Post-Flight Inspections and Maintenance

Make sure the plastic ball link holds the control ball, but is not tight (binding) on the ball. When a link is too loose on the ball, it can separate
Ball Links
from the ball during fl ight and cause a crash. Replace worn ball links before they fail.
Cleaning Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or a dry lint free cloth.
Replace bearings when they become damaged.
Bearings
Make sure wiring does not block moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors.
Wiring
Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over tighten metal screws in plastic parts. Tighten screw so
Fasteners
parts are mated together, then turn screw only 1/8th of a turn more.
Make sure there is no damage to rotor blades and other parts which move at high speed. Damage to these parts includes cracks, burrs,
Rotors
chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts before fl ying.
Make sure the AR636A is securely attached to the frame. Replace the double-sided tape when necessary. The helicopter will crash if the
Flight Controller
AR636A separates from the helicopter frame.

Advanced Settings

The 360 CFX 3S default settings are appropriate for most users. We recommend fl ying with the default parameters before making any adjustments.
WARNING: To ensure your safety, always disconnect the motor wires from the ESC before performing the following steps.
After you have completed the adjustments, reconnect the motor wires to the ESC before attempting to fl y the model.
Gain Parameters
1. Cyclic P Gain Adjustment (Default 100%)
Higher gain will result in greater stability. Setting the gain too high may result in
random twitches if your model has an excessive level of vibration. High frequency
oscillations may also occur if the gain is set too high.
Lower gain will result in less stability. Too low of a value may result in a less stable
model particularly outdoors in winds.
If you are located at a higher altitude or in a warmer climate, higher gains may be
benefi cial—the opposite is true for lower altitude or colder climates.
2. Cyclic I Gain Adjustment (Default 100%)
Higher gain will result in the model remaining still, but may cause low frequency
oscillations if increased too far.
Lower gain will result in the model drifting slowly.
If you are located at a higher altitude or in a warmer climate, higher gains may be
benefi cial—the opposite is true for lower altitude or colder climates.
3. Cyclic D Gain Adjustment (Default 100%)
Higher gain will improve the response rate of your inputs. If the gain is raised too
much, high frequency oscillations may occur.
Lower gain will slow down the response to inputs.
4. Cyclic Response (Default 100%)
Higher cyclic response will result in a more aggressive cyclic response.
Lower cyclic response will result in a less aggressive cyclic response.
5. Tailrotor P Gain Adjustment (Default 100%)
Higher gain will result in greater stability. Setting the gain too high may result
in random twitches if your model has an excessive level of vibration. High frequency
oscillations may also occur if the gain is set too high.
Lower gain may result in a decrease in stability. Too low of a value may result in a
less stable model particularly outdoors in winds.
If you are located at a higher altitude or in a warmer climate, higher gains may be
benefi cial—the opposite is true for lower altitude or colder climates.
6. Tailrotor I Gain Adjustment (Default 100%)
Higher gain results in the tail remaining still. If the gain is raised too far, low speed
oscillations may occur.
Lower gain will result in the tail drifting in fl ight over time.
If you are located at a higher altitude or in a warmer climate, higher gains may be
benefi cial—the opposite is true for lower altitude or colder climates.
7. Tailrotor D Gain Adjustment (Default 100%)
Higher gain will improve the response rate to your inputs. If raised too far, high
frequency oscillations may occur.
Lower gain will slow down the response to inputs, but will not have an effect on
stability.
