Troubleshooting Guide
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Aircraft will not respond to
throttle but responds to other
controls
Throttle stick and/or throttle trim too high
Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle
trim at lowest setting
Throttle channel is reversed Reverse throttle channel on transmitter
Motor disconnected from receiver
Open fuselage and make sure motor is
connected to the receiver
Extra motor noise or extra
vibration
Damaged rotor or motor Replace damaged parts
Rotor out of balance Balance or replace the rotor
Reduced  ight time or
aircraft underpowered
Flight battery charge is low Completely recharge  ight battery
Flight battery damaged
Replace  ight battery and follow  ight battery
instructions
Flight conditions may be too cold Make sure battery is warm before use
Battery capacity too low for  ight conditions Replace battery or use a larger capacity battery
LED on receiver  ashes
and aircraft will not bind to
transmitter (during binding)
Transmitter too near aircraft during
binding process
Power off transmitter, move transmitter a
larger distance from aircraft, disconnect and
reconnect  ight battery to aircraft and follow
binding instructions
Bind switch or button not held long enough
during bind process
Power off transmitter and repeat bind process.
Hold transmitter bind button or switch until
receiver is bound
LED on receiver  ashes
rapidly and aircraft will not
respond to transmitter
(after binding)
Less than a 5-second wait between  rst
powering on transmitter and connecting
 ight battery to aircraft
Leaving transmitter on, disconnect and
reconnect  ight battery to aircraft
Aircraft bound to different model memory
(ModelMatch
™
radios only)
Select correct model memory on transmitter
and disconnect and reconnect  ight battery
to aircraft
Flight battery/transmitter battery charge is
too low
Replace/recharge batteries
Control surface does not move
Control surface, control horn, linkage or
servo damage
Replace or repair damaged parts and
adjust controls
Wire damaged or connections loose
Do a check of wires and connections, connect
or replace as needed
Flight battery charge is low Fully recharge  ight battery
Control linkage does not move freely Make sure control linkage moves freely
Controls reversed Transmitter settings reversed Adjust controls on transmitter appropriately
Motor loses power Damage to motor or power components
Do a check of motor and power components
for damage (replace as needed)
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Control surfaces not at
neutral position when
transmitter controls are
at neutral
Control surfaces may not have been
mechanically centered from factory
Center control surfaces mechanically by
adjusting the U-bends on control linkages
Aircraft was not kept immobile for 5
seconds after battery was plugged in
Keep the aircraft immobile for 5 seconds after
plugging in the battery
Model  ies
inconsistently from
 ight to  ight
Aircraft was not kept immobile for 5
seconds after battery was plugged in
Keep the aircraft immobile for 5 seconds after
plugging in the battery
Trims are moved too far from
neutral position
Neutralize trims and mechanically adjust
linkages to center control surfaces
Controls oscillate in
 ight, (model rapidly
jumps or moves)
Rotor is unbalanced, causing
excessive vibration
Remove rotor and motor. Check motor shaft for
straightness and replace rotor if damaged
