Default Heli-Max Axe Ez....Please Read everyone

I have an axe ez that requires me to have my swashplate angled as far right cyclic as possible to mantain a stable hover. If i dont my bird tends to BANK heavy left. I havent adjusted any of the gain or throttle pots and was curious if the problem may be the swashplate itself. I would appreciate anything said on this matter.

Your swashplate should be LEVEL, although most single rotor heli's tend to list to the right during flight. I would check the servo linkages, are they equal in length, is there excessive play between the servo horn & swashplate linkages? Also check the servos, do they have stripped gears? Left & right balance could throw the heli off severely as well, (with your lower blades running fore/aft, lift heli up holding blade tips at mid-chord, does it list left/right?)
Just a few ideas for you to ponder.

also, you might check for a bent link between your flybar and top blade holders. If it is not bent then lengthen it 1/2 turn and see if that helps. If it makes it worse, then shorten it 1 turn. If it doesnt get any better, set it back like it was. my swash is not level, but the heli has flown great for 30+ flights and it came from the factory unlevel (tilted to the front). Unless I break it or find out otherwise, Im just going to leave it. I tried leveling it out and had the same problem you are having so I put it back.

thanks for the heads up guys. I just took my whole assembly apart and cleaned all bearings with lighter fluid to remove all gunk and dirt. I noticed that the swashplate is 3 pieces and the configuration of all three pieces need to be straight and level(If youve taken your s apart you know what i mean.)

Does anyone know where i can get a pretty good tail boom kit for cheap??
Has anyone seen heat sinks for the 130's because they be hot!
And anyone that did that 130 to 180 conversion.....do the 180s get as hot and have you fried any 4in1s and do the connectors from the 180s fit the board for the ez?
Has anyone tried a bigger battery than the 7.4v 800maH

And And And

thnks
