INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Novus Brushless Conversion. The brushless motor will provide greater power and longer fl ight times in comparison to the stock
brushed motor.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
Disconnect the main drive motor from the E-Board and remove the motor
❏
from the helicopter. Install the brushless main drive motor with the wire harness
facing forward as shown. Ensure that the gear mesh is set correctly. Once the
gear mesh has been set correctly there should be a minimum amount of play
between the gears. If you are not comfortable setting the gear mesh by “feel”
then place a thin piece of notebook paper between the pinion and spur gear
to set the mesh. Press the motor towards the main gear and tighten the motor
mounting screws. Remove the paper and turn the gear to verify that it rotates
freely. Repeat this process until you are satisfi ed with the gear mesh.
Place a piece of double-sided tape on the back side of the ESC (Electron-
❏
ic Speed Control). Mount the ESC onto the E-Board as shown in the picture.
Route the ESC lead to the E-Board and plug it into the port labeled ESC on the
E-Board. It is best to route the wires as shown above and place the old E-Board
power connector on top of the E-Board to avoid accidental use. Route the ESC
power lead out the bottom of the helicopter as shown (the power connector on
the E-Board is no longer used).
MOTOR DIRECTION CHECK
MOTOR DIRECTION CHECK
Ensure that all of the wires are clear of rotating components and make sure
❏
that none of the wires can become entangled in the rotating components. Connect the fl ight battery to the ESC and turn the transmitter on with the throttle in
the lowest position. Once the transmitter and receiver have been linked, place
the helicopter on the ground at least 15ft away. Slowly add throttle and verify
that the main rotor blades are rotating in the correct direction. If the main rotor
blades are rotating backwards, then disconnect motor harness from the ESC
and simply rotate the harness 180° and reconnect. This will reverse the rotation
of the main drive motor.
Place the canopy back onto the model and the brushless upgrade is now
❏
complete. No additional settings or changes are needed before fl ight. Enjoy fl ying your brushless Heli-Max™ Novus CP.
HAPPY FLYING!
