The Heli-Max Axe CPv3 isn't the only electric RTF helicopter with collective pitch. But you're looking for the model with the best design, engineering, performance and overall value — and that's where the Axe CPv3 stands alone.

What important advantages does the Axe CPv3 have over its competition? Some of them are shown and described here. Take a moment to see how Heli-Max delivers more for your money. Then, make the smart choice: the Axe CPv3.

The frame of every helicopter is its backbone. The Axe CPv3 provides a true frame for a design that's more rigid and durable. The landing gear on the Axe CPv3 is also more durable, for those less-than-perfect landings.
Screws secure the Axe CPv3 servos to the frame — the only method found on larger, high- performance helicopters. This method is more precise, reliable, and maintenance-free than using the servo tape and wire tie attachment method.
While the competitor's model has a 3mm steel main shaft, the Axe CPv3 uses larger diameter 6mm aluminum — making the shaft less likely to bend under load or in a crash. You can also see that the Axe CPv3 uses a finer gear pitch, resulting in quieter operation.
You'll enjoy faster response and more precise flying characteristics from the Axe CPv3's direct-drive tail rotor. It's easier to maintain, too! Because of the tail rotor's smaller size, it's less likely to be damaged in a crash. The vertical fin also improves forward flight stability.
Bell-Hiller mixing is standard on the Axe CPv3, making the helicopter smoother and more predictable throughout the entire flight envelope.
Being able to control variable pitch range from the transmitter makes learning to fly collective pitch helicopters easier — and the Axe CPv3 has it! Advanced pilots can still enjoy a full pitch range, simply by twisting the knob.
The 910mAh 15C battery included with the Axe CPv3 increases power and flight times. Genuine Deans® Ultra® connectors offer hassle-free connection and superior conductivity.
Use the wall adapter for the Axe CPv3's included charger to charge the battery from a household AC outlet — more convenient than connecting alligator clips to a 12V battery or power supply. E-Flite is a registered trademark of Horizon Hobby, Inc.
