INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the JR Robinson R22 CCPM
helicopter kit. This kit has been both engineered and manufactured
by JR with help from some of Japan’s top R/C helicopter engineers
now employed by JR.
As you may well know, for years the name JR has been
synonymous with state-of-the-art, high-quality radio control
systems known the world over for their exceptional reliability
and engineering.
JR now brings this reputation and knowledge into the helicopter
market with the development and organization of the JR heli
division. Years in the making, the JR heli’s superior quality and
exceptional parts fit and finish create a new standard of quality
that was previously unavailable.
JR CCPM
To take JR heli designs to the next level, JR’s designers turned to
CCPM (Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing). CCPM is a unique control
system that mounts three servos below the swashplate with short,
straight linkages directly to the swashplate at 120-degree
intervals. With CCPM, complex collective and cyclic mixing is
accomplished electronically, rather than mechanically. As a result,
many parts are eliminated, along with excessive control system
play, not to mention quicker building and lower maintenance.
What’s more, you get more servo power from CCPM. That’s
because instead of one servo moving the collective, you now have
three. Instead of one servo moving the cyclic, you have two.
Before you begin the assembly of your Robinson R22 CCPM, we
suggest that you first review the entire instruction manual to
become familiar with the assembly sequences and parts layout.
WARNING
The radio-controlled model helicopter contained in this kit is not a
toy but a sophisticated piece of equipment. This product is not
recommended for use by children. Radio-controlled models such
as this are capable of causing both property damage and/or bodily
harm to both the operator/assembler and/or spectator if not
properly assembled and operated. Horizon Hobby assumes no
liability for damage that could occur from the assembly and/or
use/misuse of this product.
AMA INFORMATION
We strongly encourage all prospective and current R/C aircraft
pilots to join the Academy of Model Aeronautics. The AMA is a
non-profit organization that provides services to model aircraft
pilots. As an AMA member you will receive a monthly magazine
entitled Model Aviation, as well as a liability insurance plan to
cover against possible accident or injury. All AMA charter aircraft
clubs require individuals to hold a current AMA sporting license
prior to operation of their models. For further information, contact
the AMA.

PREASSEMBLY INFORMATION
When first opening your JR heli kit, you will notice that all of the
parts are packaged and numbered to coordinate with the assembly
step numbers of this instruction manual.
All small hardware (nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) for each step are
packaged separately within the main parts bags. When beginning a
section, you will need to open only the bag with the corresponding
number to the section you are about to start. It is suggested that
you place all of the hardware in an open container (e.g., coffee
can) during assembly so as not to lose any of the small parts. It
may also be helpful to familiarize yourself with the various sizes of
screws, bolts, nuts, etc., as illustrated in the appropriate assembly
section before you begin assembly. In most cases, at the end of
each assembly section there should be no parts remaining.
Great care has been taken in filling the bags with the correct
quantity of parts and hardware for each section. However,
occasionally mistakes do happen. In the event that you find a parts
shortage or are in need of technical assistance, please contact
your local JR heli division parts dealer or contact the Horizon
Service Center.
