Thank you for purchasing the Heli-Max AXE ™ EZ 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 EZ visit the Heli-Max web site at:
www.helimax-rc.com
Open the “Helicopters” link, and then select the AXE EZ. 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.
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 fly at AMA clubs. Though joining the AMA
provides many benefits, one of the primary reasons to join
is liability protection. Coverage is not limited to flying at
contests or on the club field. It even applies to flying 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
flying near full-scale aircraft and avoid flying near or over
groups of people.
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in
severe injury to yourself and others.
Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from
the plane of rotation of the rotors whenever the battery
is connected.
Keep these items away from the rotors: loose clothing, shirt
sleeves, ties, scarfs, long hair or loose objects such as
pencils or screwdrivers that may fall out of shirt or jacket
pockets into the rotors.
The spinning blades of a model helicopter can cause
serious injury. When choosing a flying site for your AXE EZ,
stay clear of buildings, trees and power lines. AVOID flying
in or near crowded areas. DO NOT fly close to people,
children or pets. Maintain a safe pilot-to-helicopter distance
while flying.

CAUTION: Be aware that the AXE EZ operates
on the same frequency band as larger R/C models. If
flying your AXE EZ within five 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
flying 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
fly at the site where frequency control measures will be
in effect. If you insist on flying elsewhere, always be
aware of your proximity to R/C flying sites.
