INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Heli-Max AXE ™ CX Micro
Helicopter. We are certain you will get many hours of enjoyment
out of this model. If you should have any questions or concerns
please feel free to contact us at [email protected].
For the latest technical updates or manual corrections to the
AXE CX Micro visit the Heli-Max web site at:
www.helimax-rc.com
Open the “Helicopters” link, and then select the AXE CX
Micro. If there is new technical information or changes to this
model a “tech notice” box will appear in the upper left corner
of the page.
CAUTION: Be aware that the AXE CX Micro operates on
the same frequency band as larger R/C models. If fl ying
your AXE CX Micro within fi ve miles of an R/C site, there
is a real possibility that you could be operating your model
on the same frequency (channel) as another R/C pilot.
If this happens, a crash will result–with the person fl ying
the more expensive model suffering the greater loss (and
having greater potential for property damage or injury).
The best thing to do is to join an R/C club and fl y at the
site where frequency control measures will be in effect. If
you insist on fl ying elsewhere, always be aware of your
proximity to R/C fl ying sites.
AMA
We urge you to join the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics)
and a local R/C club. The AMA is the governing body of model
aviation and membership is required to fl y at AMA clubs.
Though joining the AMA provides many benefi ts, one of the
primary reasons to join is liability protection. Coverage is not
limited to fl ying at contests or on the club fi eld. It even applies
to fl ying at public demonstrations and air shows. Failure to
comply with the Safety Code (excerpts printed in the back of
the manual) may endanger insurance coverage. Additionally,
training programs and instructors are available at AMA club
sites to help you get started the right way. There are over
2,500 AMA chartered clubs across the country. Contact the
AMA at the address or toll-free phone number below.
IMPORTANT!!! Two of the most important things you can
do to preserve the radio controlled model hobby are to avoid
fl ying near full-scale aircraft and avoid fl ying near or over
groups of people.
IDENTIFY YOUR MODEL
No matter if you fl y at an AMA sanctioned R/C club site or
if you fl y somewhere on your own, you should always have
your name, address, telephone number and AMA number
on or inside your model. It is required at all AMA R/C club
fl ying sites and AMA sanctioned fl ying events. Fill out the
identifi cation tag on the back cover page and place it on or
inside your model.
AMA SAFETY CODE (excerpts)
Read and abide by the following excerpts from the Academy
of Model Aeronautics Safety Code. For the complete Safety
Code refer to Model Aviation magazine, the AMA web site or
the Code that came with your AMA license.
GENERAL
1) I will not fl y my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air shows,
or model fl ying demonstrations until it has been proven to be
airworthy by having been previously successfully fl ight tested.
2) I will not fl y my model aircraft higher than approximately
400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the
airport operator. I will give right-of-way and avoid fl ying in the
proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where necessary, an observer
shall be utilized to supervise fl ying to avoid having models fl y
in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.
3) Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the
fl ying site I use, and I will not willfully and deliberately fl y my
models in a careless, reckless and/or dangerous manner.
