Axe Cp collective the wrong way???
I got this from a fellow member of club I belong too.
He told me he just gives up!!!.
It has been crashed twice. I have now but all new parts in the rotor head and new blades.
The blades are mounted the correct direction and it is rotating clockwise.
I disconnected both motors and with the left stick all the way down the blades and the fly-bar are level.
When I apply the left stick the blades pull down.
I think they are suppose to go up.
HELP!!!
I do not know what I did wrong putting it back together.
Please let me know.
Thank you

Tech help just got back with me.
DO NOT FOLLOW THE PICTURES IN THE MANUAL.
I took it all apart to replace parts like I said.
Then used the manual pictures to put it back together.
They are wrong. All the pictures in the manual are backwards.
Long and the short of it, make sure the ball links for the main blades are on the trailing edge of the blade.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help.

Aha!! There is an updated picture on HeliMax website to correct that!!
You'll notice that now the hex inserts for the screws that hold the blades on are now on the TOP! I just screw mine in upside down - others say they just screw them in from the top and that the nut doesn't spin, but it did for me so that's why upside down.
