Moving the cyclic stick forward (away from you) will cause
the helicopter to tilt forward and start moving that direction.
Moving the collective stick up (away from you) will cause the
helicopter to climb higher.
Moving the collective stick down (towards you) will cause
the helicopter to descend.
Moving the tail rotor stick towards the left will cause the
helicopter nose to rotate left (counterclockwise).
Moving the tail rotor stick towards the right will cause the
helicopter nose to rotate right (clockwise).
The training gear is a big help to beginners. They soften not
so perfect landings and help to prevent the helicopter from
tipping over. Even if you have experience flying a helicopter,
please consider using the supplied training gear for the first
few flights.
The Heli-Max AXE EZ is an extremely lightweight model
helicopter. Taking that into consideration you should only
fly the AXE EZ indoors or in calm winds.
Takeoff
Slowly add power and observe the model. If you feel it
needs trimming do so before lift off. You will quickly find that
model helicopters never allow you to return the sticks to
center. You just need to hold the sticks as needed to keep a
steady hover. So please don’t fight the trim too much as it is
a normal thing to experience.
You will notice the cyclic controls lag behind your inputs. This is
perfectly normal and something you get the feel for with time. It’s
normal to drift around a little in a hover until you get used to
flying the model. The cyclic controls on the AXE EZ are fairly
sensitive so only small movements are necessary.
