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 ﬂ ying site for your Novus UH-1D Huey CX, stay clear of buildings, trees and power lines. AVOID ﬂ ying in or near crowded areas. DO NOT ﬂ y close to people, children or pets. Maintain a safe pilot-to-helicopter distance while ﬂ ying.

Your Novus UH-1D Huey CX 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 Novus UH-1D Huey CX, if not operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property.

Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in an unsafe or unﬂ yable model. In a few cases the instructions may differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the written instructions should be considered as correct.

You must check the operation of the model before every ﬂ ight to insure that all

equipment is operating and that the model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check linkages or other connectors often and replace them if they show any signs of wear or fatigue.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED

❏ (8) AA Alkaline cells (FUGP7308)

LITHIUM BATTERY HANDLING & USAGE

WARNING! Read the entire instruction sheet included with this

battery. Failure to follow all instructions could cause permanent damage to the battery and its surroundings, and may cause bodily harm!

● Land your model immediately when the battery begins to lose power. Recharge the battery before attempting another ﬂ ight.

A dangerous situation can occur when attempting to recharge an over-discharged battery!

● ALWAYS charge the battery inside a ﬁ reproof container placed in a

ﬁ reproof location clear of combustible materials. Failure to do so

can result in property damage and/or bodily harm!

● ALWAYS keep charging batteries within eyesight. Leaving the battery unattended is dangerous!

● ALWAYS keep a supply of sand accessible when charging.

Dumping sand on the battery will extinguish the LiPo chemical ﬁ re.

● NEVER use anything EXCEPT a LiPo approved charger.

● NEVER charge over 4.20V per cell.

● NEVER charge at currents greater than 1C.

● NEVER charge through the “To ESC” or “DISCHARGE” lead.

● NEVER trickle charge, or allow the battery to discharge below

2.75V per cell.

● NEVER allow the battery temperature to exceed 140° F [60° C].

● NEVER disassemble or modify the pack wiring in any way or

puncture cells.

● ALWAYS KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

ELECTRIC MOTOR WARNING

Electric motors are very dangerous. Do not work on the model while the ﬂ ight battery is plugged in as interference may cause the main rotor blades to spin, possibly causing injury to yourself.

TURNING THE MODEL ON

❏ Place the helicopter on its side and open the battery compartment door.

Connect the ﬂ ight battery and place the battery in the compartment as shown.

❏ Carefully place the extra wiring into the battery compartment and close the

battery door. Place the helicopter onto a ﬂ at surface and proceed to the next step.

❏ Your Novus helicopter uses a 2.4GHz system that requires linking the

transmitter to the receiver when the unit is powered up. With the transmitter turned off, connect the ﬂ ight battery to the helicopter. Then place the model on a ﬂ at surface and turn the transmitter on. You will notice that the trim tab indicators are moving and the navigation lights on the helicopter remain solid.

This is an indication of the linking process. Allow the helicopter to remain still

and do not move the transmitter sticks during the linking process.

❏ Two loud tones will be emitted from the transmitter. Continue to allow the

helicopter to remain still. After a couple of seconds the navigation lights will begin ﬂ ashing rapidly. This indicates that the binding process is taking place.

The tail navigation light will stop ﬂ ashing and the anti-collision beacon on top

of the helicopter will begin operating. This indicates that the transmitter and helicopter have bound properly and the helicopter is now ready for ﬂ ight. Always step 15 feet [4.5m] away from the Novus Helicopter before operating the throttle.

Your Novus helicopter has a safe start feature built in that prevents the motor from activating unless the collective stick has been lowered to the lowest position. If the motor won’t run and turn the main blades, please make sure the collective stick is all the way down and leave it there for a couple of seconds. Then try moving the stick up slowly.

TRANSMITTER CONTROLS

All controls are described with the tail pointing directly toward you. This is the best way to ﬂ y in the beginning since it keeps the control inputs oriented the same direction. Once you start getting comfortable you can work on side hovering and nose-in.

The dual rate switch provides dual control rates for the cyclic and tail rotor controls.

Please use the low rate until you become accustomed to your Novus.

FLYING

The Heli-Max Novus UH-1D Huey CX is a lightweight helicopter. Taking that into

consideration, you should only ﬂ y indoors or in calm winds less than 1mph. The Novus should be ﬂ own in a large area of at least 50 feet [15.25m] square with no obstacles.

The Novus UH-1D Huey CX is lightweight and due to this it does not ﬂ y well in

ground effect (air disturbance when the model helicopter is hovered below 1 foot [30cm]). The model should be ﬂ own at a minimum altitude of 1 foot [30cm] to avoid the instabilities cause by ground effect.

Crashing

If you have operated radio control models in the past then you probably already realize that it is not a matter of “if” you are going to crash, it is a matter of “when” you are going to crash. Once you realize the model is going to collide with something or crash into the ground, you should always bring the throttle stick all the way down to stop the main rotor blades from rotating. If you can remember to do this, chances are you will not damage the helicopter in the crash. The main rotor blades carry a lot of RPM and inertia during ﬂ ight. Cutting the power to the main rotor blades will prevent most of the crash damage.

Takeoff

Slowly add power, observe the model and make all of the necessary corrections to keep the model level. If you feel a trim adjustment is needed, lower the throttle to idle and make trim adjustments before lifting off for the ﬁ rst time. You will ﬁ nd that model helicopters never allow you to return the sticks to center. You just need to position the stick as needed to maintain a steady hover.

You will notice the cyclic controls lag behind your inputs. This is normal and

something you get the feel for with time. It’s normal to drift around in a hover until you become accustomed to ﬂ ying the model. The cyclic controls are fairly sensitive so only small movements are necessary.

Hovering

Once the helicopter is up in the air, simply try to hold the helicopter in one spot. If this is your ﬁ rst model helicopter, it will require some practice. Wind or air currents have a big effect on the stability of the helicopter as well. Be patient and slowly work forward, as trying to rush the learning process can be costly.

Landing

Level the helicopter into a steady hover and slowly decrease power until the helicopter settles onto the ground.

Basic Maneuvers

Once you become comfortable with hovering at different orientations and landing, it’s time to move on to more advanced maneuvers.

Slow Pirouettes – Add a small amount of tail rotor (left or right) and try rotating the helicopter slightly sideways and see if you can hold it there. If you feel uncomfortable, then bring the tail back toward you. Once you start getting comfortable, try moving the helicopter to the side. Then turn back and ﬂ y back to the other side in straight lines. Then work into rotating the helicopter around 360°, which is called a pirouette. The helicopter can drift during these so make sure you have plenty of room when you ﬁ rst start practicing.

Nose-in Hovering – After pirouettes it’s time to move on to nose-in hovering.

Take off and climb to 10 feet [3m]. Practice half pirouettes from tail in to nose-

in hovering and try to lengthen the delay in between. This will give you a little practice nose-in and still give you a chance to get out of trouble. As your skills improve you’ll remain nose-in for longer periods of time.

GOOD LUCK AND GREAT FLYING!

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

The Heli-Max™ Novus UH-1D Huey CX is an extremely small helicopter.

Working on a model this size will require small tools. The DTXR0170 DuraTrax® Precision Phillips Screwdriver 00x75mm is recommended. On occasion it will be necessary to replace damaged parts after a crash. Please use this section as a guide to performing these steps.

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 holes within the blade and blade grip are aligned properly. Reinstall the blade bolt.

Main Rotor Grip Replacement

Remove both blade bolts and main rotor blades. If working on the upper rotor, remove the ﬂ ybar 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 ﬂ ush. 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 ﬂ ybar and main rotor blades.

Replacing the Flybar

Remove the ﬂ ybar linkage from the blade grip. Press outward on one side of the head block and simply rotate the ﬂ ybar carrier from the head block. Once the ﬂ ybar carrier has been removed, press the ﬂ ybar weights inward and turn them 90°. Now pull them off the end of the ﬂ ybar. Remove the ﬂ ybar linkage from the old ﬂ ybar and install the linkage onto the new ﬂ ybar. Install the ﬂ ybar weights onto the new ﬂ ybar and slide the ﬂ ybar pivot back onto the head block. Reinstall the ﬂ ybar linkage.

Replacing the Landing Gear

Remove the four landing gear screws and carefully remove the landing gear. Route the battery lead through the new landing gear and place the landing gear back onto the helicopter. Install the four landing gear screws.

Replacing the Main Gear

The Novus Huey uses an inner solid main shaft and a hollow outer main shaft. To access the main rotor gears it will be necessary to remove the landing gear

ﬁ rst. Remove the lower main gear retaining screw. The lower gear will simply drop down off the main shaft. If you need to replace the upper main gear, slide it down off the main shaft and reinstall the new gear, ensuring that the ﬂ at spot molded inside the gear aligns with the main shaft. Reinstall the lower gear, ensuring that the screw aligns with the ﬂ at spot machined on the inner main shaft.

Replacing the Main Shaft

The Novus CX uses an inner solid main shaft and a hollow outer main shaft.

Remove the lower main gear retaining screw. When performing the following step please be careful not to lose any small bearings or bearing blocks. Slide the inner shaft and upper rotor head from the outer main shaft by pulling upwards. If you need to remove the lower shaft, disconnect the servo linkages from the swashplate and pull upwards. Transfer necessary parts from the old shaft to the new shaft and install following the reverse order listed above.

Tail Rotor Blade Replacement

Carefully pull the tail rotor from the tail motor using your ﬁ ngers. Press the new tail rotor onto the shaft. Verify that the tail motor spins easily.

TRANSMITTER SETTINGS

Transmitter Speciﬁ cations:

● 2.4GHz FHSS ● 4 Channel Encoder
