OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
CAUTION! A separate Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC) must be used If you decide to change the stock servos (Futaba
S3114) to some other type of analog or digital servos. We highly recommend the Castle Creations CC BEC 10A Switching
Regulator (CSEM0005).
DANGER! Please allow a 10 minute cool down period after each fl ight for the Electronic Speed Control (ESC). Failure to do
so may cause loss of control due to the ESC overheating and shutting down.
DANGER! Please inspect the wooden main rotor blades before each fl ight for damage. If any damage is found or if the
blades have been crashed, please replace the blades before fl ying the model again.
CAUTION! If the rotor head speed ever drops suddenly in fl ight, please land the model immediately and remove the body.
Inspect the battery temperature and ensure that it has not exceeded 140°F. Also ensure that the ESC has not overheated.
The ESC does have a thermal protection built in that will reduce the power output to safe levels when the safe operating
temperatures have been exceeded. If this has occurred, please allow the model 10 minutes to cool down.
WARNING! The ESC does have a soft cut function that will reduce the power output to protect the fl ight battery. Toward the end
of a fl ight, if you notice a slight power reduction, land the model immediately and re-charge the battery. The fl ight time of the Axe
400 can be as long as 10 minutes, but this will vary depending on your fl ying style or how aggressively you fl y the model.
CAUTION! After a crash you must inspect all plastic and metal parts on the helicopter for damage before fl ying the model again.
