SET UP QUICK REFERENCE

Please use this table as a reference while setting up the Axe 400 Rx-R. Please refer to your manufacturer’s transmitter

instructions to ensure that the model is set up correctly. Once the model is set up, verify that the controls operate as

described in the Heli-Max Axe 400 RTF manual.

*Leave the trim step set to 4 until the initial trim ﬂ ight is completed. Then you can reduce the trim step to 1 for a ﬁ ner

adjustment.

FINAL SET UP

Mount the receiver using double sided tape as shown below. Using a wire tie, bundle the wires and place them on top of the receiver.

This ensures that the wires cannot become entangled in the main rotor gear or the counter gear that drives the tail rotor.

Disconnect the main drive motor from the ESC. Turn your

transmitter on. Install a ﬂ ight battery into the helicopter and

connect the battery to the ESC. Allow the gyro 5 seconds

to initialize.

Verify that you have disconnected the drive motor. Carefully

raise the throttle stick to the middle position. The servos,

blade grips and all the mixing levers should be perfectly

level. If necessary please make adjustments to the servo

arms, linkages or to the radio set up. Linkage lengths are

listed in the Heli-Max Axe 400 RTF manual.
