Kit Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the X-Cell Whiplash Turbine by Miniature Aircraft. This model is the culmination
of years of designing and manufacturing R/C helicopters. It is designed with the highest standards, and will
provide years of enjoyment. Whether this is your rst R/C model helicopter or you are an advanced R/C
helicopter modeler, the X-Cell Whiplash is a fantastic choice for a “700 size” turbine powered model.
R/C Helicopter Safety
A radio controlled model helicopter is not a toy, but rather a technically complex device that must be built
and operated with care. It is also a fascinating and challenging part of the R/C sport, the mastery of which
is very rewarding. A model helicopter must be built exactly in accordance with the building instructions.
The kit manufacturer has spent much time and effort rening this product to make it reliable in operation
and easy to build. The bolt together construction can proceed quite rapidly. This give the builder a strong
sense of accomplishment that encourages hasty progress from one construction phase to the next, so that
the completed model can be more quickly seen and enjoyed. It is essential to recognize and guard against
this tendency. Follow building instructions exactly. Vibration and stress levels are high and all fasteners and
attachments must be secure for safe operation.
Note that this is the rst use of the word SAFETY in these comments. Previously the kit manufacturer’s efforts
to ensure reliable operation were mentioned. That is ALL that he can do. Safe operation is the responsibility
of the builder/yer and starts with careful construction and continues with selection and installation of reliable
radio equipment and power systems.
The need for safety is nowhere greater than at the ying eld. A number of guidelines for safe ight have
been developed by experienced yers and are set down here. It is urged that they be read, understood and
followed. Always have a ready to use CO2 re-extinguisher (at least 2kg of CO2) next to the place where you
start the Whiplash turbine engine.
Warning! – Risk of death or serious injury
Remote Control (“R/C”) Helicopters can be dangerous. Inexperienced pilots of R/C Helicopters should
be trained and supervised by experienced operators. All operators should use safety glasses and other
appropriate safety equipment. All operators should exercise necessary precautions when fueling, repairing,
maintaining, ying and storing R/C Helicopters, and when using or storing R/C Helicopter accessories,
equipment, fuels, and related materials. R/C Helicopters should be used only in open areas free of obstacles
and far enough from people to minimize the possibility of injury from the helicopter or any of its components
falling or ying in unexpected directions.
This helicopter is not a toy but a complex ying machine that must be assembled with care by a responsible
individual. Failure to exert care in assembly, or radio or accessory installation, may result in a model incapable
of safe ight or ground operation. Rotating components are an ever present danger and source of injury to
operators and spectators. Since the manufacturer and his agents have no control over the proper assembly
and operation of his products, no responsibility or liability can be assumed for their use.
General Guidelines for Safe R/C Helicopter Flight
• Fly only at approved ying elds and obey eld regulations. Fly only if there are other people at the eld.
• Follow frequency control procedures. Interference can be dangerous to all.
• Know your radio. Check all transmitter functions before each ight.
• Be aware that rotating blades are very dangerous and can cause serious injury.
• Never y near or above spectators or other modelers.
• If you’re a beginner, get help trimming the model rst and seek ight training later.
• Don’t “track” the main blades by holding the tail boom. This is a temptation to builders who cannot hover yet
and is very dangerous.

Academy of Model Aeronautics
Miniature Aircraft highly recommends joining the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA).
• AMA is the Academy of Model Aeronautics.
• AMA is the world’s largest model aviation association, representing a membership of more than 195,000
from every walk of life, income level and age group.
• AMA is a self-supporting, non-prot organization whose purpose is to promote development of model
aviation as a recognized sport and worthwhile recreation activity.
• AMA is an organization open to anyone interested in model aviation.
• AMA is the ofcial national body for model aviation in the United States. AMA sanctions more than one
thousand model competitions throughout the country each year and certies ofcial model ying records on
a national and international level.
• AMA is the organizer of the annual National Aeromodeling Championships, the world’s largest model
airplane competition.
• AMA is the chartering organization for more than 2,500 model airplane clubs across the country. AMA offers
its chartered clubs ofcial contest sanction, insurance, and assistance in getting and keeping ying sites.
• AMA is the voice of its membership, providing liaison with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal
Communications Commission, and other government agencies through our national headquarters in Muncie,
Indiana. AMA also works with local governments, zoning boards, and parks departments to promote the
interests of local chartered clubs.
• AMA is an associate member of the National Aeronautic Association. Through NAA, AMA is recognized by
the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), the world governing body of all aviation activity, as the only
organization which may direct U.S. participation in international aeromodeling activities.

Important Assembly Tips - PLEASE READ
• Follow the instructions. The methods of construction documented in this manual have been proven to work.
Do not rush the build of your model! You have purchased a world class model helicopter kit, take your time
and realize that the nal result is now up to you. Take the time to fully understand each step and if you are
unsure please contact Miniature Aircraft, or a representative.
• Follow the order of assembly. The instructions have been organized into major sections and have been
written in such a way that each step builds upon the work done in the previous step. Changing the order of
assembly may result in unnecessary steps.
• Be sure not to overtighten bolts as damage to bearings and other components will occur.
• It is very important to lightly sand the edges of all carbon ber pieces. Miniature Aircraft recommends doing
so prior to the assembly process. Carbon ber edges can be sharp and can easily cut component wires and
battery mounting straps. It is important to use safety precautions when creating carbon ber dust. The use
of a particulate mask, preferably one with a P100 HEPA lter is recommended. Always clean up carbon ber
dust with a damp rag right away.
• Use thread lock as indicated. Generally any bolt or screw that threads into a metal part requires thread lock.
Model helicopters are subject to vibration and failing to use thread lock on any non-locking assembly may
result in a part becoming loose or falling off in ight.

• 3 piece thrust bearing (MA131-66)
outer race with larger I.D. (inside
diameter) installs closest to hub.
• Grease the center ball cage of the
thrust bearing. We recommend using
MA3200-06 Tri-Flow synthetic grease.
• Only hand tighten MA0061 Socket
Bolt until it is moderately tight. Do
not overtighten bolt or it may result
in fatigue to bolt. Use green thread
lock on these bolts.

• Please use some grease or vaseline
or tallow to grease the tail boom from
the inner side and the o-rings of the
torque tube. So the tube will slide
in smooth. If it stops before it is at
the correct position so remove the
torque tube again and apply some
more grease.
• Install orque tube from the tail side
into the boom. It is normally that the
tube goes in strong into the boom.
• The torque tube is at the correct
position inside the boom if at the tail
side the end of the boom ‘cuts’ the
head of the m2 socketbolt in half (top
view at the socket bolt) .
IMPORTANT:
•
This screw must not be
longer than M3 x 6 mm. If
you use a longer screw the
bearings for the bevel gear
will be damaged.
