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 servos, tail motor and main drive motor from the E-Board.
❏
Remove the E-Board and main drive motor from the mechanics. Install the
brushless main drive motor with the wire harness facing as shown above.
Ensure that the gear mesh is set correctly. Once the gear mesh has been set
correctly there should be a minimal 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. Once the
motor screws have been tightened, remove the paper and turn the gear to verify
that it rotates freely.

Place a piece of double-sided tape on the bottom of the new E-Board.
❏
Position the E-Board onto the mounting tray as shown. Connect the servos
to the receiver and connect the tail motor harness to the “Tail Motor” plug on
the E-Board.
❏ Place a piece of double sided tape on the back side of the ESC (Electronic
Speed Control). Mount the ESC onto the E-Board as shown in the picture.
Route the ESC lead to the receiver 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 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
HAPPY FLYING!
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 FP.
HAPPY FLYING!
