  • Page 6 ® TRANSMITTER (RTF Model) TRANSMITTER (RTF Model) Please fully read the transmitter manual included with your helicopter to learn more about how to use and adjust your TX610. IMPORTANT TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS The Throttle Hold Switch (HOLD/ FLAP) is used to disable the power output of the motor but has no effect on the other controls.
  • Page 7 (See how this is done in the TX610 Manual.) If you decide to do a system reset, the factory setup numbers to the Heli-Max AXE100 SS/SSL are listed here. Below are the factory default parameters (Model Memory 8) for your AXE100 SS/SSL Helicopter.
  • Page 8 ® GETTING THE MODEL READY TO FLY GETTING THE MODEL READY TO FLY INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE TRANSMITTER Remove the battery cover from the back of the transmitter and install eight “A A” bat ter ies into the transmit ter. Double - check the polarity of each batter y before replacing the battery cover.

  • Page 9: Install The Flight Battery

    Now is a good time to make sure the electronic trim buttons on the transmitter are centered. We do not need to use them as the Incredible Heli-Max TAGS™ system controls all flight center trims.
  • Page 10 LINKING LINKING Your AXE100 SS/SSL RTF comes with the transmitter pre-linked to the helicopter. The Tx-R version requires you to complete this using your transmitter and an Anylink. Also, if you need to link or re-link for any reason, here is the proper procedure to do so.
  • Page 11 This includes the Futaba 6EX, 7C, T6J, TJ8 as well as others. We have listed the setup of a Futaba T6J transmitter. It’s also worth noting that even though the AXE100 SS/SSL uses 120 degree CCPM (Cyclic- collective-pitch-mixing), with the Heli-Max TAGS system you must select the 90 degree swash arrangement.

  • Page 13 During “spool up” It is important to note that the torque of the main blades can cause the helicopter to rotate slightly clockwise. This is normal. Your AXE 100 SS/SSL has the incredible Heli-Max TAGS system. The TAGS system takes care of all center trim function the transmitter. Having said this you do not need, or want, to move or adjust the trim buttons during flight.
  • Page 14 So you are getting comfortable in fast forward flight? Well, now it’s time to slowly progress into aerobatics. Your AXE100 SS/SSL is more than capable of full aerobatic performance. Once you are in forward flight start using the idle up switch.
