RE: How to Set CPV3 Pitch? And Blade Track?

Adjust the length of the links that connect the servos to the swash plate to alter the collective pitch. In the case of the helimax axe V1, V2 and V3, making the link length longer will reduce...

The gyro keeps the tail from spinning around uncontrollably. There is alot more to it, but that essentially is its function.

RE: Helimax 400 3d

The axe 400 looks like an ACP on steroids, nothing like a Trex 450 at all, or atleast the V2 SE version. I would really like to know how the Axe 400 "flys better" than the B400, not just a hop or...

RE: axe cp jumps

In defense of the axe, I agree, despite its issues (every heli has um) it is one tough little bird. One of the reasons I keep coming back to it. That and the relatively inexpensive parts. The ACP can...

I have 4 flyable ACPs. 2 stock, one heavily modified (previous post) and one frankenaxe. The only stock left on franky is the chassis and main gear. LOL. You may ask why spend the time, money and...

RE: axe cp jumps

After several frustrating months last year with the axe in stock configuration, I upgraded to a Futaba 7c radio. This alone did nothing to solve my issue of the heli jumping(eliminate electronics). I...

RE: Axe Parts Compatibility between models

M2 nut, available most any LHS or online hobby store. I bought in bulk from here because everything but the motor mount is 2mm bolt or 2 mm screw.

RE: axe cp leans

This is normal, especially noticeable in a smaller heli. Not to worry. Someone will jump in and give an explanation as to why this phenomenon occurs. Best thing is to just ignore or get used to...

RE: HH gyro on AxeCPv3

Yes. The gyro and esc dont care what receiver you use so go ahead and hook them up. However, for just a few dollars you can find a receiver crystal that matches your Tx. That way you can use the 6ex....

RE: HH gyro on AxeCPv3

The stock receiver is compatible with Futaba 72MHz transmitter. So as long as the Rx and Tx are on the same frequency, you are good to go with your 6ex.

RE: HBK2 + AXE = belt driven tail

I made a bushing to fit the boom. I like the inexpensive knitting needle replacement. Front pulley is HBK2 modded to fit the 6mm main shaft and the belt is from the align 450 tail. There was just...

RE: HBK2 + AXE = belt driven tail

Looks real good. Very similar to the way I did mine. I used an align 450 tail instead of the HBK2, but the end result is the same. A tame heli that I fly instead of chasing it all over.

Sounds like you inadvertently switched the rotation direction of the tail rotor blades by installing the belt on the tail shaft backwards. The blades should rotate up into the the main rotor wash. In...
