  • Page 8: Dual Rates

    DUAL RATES The transmitter has a dual rate function. This feature toggles between a flight mode that reduces the model’s range of motion to make the AXE 100 CX easer to fly and one that allows the full range of motion so the AXE 100 CX can fly in a more aggressive manner.
  • Page 9: Servo Reversing

    SERVO REVERSING This transmitter uses the Tactic SLT protocol and can be used with other SLT receivers. In those applications, it may be necessary to reverse the servo travel direction as follows: With the transmitter OFF, push and “hold” the rudder trim button to the right and the throttle trim button down.
  • Page 10 , JR , Spectrum or other compatible system, you can fly your Heli-Max AXE 100 CX with a familiar transmitter. Any other SLT compatible aircraft transmitters like the Tactic TTX402/TTX403 can also be used with the 100 CX. The following setup guides for Futaba, Spektrum, and Tactic systems should work for most transmitters that are currently available.
  • Page 11: Preflight Procedures

    ® PREFLIGHT PROCEDURES PREFLIGHT PROCEDURES Electric motors are very dangerous. Do not work on the model while the fl ight battery is plugged in as interference may cause the main rotor blades to spin, possibly causing injury. ● Examine the model for any loose screws and damaged parts. Make sure that the linkage and the rotor blades are not loose.
  • Page 12: Basic Maneuvers

    LANDING Level the helicopter into a steady hover and slowly decrease power until the helicopter settles onto the ground. You might notice as the helicopter is ready to touch down it moves around a little. This is normal as the helicopter enters ground effect.
  • Page 13: Maintenance

    ® MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE We will describe a few simple repairs that you can do to your helicopter. We will list the steps needed to remove the part with the understanding that to reassemble, one just follows the steps in the reverse order. NOTE: It’s a good idea to use a small tray with a magnet below it to help secure the small screws.

    REMOVING THE MAIN SHAFTS The inner rotor shaft can be removed after the lower main gear is loose. If this part is to be replaced, the upper rotor blade and flybar will have to be removed and transferred to the new rotor shaft. Before the outer rotor shaft can be removed, the links from the servos need to be removed from the swashplate.
