Default RE: Novus Cp Problems/Plz Help!

EVERY TIME you turn on your NOVUS TX it is LOOKING to BIND with the RX! The NOVUS series from Helimax is a copy of the Walkera based products, so your Novus CP is the stripped down version of a WALKERA 4g3.

The trick is to line-up the nano-sized plugs between the 3.7v lipo & the 4 in 1 (that's the 2.4ghz RX, Main & Tail motor ESC's & Rate Gyro). But DON'T PLUG THEM IN, now reach over & turn ON the TX (it will start to flash), NOW plug in the lipo! You should here the intalization beeps, put the heli down on a flat surface, and let it finish intalizing. When the TX light goes steady on (from flashing), your ready to fly!

As far as your vibration is concerned, my first bet is that the Feathering Spindle is BENT since it is the weakest componet on the heli, or you need to track the blades! If the feathering spindle is bent, you can check it by removing the blades, insert a #0 phillips screwdriver into the blade grip and turn it, if you see that blade grip or the other move up & down or side to side, then the FS is bent (replace it).
To check/adjust blade tracking, first we need to know which blade is HIGH. If you have the stock foamies, they should have colored tape on the tips of the blades, carefully hold the heli by the battery tray & spin up the rotors, you should be able to see one blade tracking higher than the other (red or blue), whichever blade is HIGH is the one were after. We adjust the linkage that goes from the swashplate to the Bell-Hiller mixing arm, to adjust tracking. If the blade is high, shorten the likage. Then recheck your work!
