Trouble Shooting Guide

Problem Possible Cause Solution

Aircraft oscillates

Loose or damaged spinner nut, propeller, shaft or

motor

Replace parts or correctly align all parts and tighten fasteners

as needed

Loose receiver Align and secure receiver in fuselage

Loose aircraft controls

Tighten or otherwise secure parts (servo, arm, linkage, horn and control

surface)

Worn parts Replace worn parts (especially propeller, spinner or servo)

Trim is at extreme and

aircraft does not ﬂ y

straight or level

Trim is not at neutral

If you need to adjust trim more than 8 clicks, return the trim to neutral and

manually adjust the clevis to mechanically remove trim

Trim change when

ﬂ ight mode is switched

Receiver did not save trim setting

After adjusting transmitter trim in the air or on the ground, do not touch the

control sticks for 2 seconds

Aircraft will not re-

spond to throttle but

responds to other

controls

Throttle not at lowest position 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/ESC Make sure motor is connected to the Receiver/ESC

Extra propeller noise or

extra vibration

Damaged propeller and spinner nut, shaft

or motor

Replace damaged parts

Propeller is out of balance Balance or replace propeller

Prop nut is too loose Tighten the prop nut

Reduced ﬂ ight time or

aircraft underpowered

Flight battery charge is low Completely recharge ﬂ ight battery

Propeller installed backwards Install propeller with numbers facing forward

Flight battery damaged Replace ﬂ ight battery and follow ﬂ ight battery instructions

Flight conditions may be too cold Make sure battery is warm before use

Aircraft will not Bind

(during binding) to

transmitter.

Refer to the transmit-

ter manual for binding

instructions

Transmitter too near aircraft during

binding process

Move powered transmitter a few feet from aircraft, disconnect and reconnect

ﬂ ight battery to aircraft

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

Flight battery/transmitter battery charge is too low Replace/recharge batteries

The bind plug is not installed correctly in the bind

port

Install bind plug in bind port and bind the aircraft to the transmitter

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 will not

connect (after binding)

to transmitter

Refer to the transmit-

ter manual for binding

instructions

Transmitter too near aircraft during

connecting process

Move powered transmitter a few feet from aircraft, disconnect and reconnect

ﬂ ight battery to aircraft

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

Bind plug left installed in bind port

Rebind transmitter to the aircraft and remove the bind plug before cycling

power

Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge is too low Replace/recharge batteries

Transmitter may have been bound to a

different aircraft using different DSM protocol

Bind aircraft to transmitter

Control surface does

not move

Control surface, control horn, linkage or servo dam-

age

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 ﬂ ight battery

Receiver is damaged Replace Receiver

Controls reversed Transmitter settings are reversed

Perform the Control Direction Test and adjust the controls on transmitter ap-

propriately

Motor power pulses

then motor loses

power

Normal Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) Recharge ﬂ ight battery or replace battery that is no longer performing

Weather conditions might be too cold Postpone flight until weather is warmer

Battery is old, worn out, or damaged Replace battery

Battery C rating might be too small Use recommended battery
