbers, a graph or both. There will generally be 5 points you can adjust.

  • Page 37: Throttle Curve Set Up

    If you have chosen a Flybarless model, it is possible to fly your model without additional stabilization electronics, but Miniature Aircraft USA highly recommends using Flybarless Stabilization Electronics. There are several that are commercially available, and while they all generally accomplish the same thing, they all are set up and programmed differently.
