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)
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 ight time or
aircraft underpowered
Flight battery charge is low Completely recharge ight battery
Propeller installed backwards Install propeller with numbers facing forward
Flight battery damaged or old. 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
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
Troubleshooting Guide (Continued)
Problem Possible Cause Solution
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
Transmitter may not be compatible with
Spektrum DSM2/DSMX technology
Use a genuine Spektrum DSM2/DSMX
transmitter
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large
metal object, wireless source or another
transmitter
Move aircraft and transmitter to
anotherlocation and attempt linking again
Control surface does
not move
Control surface, control horn, linkage or
servo damage
Replace or repair damaged parts and adjust
controls
Wires 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)
Motor power quickly
decreases and
increases then motor
loses power
Battery power is down to the point of
receiver/ESC Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Recharge ight battery or replace battery that
is no longer performing
Motor/ESC is not armed
after landing
Over Current Protection (OCP) stops the
motor when the transmitter throttle is set
high and the propeller cannot turn
Fully lower throttle and throttle trim to arm
ESC
Servo locks or freezes
at full travel
Travel adjust value is set above 100%,
overdriving the servo
Set Travel adjust to 100% or less and/or
set sub-trims to Zero and adjust linkages
mechanically
