RE: axe cp thread
well I haven't given up yet I placed my order for replacement parts, took the drive system apart last night and lubed all bushing /bearing contact surfaces with a dry graphite lube, put it all back together , by this time the new lipo that was finally able to be charged ( forgot to buy balancer when I got the battery and charger )turned on the radio plugged in the lipo and did some no main blades installed testing and reseting of e board, between lube and liupo motor speed sounds alot better, tail motor isn't coming on unless the copter is moved to one sideand as movement to opposing side becomes approx where copter started movement from tail motor stops
I figured out the "idle up" switch and what it does , which heli max should of included in thier instruction since this is supposed to be a beginer copter, for anyone that doesn't know what the "idle up " does it puts the heli motor to max, and changed throttle stick to main blade pitch control, 50% throttle = 0 degree pitch, 100%+ throttle(up) = 100% +pitch ie heli should climb rapidly, -100% Throttle (down /idle setting) = -100% pitch ie an upright heli will drop fast , an inverted one will climb., or in the case of theaxe cp it should do these things at the given motor speed and blade pitch, als o motor speed will not drop off till idle up switch is turned off.kinda funny they tell you how to go inverted in the manual but left out the part that the idle up had to be on to make it possible lol
