Troubleshooting Guide
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Helicopter control response
is inconsistent or requires
extra trim to neutralize
movement
Aircraft was not initialized properly
or a vibration is interfering with the
sensor operation
Disconnect the  ight battery, center the control trim and
re-initialize the helicopter
Model does not return
to level consistently
Increase in vibration or trim  ight
data is no longer valid
Verify balance of rotating components and perform the
Trim Flight procedure
Helicopter will not respond
to throttle
Throttle too high and/or throttle trim
is too high
Disconnect the  ight battery, place the throttle stick in the
lowest position and lower the throttle trim a few clicks.
Connect the  ight battery and allow the model to initialize
Helicopter moved during initialization
Disconnect the flight battery and re-initialize the
helicopter while keeping the helicopter from moving
Helicopter has reduced
fl ight time or is under-
powered
Flight battery charge is low Completely recharge the  ight battery
Flight battery is damaged Replace the  ight battery and follow the  ight battery instructions
Flight conditions might be too cold Make sure the battery is warm (room temperature) before use
LED on receiver fl ashes
rapidly and aircraft will
not respond to transmitter
(during binding)
Transmitter too near aircraft during
binding process
Power off the transmitter. Move the transmitter a larger
distance from the aircraft. Disconnect and reconnect the
 ight battery to the aircraft. Follow the binding instructions
Bind switch or button was not held
while transmitter was powered on
Power off transmitter and repeat bind process
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to
large metal object, wireless source
or another transmitter
Move aircraft and transmitter to another
location and attempt binding again
Post-Flight Inspection
√
Ball Links
Make sure the plastic ball link holds the control ball, but is not tight (binding) on the ball. When a link
is too loose on the ball, it can separate from the ball during fl ight and cause a crash. Replace worn
ball links before they fail.
Cleaning
Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or
a dry, lint-free cloth.
Bearings Replace bearings when they become notchy (sticky in places when turning) or draggy.
Wiring Make sure the wiring does not contact moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors.
Fasteners
Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over-tighten metal
screws in plastic parts. Tighten screws so the parts are mated together, then turn the screw only
1/8th of a turn more.
Rotors
Make sure there is no damage to rotor blades and other parts which move at high speed. Damage
to these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts before fl ying. Verify
both main rotor blades have the correct and equal tension in the blade grips. When the helicopter is
held up sideways, the main blades should support their own weight. When the helicopter is shaken
lightly, the blades should fall.
Tail
Inspect the tail rotor for damage and replace if necessary. Verify the tail motor bolts, tail rotor adapter
bolts and tail motor mount bolts are properly tightened. Inspect the tail boom for any damage and
replace if necessary.
Mechanics
Inspect the main frame and landing gear for damage and replace if necessary. Check the mainshaft for
vertical play and adjust the locking collar if necessary. Verify that the main gear mesh is correct and that
no tight spots exist in the 360 degree rotation. Inspect all wires for damage and replace as necessary.
