❏ 1. Attach the “loop” side of the hook-and-loop material to
the batter y. Mount the batter y to the batter y tray.
❏ 2. For saf ety, do not install the main b lades while perf orming
bench setup.
❏ 3. Lower the throttle stick all the way and turn on the
transmitter. Connect your battery to the ESC. If the ESC has
a BEC switch, tur n it on.
❏ 4. Check all the servos to see if they are centered. Since
you set the center points as you set up the linkages, they
should already be very close. Use the trims or subtrims on
the transmitter to center the controls.
❏ 5. Make certain that the swash plate and the motor
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram. To
operate the motor, you may have to “ar m” your ESC. Follow
the instructions that came with your ESC to do this. If any of
the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo
reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos connected
to those controls. Be certain the servos have remained
centered. Adjust if necessar y.
❏ 1. Balance your main blades using the Heli-Max Blade
Balancer (HMXR4855). Do so according to the instructions
that came with your balancer.
❏ 2. Attach the main rotor blades. The blades should be
tight enough in the grips to hold their position when moved,
but still move easily by hand.
❏ 1. Cut out the pitch template from the last page of this
manual and slip it over one of the main blades.
❏ 2. We recommend 8 degrees of maximum collective pitch
in both directions as a starting point. Check to see that the
bottom of the pitch template is level with the flybar at maxim um
positive pitch and the top of the template is le v el with the flybar
at full negative collective pitch. Adjust your linkages or radio
endpoints if necessar y to achieve these values.
❏ 3. Once you are comf ortable with the helicopter, f eel free to
increase or decrease this pitch value to suit your flying style.
WARNING: Disconnect the motor from the ESC to prevent
accidental startup while performing pitch adjustment.
