CONTROLS

Always turn the transmitter on fi rst and verify the idle up switch is set to normal.
With the AXE CP 2.4GHz RTF sitting still, plug the battery into the ESC. The
AXE CP 2.4GHz RTF will need to sit still for 10 seconds so the gyro can initialize
and can determine center. If the AXE CP 2.4GHz RTF is moved during this
initialization, then the gyro will not operate properly. Re-install the body and your
AXE CP 2.4GHz RTF is ready for fl ying.

There is a safety built into the AXE CP 2.4GHz RTF that prevents the motor from
activating unless the collective stick has been lowered to its lowest position. If
the motor won’t run and turn the main blades, please make sure the collective
stick is all the way down and leave it there for two seconds.

TRANSMITTER CONTROLS

All controls are described
with the tail pointing directly
toward you. This is the best
way to start out since it keeps
the control inputs oriented
in the same direction. Once
you become comfortable
you can work on side-in and
nose-in hovering.

Idle Up Switch:

Used

for forward flight and
aerobatics. This switch
raises the main rotor RPM
and also changes the lowest
position on the throttle stick
to around 40% throttle. This
allows the AXE CP 2.4GHz
RTF to perform aerobatics
and inverted flight. This
can be a dangerous switch
since it raises the throttle.

Be extremely careful
not to hit this switch
accidentally or the motor
will instantly come on to
at least 40% power.
