INTRODUCTION

KEY FEATURES

To say electric helis are everywhere these days is a bit of an understatement. Electric helicopter performance and
popularity is on a level now that is unprecedented in the history of RC. And with the demand for more power
and potential comes the demand for a heli platform that can handle it.

Enter the Vibe 500e. JR’s latest foray into electric helicopter design has the benet of drawing on years of glow
heli development, producing a platform built from the ground up to dominate. The design is all new, and was
conceived with one goal in mind—being the smoothest, most precise electric helicopter available. Features like
the belt-driven tail, aluminum head and tail assemblies plus more, make precision and smoothness a possible
reality. The result is a connection between you and your heli that feels like nothing you’ve ever own before.

PREASSEMBLY WARNING

RECOMMENDED RADIO SYSTEM

When rst opening your helicopter, you will notice that all of the parts are packaged and numbered to
coordinate with the assembly step numbers of this instruction manual. All small hardware (nuts, bolts, washers,
etc.) for each step is separated and packaged separately within the main parts bags. When beginning a section,
you will need to open only the bag with the corresponding number to the section you are going to start. It is
suggested that you place all of the hardware in an open container (e.g., coee can) during assembly so as not
to lose any of the small parts. It may also be helpful to familiarize yourself with the various sizes of screws, bolts,
nuts, etc., as illustrated in the appropriate assembly section before you begin assembly. At the end of each
assembly, in most cases, there should be no parts remaining.

NOTE: Your kit also includes JR® red and green threadlock. Unlike conventional U.S.-made
threadlock, JR red is the U.S. equivalent of blue. JR green is the equivalent of U.S. red.

Great care has been taken in lling the bags with the correct quantity of parts and hardware for each section.
However, occasionally mistakes do happen. In the event that you nd a parts shortage or are in need of
technical assistance, please contact your local JR Heli Division parts dealer or contact the Horizon Service Center
directly.

CCPM-Ready JR Radio Systems

Most current JR and Spektrum heli radio

systems (12X, XP9303, X9303 2.4, DX7se,

DX7 and DX6i) are equipped with 120° CCPM

electronics for use with JR CCPM machines.

Radios you may be ying now, like the X347,

X388S, XP783 and XP8103* have 120° CCPM

capability built in but require activation by

the Horizon Service Department. For details,

please call [phone].

*Please note that many XP8103 systems

have the CCPM function already activated.

Please check with the Horizon Service

Center for details.

proper direction prior to ight.

Note: After the direction of the Tail Drive Belt has been conrmed, set the belt

tension. The belt tension should be set by pulling out on the Tail Boom so that

the belt will remain in contact with the Guide Roller when pressed with a nger

between the Front Pulley and Guide Roller. When the belt tension is set properly,

tighten the bolts left loose previously in step 3-3.

Note: After installing the Main Shaft

through the bottom Main Shaft Bearing

Block, install the M2.6 x 15 socket head

bolts through the Front Pulley and

Main Shaft and then through the Auto

Rotation Assembly and Auto Rotation

Collar by aligning the holes in each

assembly with the corresponding holes

in the Main Shaft.

Note: Install the Main Shaft in the proper

direction as shown through the top bearing

block, then through the Main Shaft Collar,

RADIO SYSTEM PREPARATION

The following preparations are suggested for use with JR® radio systems. However, these procedures are
applicable to most other brand radio systems. These suggested adjustments are necessary to ensure correct
installation and attachment of the control linkages and servo horns.

TRANSMITTER PREPARATION

1. Set all trim levers, knobs, and switches to the neutral or zero positions.

2. Turn the transmitter power switch to the “On” position.

3. Reset all functions and input values of your computer radio system to the factory preset position.

4. Move the throttle/collective control stick to the center or half stick position. Next slide the throttle
trim lever to the full low position.

RECEIVER FLIGHT PACK PREPARATION

1. With the transmitter still on, slide the receiver switch to its “On” position. All servos should move to
the neutral or center position.

2. Check that all servos operate with the appropriate control stick.

3. Reset the throttle stick to the center position, making sure the throttle trim is still at low.

4. Turn o the receiver switch rst, followed by the transmitter. For proper operation, it’s important that
the servo horns are positioned on the servos in the “exact” neutral position. Although most computer
radio systems oer a sub-trim feature, it is suggested that the servo horns be manipulated on the
servos to achieve the “exact” neutral settings.

SERVO HORN INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS

Since the servo output spline on a JR system has an odd number of teeth (23), it’s possible to reposition the
servo arm on the servo at 90° intervals to achieve the proper neutral attachment of the servo horn.

Once the correct arm of the servo horn has been established, it’s suggested that the remaining unused arms be
removed from the servo horn as shown in the installation diagrams in the following section.

It will also be necessary to enlarge the appropriate hole in the servo horn slightly to allow correct installation of
the steel control balls to the servo horn.

28

UNDERSTANDING CCPM CONTROL SYSTEMS

120 3-SERVO CCPM SWASHPLATE MIXING

The JR® 120° CCPM or Cyclic Collective Pitch Mixing system oers the user a control system that can accomplish
the same control inputs as a one-servo standard system, but with increased precision and reduced complexity.

As with the one servo system, the JR CCPM system utilizes three servos for the three main controls:
aileron (roll), elevator (pitch), and collective. The CCPM lower swashplate ring is designed with only three control
balls, spaced at 120° from each other, hence the 120° CCPM designation. Although the control balls are not at
90° as in the standard system, the aileron (roll) axis is still parallel to the main mechanics of the helicopter, and
the elevator (pitch) axis still functions at 90° to the mechanics as does the one-servo system.

The main dierence in the way that these two systems operate is that unlike the one servo system where the
three servos work completely independently from each other, the CCPM systems work as a team to achieve
the same control inputs. For example, if an aileron (roll) input is given, two servos work together to move
the swashplate left and right. If an elevator (pitch) input is given, all three servos work together to move the
swashplate fore and aft. For collective, it’s also the strength of three servos that will move the swashplate up and
down the main rotor shaft. With two or three servos working at the same time during any given control input,
servo torque is maximized and servo centering is also increased. In addition to these benets, CCPM achieves
these control responses without the need for complex mechanical mixing systems that require many more
control rods and parts to set up.

This amazing CCPM control is achieved through special CCPM swashplate mixing that is preprogrammed into
many of today’s popular radio systems. Since the 120° CCPM function is preprogrammed, CCPM is no more
complicated to set up than a conventional one-servo standard system. When you factor in the reduced parts
count and easy programming, CCPM is actually easier to set up and operate than many conventional systems.

For JR radio owners, please refer to the radio information contained at the front of this manual or on the
following pages to determine if your radio system has the CCPM function. For other brands of radio systems,
please contact the radio manufacturer for CCPM information. Please note that it is not possible to program a
non-CCPM radio system for CCPM operation.

29

UNDERSTANDING CCPM CONTROL SYSTEMS

The JR 120° three servo CCPM relies on the radio’s special CCPM swashplate mixing, rather than a conventional
mechanical mixer that is utilized to achieve the same results.

The radio’s 120° 3-servo CCPM function automatically mixes the three servos to provide the correct mixing
inputs for aileron (roll), elevator (pitch), and collective. The following is an example of how each control input
aects the servo’s movement.

1. COLLECTIVE

When a collective pitch input is given, all three servos move together in the same direction, at equal amounts, to
raise and lower the swashplate while keeping the swashplate level. During this function, all three servos travel
at the same value (100%) so that the swashplate can remain level during the increase and decrease in pitch. As
mentioned, this mixing of the three servos is achieved through the radio’s CCPM program.

2. ELEVATOR (PITCH)

When an elevator input is given, all three servos must move to tilt the swashplate fore and aft, but their
directions vary. The servos move together in the same direction, while the rear swashplate servo moves in the
opposite direction. For example, when a down elevator (forward cyclic) command is given, the front swashplate
servos will move the swashplate down, while the rear swashplate servo moves so that the swashplate will
tilt forward. During this function with 120° CCPM, the rear swashplate servo travels at 100%, while the front
swashplate servos travel at 50% (1/2 the travel value). This dierence in travel is necessary due to the fact that
the position of the 120 CCPM rear control ball is two times the distance of the two front control ball positions as
measured from the center of the swashplate.

3. AILERON (ROLL)

When an aileron (roll) input is given, the front swashplate servos travel in opposite directions, while the rear
swashplate servo remains motionless, such as, when a right aileron command is given.

30

IMPORTANT CCPM PROGRAMMING DO’S AND DON’TS

A. TRAVEL ADJUST

It is extremely important that the travel adjustment values for the three CCPM servos (aileron, elevator and
Aux1) be initially set to exactly the same travel value. If the travel value is not similar for each servo, it will create
unwanted pitching and rolling of the swashplate during collective pitch inputs. The travel values for each servo
will be adjusted in the nal radio setup to remove any minor pitch and roll coupling during pitch, roll and
collective movements.

Minor travel value adjustments are necessary due to slight variations in servo travel and centering. Although the
three servos may appear to travel at the same amounts in each direction, in reality the servos can vary slightly.
This variation is more common in analog-type servos. If JR’s new digital servos are used, the travel adjustment
values will generally not need to be altered.

B. SERVO REVERSING

It is also extremely important that the servo reversing directions for the three CCPM servos (aileron, elevator,
Aux 1) be set as indicated in the upcoming radio programming steps. If one or more servos is not set to the
correct direction, the CCPM function will be out of synchronization, and the three control functions (Aileron,
Elevator, Collective) will not move properly. In the event that a control surface is working in the wrong direction,
the control function can only be reversed by changing the desired CCPM value for that function from a (+) to a
(-) value or vice versa.

Example: If when you increase the collective pitch, the pitch of the main blades actually
decreases, it will be necessary to access the CCPM function and change the travel value for this
function from (+) to (-), or (-) to (+). This will reverse the direction of the collective pitch function
without aecting the movement of the aileron and elevator functions.

C. CCPM SERVO CONNECTIONS

The JR® 120° CCPM system requires the use of three servos to operate Aileron, Elevator and Aux1(Pitch). The
labeling of these servos can become quite confusing because, with the CCPM function, the three servos no
longer work independently, but rather as a team, and their functions are now combined. For this reason, we will
refer to the three servos in the following manner:

Elevator Servo: This is the front CCPM servo. The channel number for this servo when using a JR radio is CH3.

Aileron Servo: This is the top left CCPM servo. The channel number for this servo when using a JR radio is CH2.

Aux 1 (Pitch) Servo: This is the right CCPM servo. The channel number for this servo when using a JR radio is CH6.

Please refer to the CCPM connections chart below for clarication. For non-JR radios, please consult your radio
instructions for proper connection.

BASIC ADJUSTMENT AFTER ASSEMBLY

JRPROPO

JRPROPO

Horizontal

The following information is very important and has a great e ect on  ight performance. Read it thoroughly to fully understand

the contents.

The Helicopter does not work properly without  rst performing basic settings in the Radio and of the helicopter mechanics.

Optimum settings of each helicopter can only be made following a test  ight. The following provides information only
for initial settings. Note that this is not  nal and the best setting for your Radio and helicopter can only be determined

following test  ights.

1. Initial Setting of Radio System

Using the Radio Set Up Sheets earlier in this manual and the instruction manual for the Radio used, make the initial

settings for the Radio.

2. Wiring to the Receiver

See the wiring diagram earlier in the manual and the instruction manual for the gyro, speed control, and motor used, to

connect each servo, speed control and gyro.

The three servos to be linked to the JR CCPM will now be called the “swash servo F (Front),” “swash servo R (Right)” and

“swash servo L (Left)” for convenience sake.

The tail rotor servo will be called the “rudder servo.” Check the connections of each servo for any error. If they are not

correctly connected, subsequent adjustments cannot be properly made. Basic connections are the same for both JR­made and Futaba-made servos, but channel arrangement on the receiver di ers between them.

3.ServoNeutralAdjustment–1

Turn on the Radio and the receiver (switch on the helicopter) to con rm that all the servos function properly ( rst

disconnect the wiring to the motor so that the main rotor will not run). Next, adjust the neutral position of the swash
servos F, R and L. (for the Radio’s aileron and elevator, set the trim to the neutral position. If the Radio has hovering pitch
and pitch trim adjusting functions, set them to the center also).

Enter the pitch curve function of the Radio and  nd out the neutral position of the pitch (throttle) stick by seeing an input

value in the middle of the travel (the spot indicating the input value “50” is the neutral position). The servo angle at this
time serves as a reference. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

Next, check in this state whether or not the F, R and L swash servos are at the reference positions shown in the  gure

below. For the rudder servo, check whether or not it is positioned as indicated in each assembly process.

If the servo horn is not appropriately angled, remove and re-attach it so that it will be aligned with the reference

positions.

4.ServoNeutralAdjustment–2

Use the sub-trim function to adjust any slight misalignment between the neutral position of the Radio and that of each

servo (this function provides adjustment for individual servos. For the swash servos F, R and L, this is not a steering
adjustment. Do not confuse it with each trim function for the aileron, elevator and pitch on the front of the Radio.)

position of the two blades is within 5mm.

Note: Screw in the Special Cap Bolts until they have fully engaged with the nylon area of
the Nylon Lock Nuts, and tighten them  rmly so that they will not be loosened when the
Motor starts running. The blade should be able to be rotated freely when pressed with a

 nger, but not loose enough to move freely when the heli is held on its side.

Static Balance

After adjusting the longitudinal

balance, adjust the balance of the

two rotors together (static balance).

Bolt the blades together and hang

from some light string. If one blade

drops and the other rises, wrap tape
around the center of gravity (position
of longitudinal balance) of the lighter

blade until the blades hang level.

JRPROPO

CCPM SERVO CENTERING WITH THE SUB-TRIM FUNCTION

It may be necessary to make minor servo centering adjustments with the use of the sub-trim function to achieve

the desired servo arm positions. Adjust the sub-trim percentages through the radio system as necessary to make

the servo wheels center properly. With proper servo arm positioning, little to no sub trim will be required.

After the control linkages have been attached to the swashplate, it will be necessary to check the swashplate to ensure that it is

level. To do this, turn on the radio system and place the collective stick in the center position as before. Next, check to make sure

that all trim levers and knobs are also in their center position. Check to ensure that the servo wheels are centered as shown. If the

servos are not centered as shown, please adjust the sub trim function in the radio system as necessary. Once it’s determined that the

servo wheels are centered properly, it will now be necessary to check the swashplate to ensure that it is also level or neutral in this
position. It is suggested that the swashplate rst be checked from the rear of the model to ensure that it’s level from left to right. If

the swashplate is not level as compared to the frame of the model, adjust either the left or right servo control rod as needed.

Once the left to right adjustment is completed, it will now be necessary to check the fore/aft position of the swashplate to ensure

that it is also level on this axis. If the swashplate is not level in the fore/aft axis, it is suggested that the adjustment be made to the

front servo control linkage as needed. If you are unsure as to which linkage needs adjustment or are having diculty obtaining

the correct adjustment, please check the length of each control rod to ensure that it is adjusted to the correct length. Only minor

adjustments should be made to the lengths of the control linkages at this time. Any major adjustments indicate either incorrect

linkage lengths or incorrect servo arm positioning. If the control linkage lengths are altered from the recommended lengths more

than one or two turns, this will have a great eect on the range and settings of the collective pitch in later steps. If required, use sub

trims of each servo to ne-tune 90-degree positions of the linkages. No more than 15 points should ever be required, since the servo

arm can be ipped and a dierent spline can be used.

53

PITCHTOAILERON MIXING ADJUSTMENT

PITCH-TO-AILERON MIXING ADJUSTMENT WITH TRAVEL ADJUST
It is very possible that the travel of each servo varies slightly, which can cause the
swashplate to be tilted to the left or right when the collective is moved to the extreme high
and low pitch positions. This condition is generally more common when standard-type
servos are used. If JR® digital servos are used, the adjustment required is generally very
small, if any. These variations in travel can be corrected by altering the travel value of each
servo slightly through the travel adjustment function. To check the pitch-to-aileron mixing,
it will rst be necessary to position the collective stick in the center position and make sure
the swashplate is level.
Next, move the collective stick from the center position to the high pitch position while
viewing the swashplate from the rear of the model as shown in the diagram below. While
moving the swashplate, look for any tendency for the swashplate to roll to the left or right
as it reaches the high pitch position. Repeat this procedure several times to be sure that
your observations are correct. If no rolling tendency is found, it will now be necessary to
repeat this procedure from the center collective stick position to full low pitch. If no rolling
tendency is found, proceed to the next step.
In our example, we have shown that the swashplate has been tilted to the right as the
collective has been increased to full pitch. This would indicate that the right servo’s
maximum travel is less than the left servo’s maximum travel.
In this condition, we suggest that the travel value for the right servo be increased slightly

(5–10%).Repeattheprocedureaboveifthesameconditionoccurs,buttoalesserdegree.

The travel value of the right servo should be increased slightly and retested. In most cases,
it will require only the adjustment of the left or right servo to correct this situation. Once
this condition has been corrected, repeat this procedure for the center-to-low collective
pitch position and adjust as needed.

54

PITCHTOELEVATOR MIXING

JRPROPO

PITCH-TO-ELEVATOR MIXING ADJUSTMENT WITH TRAVEL ADJUST
The total travel of each servo can vary slightly, which can also cause the swashplate to be tilted fore and aft when the collective is
moved to the extreme high and low pitch positions. This situation can also be corrected if necessary through the use of the travel
adjustment function. To check pitch-to-elevator mixing, it will rst be necessary to position the collective stick in the center position
as in the previous step. Next, move the collective stick from the center to the high pitch position while viewing the swashplate from
the left side of the model. While moving the swashplate, look for any tendencies for the swashplate to tilt fore or aft as it reaches
the high pitch positions. Repeat this procedure several times to be sure that your observations are correct. If no tilting tendency is
found, proceed to the next step. In our example, we have shown that the swashplate has tilted forward as the collective has been
increased to full high pitch. This would indicate that the front servo’s maximum travel is less than that of the two left/right servos. In

thiscondition,wesuggestthatthetravelvalueforthefrontservobeincreasedslightly(5–10%).Repeattheaboveprocedureand

decrease the value as needed until the tilting tendency is eliminated. For information on the travel adjustment function, please refer
to your radio’s instruction manual for details. Once this condition has been corrected, repeat this procedure for the center-to-low
collective pitch position and adjust as needed. Note: It is very important that during this step, only the travel value for the front servo
(elevator) be adjusted to correct any pitch-to-elevator tendencies. If the travel value of the left or right servo changes, this will the
pitch-to-aileron tendencies corrected in the previous step. If you feel that readjustment of the left and right servo travel is necessary,
then it is suggested that the travel for each servo be increased or decreased at the same amount and the pitch-to-aileron procedure
be retested.

55

TAIL SERVO ADJUSTMENT

TAIL ROTOR SERVO SETTINGS
Note: Please refer to the instructions for your gyro in addition to these notes. Please have your gyro connected to the receiver
and the tail rotor servo plugged into the gyro while performing these checks.
Servo Horn: The servo horn needs to be attached so that there is an angle of 90° between the linkage rod and the servo horn’s
arm with the servo at neutral as shown in the gure below. It is best to install the arm on the servo with the gyro in rate or
normal gain mode so that the servo is centered properly. After the servo arm is installed and the tail control rod set, the gyro can
then be set to tail lock mode as desired. The tail rotor linkage rod should now be adjusted in length so the tail rotor pitch slider is
in the middle of its travel.
Reverse Switch (servo direction): The direction of the tail rotor servo movement is set in the Radio using the servo reversing
function. To check if the servo moves in the correct direction move the rudder (tail rotor control) stick on the Radio to the left.
The servo arm should move toward the rear of the helicopter. Moving the Radio stick to the right should move the servo arm
toward the front of the helicopter. The gyro’s direction of response to rotation of the helicopter is discussed and set on page 50
of these instructions.
Travel Adjust (right and left angle adjustment): The Radio travel adjust setting for the tail rotor (rudder) channel will generally
control yaw rate. The physical servo limits for left and right are set on the gyro. Please refer to your gyros instructions.
Sub-trim (Radio’s internal rudder trim): Generally this should remain at zero but may require adjustment depending on your
make and model of gyro. Please refer to your gyro’s instructions for further information about its setup.

56

Now that the radio system is completely installed into the helicopter, it’s necessary to check and adjust the
following:

1. Servo Direction (Servo Reversing)

Check to ensure that all servos have been set to the correct direction.

2. Sub-Trim Settings

It’s suggested that the correct neutral settings be achieved without the use of the Sub-Trim function, as this
will aect the neutral position of the servos. Adjust the cyclic trim using the control rods until a neutral hover is
achieved.

3. Pitch/Throttle Curve Adjustment

It is very important that the throttle and pitch curves are adjusted properly to achieve the best performance
from your helicopter. When properly adjusted, the main rotor head rpm should remain consistent throughout all
maneuvers and throttle stick positions. A constant rpm will also help to improve the eectiveness and accuracy
of the tail rotor and gyro systems.

A) Pitch Curve

It will now be necessary to establish the maximum pitch value required for your application prior to adjustment.
For example, if you are a 3D pilot, then your maximum negative pitch will be -12, and your maximum positive
pitch will be +12.

The maximum pitch range that you will require will be 24° total. The maximum pitch range
mentioned above must be established through the use of the pitch travel value in the CCPM function.
As mentioned previously, do not try to establish the maximum pitch curve values through adjustment
of the travel adjustment function, as this will alter the pitch-to-aileron and pitch-to-elevator travel
values established earlier.

Please refer to the CCPM activation section for information on how to access the CCPM function. Once the CCPM
function has been activated, set the maximum positive pitch settings as mentioned above. Since the CCPM
function does not allow for independent travel settings for positive and negative pitch, it will be necessary to
establish the maximum positive pitch, since this is generally the largest degree of pitch in the pitch range. Once
the maximum positive pitch range is set, the maximum pitch range positive and negative can be reduced as
needed through the pitch curve function. Set the main rotor pitch gauge to the desired maximum pitch setting,
then increase or decrease the CCPM pitch travel (labeled Pitch or Ch 6) as needed until this pitch setting is
achieved.

Once this procedure has been completed, the positive and negative pitch settings for each ight mode
can be adjusted through the radio’s pitch curve function. Please refer to your radio’s instruction manual
for more information.

FINAL SERVO ADJUSTMENT AND RADIO SETUP

57

Note: Flight modes #1 and #2 are
duplicated for safety.

Throttle Curve Settings

Below are examples of possible throttle curves during
various ight conditions.

It will be necessary to ne-tune and adjust these
values during test ights to achieve a constant main
rotor rpm.

Gyro Gain Adjustment (All Gyros)

Please refer to your Gyro’s instruction manual for
proper gain settings.

Gyro Direction

It will also be necessary to conrm the direction the
gyro compensates when the body of the helicopter
is rotated. To do this, turn the radio system on and
suspend the helicopter by the main rotor head. Next,
move the rudder stick to the right and watch the
direction that the tail rotor servo arm travels. Now
while watching the tail rotor servo arm, rotate the
body of the helicopter counterclockwise. The servo
arm should move in the same direction as when the
rudder stick was moved to the right. If the arm moves
in the opposite direction, reverse the gyro and re-test.
Generally with the G770 3D Gyro, the gyro reversing
switch will be left set to NORM on the gyro.

BLADE TRACKING ADJUSTMENT

Fig.A

Orange Red

Orange Orange

Fig.B

Requiresadjustment Requiresnoadjustment

Blade tracking is an adjustment to the main rotor blade pitch that must be accomplished during the initial test
ights.

Although the blade pitch angle in each blade may appear equal, it is still possible for a set of main rotor blades
to run “out of track,” making adjustment necessary.

Main rotor blades that are out of track with one another can cause vibration, instability and a loss of power due
to additional drag.

On the initial ight, it will be necessary to increase the blade speed to just before lift-o rpm and view the rotor
disc at eye level from a safe distance (approximately 15 to 20 feet (4.7 to 6 meters)).

Note which blade is running low (by colored tracking tape) and increase the pitch of the low blade one turn of
the ball link at a time until each blade runs in track (on the same plane).

Please refer to the diagrams on the following page to identify the dierent tracking situations, as well as
methods to mark each rotor blade for tracking identication.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Check All Nuts and Bolts

A helicopter is subject to high vibration during ight.
It is important to check that all screws, nuts and bolts
are properly secured after each day of ying. It is
also suggested that you perform a “quick” inspection
between each initial test ight for approximately the
rst 6 to 10 ights.

Main Rotor Head

Periodically check the main rotor head dampeners to
maintain maximum rotor head performance.

When reassembling the main rotor head, apply a light
coating of oil to the dampeners to prolong life.

It is also suggested at this time that the rotor head
thrust bearings be lubricated using a high-speed
grease. This will prolong the visibility of the thrust
bearings.

Washout Base

Lubricate the washout base using light oil every 10

–15ightstoensuresmoothoperationandreduce
wear.Inspectthewashoutbaseevery50–75ights.If

excessive wear is noted, replace as needed.

Tail Pitch Slider

Lubricatethetailpitchsliderusinglightoilevery5–10

ights to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear.

Check Ball Link Wear

Check to ensure that all universal links t freely but
securely to the control balls. If there is excessive play
noted, adjust and/or replace the universal link in
question.

Cleaning

At the end of each ight or ying session, wipe down
your helicopter with a clean towel or rag. This is also a
good time to inspect all parts for tightness or fatigue.
Remember, a clean, well-maintained helicopter will
provide you with many hours of trouble-free ight.

Ball Links

Checkballlinksevery15–20ightsforincreasedplay

and looseness. Adjust the ball links using pliers to
tighten the ball race if needed.
