Heli-Max HMXE0802 - Manual (Page 23)

The Heli-Max ™ Novus CX and FP are very small helicopters. Working on these
small models will require very small tools. The DTXR0170 Duratrax Precision
Phillips Screwdriver 00x75mm is recommended for both the Novus CX and FP.
NOVUS CX – MAIN ROTOR BLADE REPLACEMENT
Remove the blade bolt using
a #00 phillips screwdriver.
After the blade bolt has been
removed, slide the rotor blade
out of the blade grip. Reinstall
the new blade, ensuring that
the hole within the blade and
blade grip are aligned properly.
Reinstall the blade bolt.
NOVUS CX – MAIN ROTOR GRIP REPLACEMENT
Remove both blade bolts and
main rotor blades. If working
on the upper rotor, remove the
flybar and linkage. The only
way to remove the blade grip
is to cut the grip on both sides
as shown. Remove the two
halves. Remove the two metal
pivot pins from the head block.
Slide the two metal pivot pins
from the center of each grip
into the blade grip. Press these
pins in until they are flush. Align
the new blade grip on the head
block and from the outside of the grip, push the pins into the head block. Install the
flybar and main rotor blades.
Hint: If you need to change the lower rotor grips it is easiest to remove the entire
upper rotor head by loosening the main gear retention screw. Then, pull the upper
head and shaft from the helicopter. This will allow access to the lower rotor grips.
