Many months ago I crashed my CP and tore it down to repair it. Not a major crash, but I thought that it would be a good idea to replace the mainshaft as just in case. After getting frustrated during the tear-down, I put it all in a box and 'shelved it'. My problem now is that it's been so long since I tore it down, I don't recall how it goes back together. I've got the exploded veiw in the back of the manual, but it's a bit tough for me to decipher.
Does anyone have a better or more descriptive veiw of the mainshaft assembly? I thought that it might be fun to get it going again, but I'm thinking that I'll just stick to my Trex.....
Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers! BH

After messing with this thing most of the evening, I decided I've wasted enough time on this thing and sent it for it's last ride in the back of the garbage truck.
I'll give credit to Heli-Max for their advertising, but I've learned my lesson. I'll stick to flying my Trex. Truth be told, I could have built another Trex for what I'd invested in the Axe. All of the time that I wasted bothers me more than the money.

Cheers!! BH .....and Good Luck.

I have the same helicopters as you.

How can you fly and maintain a Trex, but not be able to rebuild an Axe with the manufacturers documentation?

I can't help in re-assembly,but if you have not thrown it away yet,I will buy it for spare parts for my CP-L.

Let me know if you would like to do this.

Thanks.

r william, I did managed to rebuild and fly (if can call it that) the AXE. It never flew well and (to me) was a constant source of aggravation. The Trex has been a fantastic heli and flying and maitenance has never been an issue. The placement of the bearing bushings on the main shaft were my main concern on the Axe, but I figured it out.

cptbhern, I've got alot of spare parts for this heli. Some new and some barely used. If you'd be interested in them, I can PM you with a list.

Cheers! BH
