FEATURES 

Congratulations on owning a bavarianDEMON stabilization system.

This system enables huge performance from your model. The head gyro eliminates all undesired flybarless head characteristics, 

resulting in optimal control and precision. By incorporating the latest generation of high-quality MEMS gyros, this system offer full 3D 
capability, whilst boasting a top-quality, ultra-fast tail gyro. In addition, it has in-built symmetrical torque control (revo mix). This results 
in a further increase in ‚lock-in‘ ability, made possible by coupling the tail gyro internally with the coll.pitch data of the rotor head control.
With this latest generation system, the AXON increases the existing performance to a new level, not only in regards to the additional 
horizon and rescue features, but with the enhanced overall feature and characteristic set.

Of course, the AXON remains perfectly suitable for all kinds of helicopter, no matter whether flybared or flybarless, trainer or scale 
helicopter (twin- and multi-bladed), as well as flybarless helicopters such as turbine powered trainers, etc..  The AXON can be used 

without limit for all different power unit types, no matter whether electric, nitro or gas, as well as for gas turbines too.
Supported servo types include all analog, digital and brushless servos, including narrow-pulse servos (760µs) on the tail at 500Hz. 
Moreover, all current swashplate variants, including four swashplate servos and virtual swash rotation, CCPM/H1, H3-90°, H3-120°, 
H3-140°, H4-90°, H4-90°+45° are supported.

Direct USB connection for fast programming (via Win and MacOS software as well as Android- and iOS Apps in combination with the 
Bluetooth module, available separately), bank switching of complete parameter sets, as well as clear separation of the gain (sensitivi-
ty) settings for head and tail gyro in independent auxiliary channels, reduce the setup work to a minimum. The absolutely independent 
Horizon channel provides activation and tuning of the multiple Horizon and rescue modes.

The AXON’s firmware can be updated online quickly and simple via the internet. For hints and instructions, please see the software.
