INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Heli-Max AXE™CP V3 RTF
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:
For the latest technical updates or manual corrections
to the AXE CP V3 RTF visit the Heli-Max web site at
www.helimax-rc.com. Open the “Helicopters” link, and
then select the AXE CP V3 RTF. 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.
CAUTION: Be aware that the AXE CP V3 RTF operates
on the same frequency band as larger R/C models. If flying
your AXE CP V3 RTF 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.
AMA
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 aircraft hobby are to avoid
flying near full-scale aircraft and avoid flying near or over
groups of people.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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
CP V3 RTF, 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.
1. Your AXE CP V3 RTF should not be considered a toy, but
rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very
much like a full-size helicopter. Because of its performance
capabilities, the AXE CP V3 RTF, if not assembled and
operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or
spectators and damage to property.
