Maintenance
Repairs to the foam should be made with foam safe adhesives such as hot glue, foam safe CA, and 5min epoxy.
When parts are not repairable, see the spare parts list for ordering by item number.
Always check to make sure all screws on the aircraft are tightened. Pay special attention to make sure the spinner is
firmly in place before every flight.
Land the aircraft when you start to feel sluggish motor response. If using a transmitter with a timer, set the timer so you
have enough flight time to make several landing approaches.The model’s three point landing gear allows the model to land
on hard surfaces. Align model directly into the wind and fly down to the ground. Fly the airplane down to the ground using
1/4-1/3 throttle to keep enough energy for proper flare. Before the model touches down, always fully decrease the throttle
to avoid damaging the propeller or other components. The key to a great landing is to manage the power and elevator all
the way to the ground and set down lightly on the main landing gear. With some practice, you will be able to set the aircraft
gently on its main gear and hold it that way until the speed reduces enough where the nose wheel (tricycle landing gear
aircraft) or tail wheel (tail draggers) settles onto the ground.
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Aircraft will not respond to
the throttle but responds to
other controls.
ESC is not armed.
Throttle channel is reversed.
Lower throttle stick and throttle trim to lowest
settings.
Reverse throttle channel on transmitter.
Excessive vibration or
propeller noise.
Damaged spinner, propeller,
motor or motor mount.
Loose propeller and spinner parts.
Propellor installed backwards.
Replace damaged parts.
Tighten parts for propeller adapter, propeller
and spinner.
Remove and install propeller correctly.
Reduced flight time or
aircraft underpowered.
Flight battery charge is low.
Propeller installed backward.
Flight battery damaged.
Completely recharge flight battery.
Replace flight battery and follow flight battery
instructions.
Control surfaces
unresponsive or sluggish.
Control surface, control horn,
linkage or servo damage.
Wire damaged or connections
loose.
Replace or repair damaged parts and adjust
controls.
Do a check of connections for loose wiring.
Controls reversed.
Channels are reversed in the
transmitter.
Do the control direction test and adjust controls for
aircraft and transmitter.
Motor loses power
Motor power pulses then
motor loses power.
Damage to motor, or battery.
Loss of power to aircraft.
ESC uses default soft Low Voltage
Cutoff(LVC).
Do a check of batteries, transmitter, receiver, ESC,
motor and wiring for damage(replace as needed).
Land aircraft immediately and recharge flight battery.
