Kit Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the X-Cell Whiplash 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” 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hisproducttomakeitreliableinoperationand
easy to build. The essentially bolt together construction can proceed quite rapidly, giving 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 engine.
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.
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
•FirstofalltakecaretogettherightinsurancetoR/Chelicopters.
•Flyonlyatapprovedyingeldsandobeyeldregulations.
•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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.
•Followallrecommendedmaintenanceproceduresformodel,radioandengine.

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.
•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.
•Cleanallmetalparts.Allofthesteelpartsinthiskitarecoatedwithalubricanttopreventthemfromrusting.
Thiscoatingcaninterferewiththeadhesivesandthreadlocksneededforassembly.Useasolventsuchas
alcohol or acetone to clean the various metal parts, especially threads. 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.

Assembly Tip
• Install MA0051 M3x3 Socket Set Screws
only until they bottom out against the
lower bearing. Do not overtighten or
damage to swashplate bearing will
occur. Note: these are used to adjust
the bearing tolerance if it develops play
over time.
Apply a small amount of
medium thread lock when
threading into metal parts

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.

• Use some light oil such as Tri-Flow
into tail boom to ease installation
for torque tube assembly.
• Install the torque tube with the open
ends of the bearing cups towards
the back of the tail boom assembly.
This will ensure the bearing stays
seated in the bearing cup.
• Install MA128-144 T/R Control Rod
Guides with the dimples towards
front of tail assembly. Use a small
amount of cyanoacrylate
glue to ensure each
guide stays in
position.
• The use of “243 blue” thread lock
such as MA3200-20 (loctite blue #243)
is recommended on MA0078 Socket
Bolts.
• Do not overtighten MA0065 Socket
Bolts on the Rear Boom Support
Mounts.
•
Aluminum boom support ends have
a dimple on one side. The dimple
indicates a slight angle built in to this
part. On the Boom support assembly
side that attaches to the main frame,
the dimple will be facing “in”.
