Start pulling aft cyclic to enter the loop and as the model transitions to inverted
at the top of the loop pull back on the throttle (towards negative (–) collective).
This will help maintain altitude. As the model returns back to vertical add some
positive (+) collective to maintain the speed. One of the most common mistakes
made on loops is using too much negative (–) collective at the top.
Flips: Be certain to start with plenty of altitude. From an upright hover slowly
add in full forward cyclic. As the model approaches vertical, bring the collective
stick back to center. Now, as the model continues to inverted, you will need to
start adding in negative (–) collective (or pull the collective stick back towards
yourself). As the model transitions back to vertical, again bring the collective
stick back to the middle and start adding in positive (+) collective as the model
returns back to upright. It’s simply a matter of timing. The most important thing
is, do not throw the sticks around. This can cause the head speed to drop and
may cause the tail to drift.
Inverted Hovering: Keep in mind flying a helicopter inverted is difficult but with
practice it can be learned. One of the main problems is 3 out of 4 of the controls
are reversed (forward/aft cyclic, collective and tail rotor). You have to mentally
reverse these while flying. It will take some practice. Take the loop you learned
above and just hold the inverted portion for short periods of time. As you become
accustomed to the reversed controls, you will extend the time inverted. Also,
make sure you have plenty of altitude for recovery if needed.

Your AXE CP 100 uses the SLT protocol. This
means that with the simple addition of the Tactic
Anylink, ™ you can enjoy your Heli-Max AXE 100
CP with nearly any transmitter.
Here is a set of setup guidelines to help you get started.
FUTABA: You will fi nd that regardless of the Futaba system you chose the
basic setup is the same. This includes the Futaba 6EX, 7C, T6J, TJ8 as well
as others. Here we have listed out the setup of a Futaba T6J transmitter
below. It’s also worth noting that even though the AXE 100 CP uses 120
deg CCPM (Cyclic-collective-pitch-mixing) that with the Heli-Max TAGS
system you must select always the 90 deg swash arrangement. In a Futaba
system this is called H-1 or 1-S under swash-plate type.
