Problem Possible Cause Solution

LED on the receiver ﬂ ashes

rapidly and the helicopter

will not respond to the

transmitter (after binding)

The bind plug was not removed

from the receiver after binding

Disconnect the ﬂ ight battery, remove the bind plug from

the receiver and reconnect the ﬂ ight battery.

Less than a 5-second wait

between ﬁ rst powering on the

transmitter and connecting the

ﬂ ight battery to the helicopter

Leave the transmitter powered on. Disconnect and

reconnect the ﬂ ight 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 ﬂ ight 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 ﬂ ight

Damaged rotor blades, spindle or

blade grips

Check main rotor blades and blade grips for cracks or

chips. Replace damaged parts. Replace bent spindle

Random movements

in ﬂ ight

Vibration

Verify the receiver is properly attached to the helicopter.

Inspect mounting tape for damage. 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

Damaged tail rotor, main gear

mesh, loose bolts, vibration

Verify that the boom support bolts are tight and the plastic

boom support ends are properly adhered to the boom support

rods. Inspect the tail rotor for damage. Verify that all bolts on

the tail assembly are properly tightened. Verify main gear mesh

and ensure no tight spots in the mesh through full rotation.

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 ﬁ nd 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

Drift in wind Normal

The model will drift with the wind but should remain level

in ﬂ ight. Simply hold the cyclic stick in the necessary po-

sition 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

Panic Recovery or Return

to Level does not level the

model

Model was not initialized on a level,

still surface

Re-initialize the model on a level and still surface

Model was not taken off of a level

surface

Always lift off from a level surface

Severe vibration

Battery strapped too tightly to the

model

Loosen the battery strap

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 Re-

turn to Level functions to work properly
