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 “730 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.

• 3 piece thrust bearing (MA131-66)
outer race with larger I.D. (inside

• 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.

• Ensure that the boom is full inserted
through boom clamps.
• Do not tighten MA0067 Socket Bolts
at this step.
• It is normal that the boom clamps

moved to correct position.

Assembly Tips
• Please use some grease, 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, remove the torque tube again
and apply some more lubricant.
• Install torque tube from the tail side
into the boom. It is normally that the
tube goes in with force into the boom.
• The torque tube is at the correct
position inside the boom if at the tail
side the end of the boom, it ‘cuts’ the
head of the m2 socketbolt in half (top
view at the socket bolt) .

• The use of thread lock MA3200-20
(loctite #243) is recommended on
MA0078 Socket Bolts.
• Do not overtighten MA0065 Socket
Bolts on the Rear Boom Support
Mounts.
IMPORTANT:
•
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.”
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.
