Axe CP setup guide
 

Is there a setup guide for the Axe CP? Like where servo arms should be with sticks centered, where the various parts of the head should be as far as alignment, how they move relative to stick inputs, etc.

There is an online manual available from Helimax. Just download it for free.

your servo arms should be paralell with the ground when centered and the sticks at neutral.

Total newbie here, When I connect the battery and the stick is at neutral, one of my servo arms is lower than the horizontal. How do I correct this??

Thanks

make sure your trims are centered also.

OK, it says with the throttle cut off in normal mode, all arms should be level. Should the bottom of the flat bottom main blades be level also? Also, one of my main blades can be rotated, flipping the blade grip control ball almost 180 degrees - is this just slop in the plastic parts? Or is this expected with a little force?

Also, is there a trim pot in the servos accessible by removing the servo arm (like in Futaba's servos)?

In normal mode your servo arms will level when your throttle is all the way down, however, there will be some positive pitch to your blades. To adjust how much pitch, you'll need to zero pitch the blades at 50% during Idle Up mode. To do this, disconnect one of the leads to your main motor and disconnect the Deans connector going to your tail. Power on your transmitter, plug in your battery, then flip the Idle Up switch. Move your throttle to 50% and at this point, your blades should have zero pitch. Adjust the grip links by 180° increments to get it to zero pitch.

As for the blades flipping 180°, at the point right before 90°, there will be some resistance. If I give it some force, it'll switch sides too. However, it shouldn't go passed this point normally - it actually won't go near this point during flight at all.

Thanx - man, you guys are a wealth of info!

I checked and all my trims are centered.... I'm just curious to how to realign it... is it jut to uscrew the servo arm and reposition it, or is this going to screw up the gears inside the servo....

Thanks
