ELECTRIC MOTOR WARNING
Electric motors are very dangerous. Do not work on the
model while the fl ight battery is plugged in as interference
may cause the main rotor blades to spin, possibly causing
injury to yourself.
INSTALL THE BATTERY
Slide the battery into the AXE CX Micro as shown in the
photo above.
TURNING THE MODEL ON
Always turn the transmitter on fi rst and then extend the
transmitter antenna. With the AXE CX Micro sitting still, plug
the battery into the ESC. The AXE CX Micro will need to sit
still for 10 seconds so the gyro can initialize and determine
center. Once the gyro has initialized the indicator light will
glow solid green, indicating that the model is ready to fl y.
If the AXE CX Micro is moved during this initialization, the
gyro will not operate properly and the indicator light will
continue to fl ash. If the indicator light continues to fl ash
upon connecting the battery it may be an indication that the
battery needs charging.
Always step 15 feet away from the AXE CX Micro before
operating the throttle. Do not hold onto the model and run it
up. Safety fi rst.
A safe start is built into the AXE CX Micro 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 a couple of seconds.
Then try moving the stick up slowly.
RANGE CHECK
Ground check the operational range of your radio before the
fi rst fl ight of the day. For safety reasons, unplug the main
motor so power cannot be applied to the main rotor blades.
With the transmitter antenna collapsed and the receiver and
transmitter on, you should be able to walk at least 50 feet
away from the model and still have control. Have an assistant
stand by your model and while you work the controls, tell
you what the servos are doing. If the controls do not respond
correctly, do not fl y! Find and correct the problem fi rst. Look
for loose servo connections or broken wires, corroded wires
on old servo connectors, poor solder joints in your battery
pack or a defective cell or a damaged receiver crystal from
a previous crash.
BALANCE THE MAIN BLADES
The AXE CX Micro main rotor blades are already balanced
and ready to fl y.
