[:@] Word of Warning!!!!!! [X(]

ON AXE CP ...major desing weakness...Be carefull with screw that holds the Tail Shaft(HMXE9560). If you use a screw that is even the slights bit longer than the one that comes there or tighten too much, you may short the wires to the tail motor thereby frying the e-board!
I have heard of a few other people with this same issue. Turns out the screw size needed is a 2x3mm. You probably substituted a 2x4mm! OUCH! [:@] As a matter of fact, Heli-Max does not make this as a buyable part in their hardware packs. [>:] Therefore, us "Axe Operators" must make our own by grinding down a longer screw. [&:] Heli-Max Customer Support will probably send you a new 3 in 1 board as long as your Axe is within warrantee. Excellent service and a class company (should be for what they charge for parts)! Let us know what they say...
