Troubleshooting Guide
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 flies inconsistently
from flight to flight
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
flight, (model rapidly
jumps or moves)
Propeller, spinner or motor is unbalanced,
causing excessive vibration
Balance parts or replace it if damaged
Nut on prop shaft is too loose, causing
excessive vibration
Tighten the prop shaft nut 1/2 turn
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 propeller noise or
extra vibration
Propeller, spinner or motor is unbalanced,
causing excessive vibration
Balance parts or replace it if damaged
Prop screw is too loose Tighten the prop screw
Reduced flight time or
aircraft underpowered
Flight battery charge is low Completely recharge flight battery
Propeller installed backwards Install propeller with numbers facing forward
Flight battery damaged or old.
Replace flight battery and follow flight battery
instructions
Flight conditions may be too cold Make sure battery is warm before use
Battery capacity too low for flight conditions
Replace battery or use a larger capacity
battery
LED on receiver flashes
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 flight 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
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
