Problem Possible Cause Solution
Helicopter has reduced flight
time or is underpowered
Flight battery charge is low Completely recharge the flight battery
Flight battery is damaged
Replace the flight battery and follow the flight battery
instructions
Flight conditions might be too cold Make sure the battery is warm (room temperature) before use
LED on receiver flashes
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
flight 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
LED on the receiver flashes
rapidly and the helicopter
will not respond to the
transmitter (after binding)
Less than a 5-second wait between
first powering on the transmitter
and connecting the flight battery to
the helicopter
Leave the transmitter powered on. Disconnect and
reconnect the flight battery to the helicopter
The helicopter is bound to
a different model memory
(ModelMatch
™
transmitters only)
Select the correct model memory on the transmitter.
Disconnect and reconnect the flight battery to the
helicopter
Flight battery or transmitter battery
charge is too low
Replace or recharge batteries
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to
large metal object, wireless source
or another transmitter
Move aircraft and transmitter to another
location and attempt connecting again
Helicopter vibrates or shakes
in flight
Damaged rotor blades, spindle,
blade grips, main gear teeth or
cracked main shaft.
Check main rotor blades, blade grips, main gear and main
shaft for cracks, chips or missing teeth. Replace damaged
parts. Replace bent spindle
Rotor head linkages not connected
correctly
Connect the rotor head linkages to the short ball links on
the swashplate
Model does not hold level/
Panic recovery does not
level. Random movements
in flight
Vibration
Verify the receiver is properly attached to the helicopter. Verify
that no wires are contacting the receiver. Inspect and balance
all rotating components. Verify the main shaft and tail rotor
adapter are not damaged or bent. Inspect mechanics for
broken or damaged parts and replace as necessary
Tail oscillation/wag or poor
performance
Loose tail boom, damaged tail rotor,
loose bolts, vibration
Verify that the boom is tight and completely inserted into the
frame. Inspect the tail rotor for damage. Verify the tail motor
mount is tight. Replace any damaged or worn components
Drift in calm winds
Vibration, damaged linkage,
damaged servo
Under normal operation the transmitter trims should
not require adjustment and the center positions are
memorized during initialization. If you find that trim
adjustments are necessary after take off, verify the
balance of all rotating components, ensure the linkages
are not damaged and make sure the servos are in proper
working condition. Perform the Drift Calibration procedure
Drift in wind Normal
The model will drift with the wind but should remain level
in flight. Simply hold the cyclic stick in the necessary
position to keep the model stationary. The model must
lean into the wind to remain stationary, if the model
remains level then it will drift with the wind
Severe vibration Rotating component out of balance
Check the main shaft, tail rotor, main rotor blades, main
frame and adapter for damage, replace as necessary.
Vibration must be minimized for Panic Recovery and
Return to Level functions to work properly
