The manufacturing process of the carbon parts often leaves micro-burrs and sharp edges.
We recommend de-burring the edges to minimize the risks of electrical wire cuts, etc.
This is particularly important in the areas shown in red.

SUGGESTION
Shims Ø8xØ12x0,1mm

Tighten the three screw M2.5.
After tightening, check the
axial play of the main shaft. It
is possible to reduce any axial play
by adding shims.
IMPORTANT: Very carefully
check to make sure you can
turn the main shaft freely.
If you feel too much friction,
you have used too many
shims, you can remove a shim until
the shaft turns freely. Main Shaft

NOTE:
We recommend assembling without shims for sport flying. However, for 3D flight or
high RPM, the best setup is assembling with at least one shim between the damper

After approximately 20/30 flights, please manually check the head dampening, you
can add one 0.1mm shim (HC450) if the dampening feels loose.

INSTALLATION OF SWASHPLATE SERVOS
The linkage ball must be positioned approximately 13-15 mm out on the servo arm (figure 1), it is recommended to use the ALZRC / KST servo arm p/n [HA052]. Because of the
120° placement of the servos in the Devil380, the arms are difficult to access. For this reason it is advisable to ensure alignment of the servo arms (and sub trim) before installa-
tion of the servos in the model (figure 2). Proceed with installation following the instructions below. Figure 3 shows a completed installation.
The rods going from the servos to the swash plate must be as vertical as possible. (Red line in Figure 4). Not all servos are equal, so for proper alignment you can choose to use the
supplied spacer H0566 under the uniball H0538.

CHAPTER 10 / INSTALLATION OF THE MOTOR PAGE 19
PAGE 18 CHAPTER 10 / INSTALLATION OF THE MOTOR
It is important to choose the right reduction ratio to maximize efficiency based on your required flight performance.
It is possible to optimize any motor and battery combination.
It is recommended to use wiring and connectors appropriate for the currents generated in a helicopter of this class.
If you are using a head speed calculator which requires a main gear and pinion tooth count, use 120 teeth for the main gear and
the tooth count of your pulley as the pinion count.
Below is a list of available reduction ratios:
19T Pinion = ratio 6.3:1 22T Pinion = ratio 5.5:1
20T Pinion = ratio 6:1 23T Pinion = ratio 5.2:1
21T Pinion = ratio 5.7:1 24T Pinion = ratio 5:1
The Devil 380 accepts a wide selection of batteries with different capacities. The suggested number of cells is 6.
All batteries from 1500 to 2600 mAh offer good performance.
We recommend the use of an 1800 mAh battery for the perfect compromise between weight and performance (3D flight).
Larger capacity batteries (2200-2600) increase flight times at the expense of weight and reduced agility (Sport flight).

NOTE :
To maximize space for the batteries, it is
advisable to shorten the motor shaft.
Follow the dimensions given in this drawing.
For the cut, you can use an electric tool like a
“Dremel” with a cutoff disc.
Additionally, ensure the motor shaft has an
appropriate ‚flat‘ for one of the set screws.

Belt 304-2GT-09
•Assemble the motor and pulley to its mounting plate.
•Install the motor assembly in the helicopter.
•It is easy to install the belt with the motor assembly pushed back towards the helicopter as far as it can go.
•First put the belt on the motor pulley.
•Then put the belt around the big pulley.
•Rotate the motor several times by hand.
•Pull and hold the motor slightly.
•Tighten the M4 nut first (It is suggested to use tool nut driver).
•The belt must be very tight.
•Tighten the rest of the bolts.
Motor Assembly
NOTE :
Check for vertical alignment of the motor pulley. To do this, simply turn the motor several times by hand and check to you see if
the belt is aligned properly with the big pulley (one way bearing pulley).
If the belt is riding too high, simply loosen up the motor pulley and drop it just a little bit, if it is riding too low, loosen up the
motor pulley and raise it a bit.
