RE: axe cp help?

Motor life will always be a problem with these helis. After 11 mos. I finally parked mine due to the cost of replacements. But then again I'd fly 6 packs a day.

RE: Axe Cp Problems (No Lift)

Sounds like you did follow the book... but it is wrong. At least the CP-L (V2?) book's exploded diagram of the head and grips was.

Most likely you have the blade grips reversed.

RE: Axe CP Issues

The 3 in 1's pot(s) should NOT rotate more than about 270 deg. (~3/4 rotation).

If it is turning continuously, something is wrong.

RE: having problem with my axe cpv3

If the main rotor IS working then it could be a problem with the 3 in 1 board (tail ESC), the connection to the motor, a Rx connection problem.

If you're sure the tail motor and capacitor is...

RE: Help

The manual is of little use in this case.

SAVE and/or PRINT that graphic Mr. S-99 has provided.

You'll need it again.

RE: Spectrum DX7 binding question

I agree with AN above.

If you have the battery plugged in backwards it will not power up, thus no led. (The bind plug however is not polarized.)

RE: WHAT GYRO WORKS GOOD ON A CPV3

Sorry,

I only have experience with the GY240 on an Axe CP-l (a.k.a. v2). It worked great!

RE: axe cp thread

I never had to remove anything to get the main motor out/in but it does take some patience to remove / replace those screws.

You will have to solder eventually as the new ones don't have leads...

RE: axe cp thread

joebecerra1947,

I never had to separate or even loosen the frame to replace the main motor (3 times, ughhh).

Unsolder it, remove the heatsink and you can "wiggle" it out.

RE: newbbbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeee

That's what I started with. Actually a CP-l (v2?).

I flew it for a year.

Great for teaching hovering, flying basics, and eCCPM setup & repair.

RE: Little to no Lift - AXE CP-L

Well, yes, depending on the definition of slightly, the leading or fat edge of the blades should move up as the swash moves down.

The problem for me to help you with certainty is that my Axe...

RE: BEC or Voltage regulator

If your skilled in such things, shortening wires is not a bad thing.

RE: Little to no Lift - AXE CP-L

OK,

That 3 pin thing sounds like a servo connector (not sure as I can't see it. (ha, ha))

Nothing requires relearning with a stock Axe so you're OK there.

But you could have reversed...

RE: Little to no Lift - AXE CP-L

You said: "No collective".
Does the swash plate move down as you increase the throttle i.e. move the left Tx stick up?

If no then there may be an issue with the Tx. ( The...

RE: BEC or Voltage regulator

Can you be more specific?

Do you have an ESC already?

Many ESCs contain a BEC, or do you have special current capacity needs?

RE: Anyone buy here

What guys?

The CP v3 blades have a thicker root than the earlier models so CP & CP-l compatible (aftermarket or 3rd party) blades will not work without spacers or similar.
