● 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 Novus CP Helicopter, 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 Novus CP Helicopter 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 CP Helicopter, if not
assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or
spectators and damage to property.
2. You must assemble the model according to the instructions. Do not alter or
modify the model, as doing so may result in an unsafe or unflyable model. In a

● ALWAYS keep a supply of sand accessible when charging. Dumping
sand on the battery will extinguish the LiPo chemical fire.
● 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 flight
battery is plugged in as interference may cause the main rotor blades to spin,
possibly causing injury to yourself.
WARNING!! Once the flight battery is connected the helicopter will have full
power available. You must take proper measures to ensure that the throttle
stick is not moved and that the idle up switch is not turned on while handling
the model.
11
Installing the Flight Battery
❏ Slide the flight battery into the Novus CP Helicopter as shown.
PREFLIGHT
Turning the Model On
❏ The Novus CP Helicopter uses a 2.4GHz system that requires a binding
process when the unit is powered up. This process involves connecting the
flight battery to the ESC with the transmitter turned off. Ensure that the throttle
stick is at its lowest position, and the idle up switch is off. Then turn the
transmitter on. You will notice that the transmitter indicator begins to flash,
indicating that the binding process is taking place.
Once the indicator quits flashing you should see the servos move, signifying
that the receiver is now bound to the transmitter. The helicopter must be left
still for 5 seconds so the gyro can perform the initialization process. The Novus
12
CP Helicopter is now ready for flight. Always step 15 feet [4.5m] away from the
Novus CP Helicopter before operating the throttle. Do not hold the model while
operating the throttle.
A safe start is built into the Novus CP Helicopter 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 with the trim in its lowest position and
leave it there for a couple of seconds. Then try moving the stick up slowly.
Balance the Main Blades
The Novus CP Helicopter main rotor blades are already balanced and ready
to fly.
CONTROLS

FLYING
The Heli-Max Novus CP is an extremely lightweight helicopter. Taking that
into consideration, you should only fly the helicopter indoors or in calm winds
less than 1mph. Until you become accustomed to the Novus CP helicopter we
highly recommend flying it in a large area of at least 35 feet [10.5m] square
with no obstacles. The Novus CP will not fly well in ground effect (air disturbance
when the model is hovered below 1 foot [30cm]). Please maintain a minimum
altitude of 1foot [30cm] to avoid ground effect.
Crashing
We already know that crashing is going to occur. Once you realize the model
is going to collide with something or crash into the ground, you should always
turn the idle up switch off and 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 flight. Cutting the power to the main rotor blades
will prevent most of the crash damage.
Takeoff
Slowly add power and observe the model. If you feel it needs trimming, do so
before lift off. You will find 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 perfectly normal
and something you get the feel for with time. It’s normal to drift around a little
in a hover until you get used to flying 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 it in one spot. This can
take 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.
17
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 fly back
to the other side in straight lines. Once you get that down you can try rotating
the helicopter around 360 degrees, which is called a pirouette. The helicopter
can drift during these so make sure you have plenty of room when you first
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 nosein 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 you improve
you’ll remain nose-in for longer periods of time.
GOOD LUCK AND GREAT FLYING!

MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Working on the Heli-Max™ Novus CP will require small tools. The DTXR0170
DuraTrax® Precision Phillips Screwdriver 00x75mm is recommended for the
Novus CP.
Although the Novus CP is a sturdy helicopter, on occasion it will be necessary
to replace damaged parts after a crash. Please use this section as a guide to
performing these steps.
NOVUS CP – 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.
NOVUS CP – MAIN ROTOR GRIP REPLACEMENT
Remove both blade bolts
and main rotor blades.
Remove the linkages from
both blade grip mixers.
Remove the two spindle
screws and the blade grips
can be easily removed.
Reinstall the parts in the
reverse order listed above.
19
NOVUS CP – REPLACING THE FLYBAR
Loosen the screws on
both flybar paddle collars.
Rotate the paddles counter
clockwise to remove the
paddle and the collar from
the flybar. Loosen the
screws on the flybar carrier
(both sides). At this point
the flybar can be slid out of
the flybar carrier. Slide the
new flybar into the flybar
carrier and ensure that
the new flybar is centered. Tighten the flybar carrier screws and reinstall the
paddles. Ensure that the paddles are equal distances out on the flybar and
tighten the flybar paddle collar screws.
NOVUS CP – REPLACING THE MAIN GEAR
Remove the lower retaining
pin from the main gear
using needle nose pliers.
Remove the old main gear
from the model and install
the new main gear. Align
the hole in the main shaft
with the hole in the main
gear and press the small
pin back through the hole.
NOVUS CP – REPLACING THE MAINSHAFT
Remove
the
lower
retaining pin from the main
gear using needle nose
pliers. Disconnect
the
servo linkages from the
swashplate. Slide the main
shaft straight up and out of
the main frame. Remove
and transfer necessary
parts to the new main shaft
and reinstall by reversing
the order listed above.
20
NOVUS CP – REPLACING THE TAIL SHAFT AND TAIL ROTOR
Use a flat blade screw driver to carefully pry the tail rotor retainer from the
tail rotor shaft. Slide the tail
rotor off of the shaft. Slide
the tail rotor shaft out the
opposite side of the tail
rotor case. Slide the new
tail rotor shaft into the tail
rotor housing. Please note
that the tail rotor shaft has
a flat spot. Carefully align
the tail rotor blade to this
flat spot and slide the tail
rotor onto the shaft. Install
the tail rotor retainer.
NOVUS CP – REPLACE THE TAILBOOM
Loosen the tail boom screw
and unplug the tail motor
wire from the E-Board. It
will be necessary to cut
the motor wires near the
tail motor where the heat
shrink tubing has been
applied. While holding onto
the tail motor connector at
the front, slowly slide the
tail boom out of the frame
and off the tail motor wires.
If you notice any damage
to the tail motor wires it will
be necessary to replace the tail motor wire harness. Slide the tail motor wires
into the tail boom and reinstall the tail boom onto the helicopter. On the old tail
boom, remove the lower tail motor retention screw and remove the tail motor
gear box assembly. Run the tail motor wires through the tail motor gear box
assembly. Ensure that the tail boom is pressed far enough into the main frame
and tighten the tail boom screw on the main frame. Ensure that the tail gear
box assembly is pressed far enough onto the tail boom and ensure that the
tail rotor is vertically aligned with the main shaft. Tighten the lower tail gear
box retention screw once you are certain that everything is correct. Re-solder
the tail motor wires to the tail rotor wire harness and install heat shrink tubing.
Ensure everything is correctly installed and all bolts have been tightened.
21
NOVUS CP – REPLACING A MOTOR
Unplug the motor from
the E-Board and remove
the
motor
mounting
screws. Remove the old
motor and install the new
motor. Reinstall the motor
mounting screws and plug
the motor connector back
into the E-Board.

Throttle Position and Servo Exponential Adjustment
Remove the switch cover from the back of the transmitter. With the transmitter
turned off and the flight battery disconnected from the helicopter, set both
the V1 and V2 dials to 0. Set the Flight Mode Switch to NORM. Set switch
10 to On and turn the transmitter on to enable Throttle Curve and Servo
Exponential Adjustment.
The V1 dial is used to set the throttle % at mid stick for either normal flight
mode or idle up flight mode. Set the flight mode switch to the flight mode you
would like to adjust. Turn the dial towards “-100” to reduce the throttle position
at mid stick. Turn the dial towards “+100” to increase the throttle at mid stick.
The recommended throttle position for normal flight mode is +15 and the
recommended throttle position for idle up flight mode is +30.
The servo exponential is set by using the V2 dial. Set the dial to 0 for linear
travel, use +1 to +100 to decrease the sensitivity of the cyclic controls and -1
to -100 to increase the sensitivity of the cyclic controls. The factory setting is 0
which provides a linear feel. If you feel the controls are overly sensitive then we
would recommend trying +40.
When you are done making adjustments, set switch 10 to Off.
Pitch Curve Adjustment
Remove the switch cover from the back of the transmitter. With the transmitter
turned off and the flight battery disconnected from the helicopter, set both the
V1 and V2 dials to 0. Set the Flight Mode Switch to NORM. Set switch 11 to On
and turn the transmitter on to enable Pitch Curve Adjustment.
The V1 dial is used to adjust NORM flight mode hovering pitch. Turn V1 towards
+100 to add more pitch at mid stick. Turn V1 towards -100 to decrease pitch at
mid stick. Adding more pitch will decrease the hovering head speed. Less pitch
will increase the hovering head speed. The V2 dial is used to adjust the maximum
pitch range. If you feel the model needs less pitch at full positive or negative
collective then turn the dial towards -100. If you feel the model needs more
pitch at full positive or negative collective then turn the dial towards +100. Too
much pitch may overpower the tail rotor’s ability to maintain heading. It is best
to make small adjustments and perform a test flights between adjustments.
When you are done making adjustments, set switch 11 to Off.
23
Gyro gain and Revolution Mixing Adjustment
Remove the switch cover from the back of the transmitter. With the transmitter
turned off and the flight battery disconnected from the helicopter, set both the
V1 and V2 dials to 0. Set switch 12 to On and turn the transmitter on to enable
Gyro gain and Revolution Mixing Adjustment.
The V1 dial is used to set the gyro gain. Simply set the gain by turning the dial
towards “+100”. The recommended starting gain is +80. If you notice that the
tail is slow drifting then a higher gain value should be used. If you notice that the
tail rotor quickly oscillates back and forth then lowering the gain value should
help.
The revolution mixing is set by using the V2 dial. Set the dial to 0, use +1 to
+100 to set the amount of revolution mixing. The factory setting is +30. If you
notice the nose of the helicopter is rotating to the left during a climb out then
simply increase the revolution mixing. If you notice the nose of the helicopter
rotating to the right during a climb out then the revolution mixing is too high and
simply decrease the value.
When you are done making adjustments, set switch 12 to Off.
E-Board Adjustments
The
Revolution
Mix
adjustment controls how
much tail rotor is mixed
when throttle is increased
or decreased. If you find
the model rotates to the
left when climbing please
increase the adjustment
by turning the dial towards
the “+”. If the model
rotates to the right when
climbing then decrease

The Servo Extent adjustment is used to increase the cyclic control throws. If you
feel the cyclic controls are not adequate then please turn the extent adjuster

determine the best setting for you.
