Problem Possible Cause Solution

Aircraft will not re-

spond to throttle but

responds to other

controls

Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting

Throttle servo travel is lower than 100% Make sure throttle servo travel is 100% or greater

Throttle channel is reversed Reverse throttle channel on transmitter

Motor disconnected from ESC Make sure motor is connected to the ESC

Extra propeller noise

or extra vibration

Damaged propeller and spinner, collet or motor Replace damaged parts

Propeller is out of balance Balance or replace propeller

Prop nut is too loose Tighten the prop nut

Spinner is not tight or fully seated in place Tighten the spinner or remove the spinner and turn it 180 degrees.

Reduced ﬂ ight time

or aircraft under-

powered

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

Battery capacity too low for flight conditions Replace battery or use a larger capacity battery

Aircraft will not Bind

(during binding) to

transmitter

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 ob-

ject, wireless source or another transmitter

Move aircraft and transmitter to another location and attempt binding again

The bind plug is not installed correctly in the bind port Install bind plug in bind port and bind the aircraft to the transmitter

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

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

Problem Possible Cause Solution

Oscillation Flying over recommended

airspeed

Reduce air speed

Damaged propeller or spinner Replace propeller or spinner

Imbalanced propeller Balance the propeller. For more information, view John Redman’s propeller balancing video at www.

Flight condition variations Adjust gain to current ﬂ ight conditions (wind, updrafts, local conditions (elevation, humidity, temperature,

etc.))

Motor vibration 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 Adjust gain to compensate for parts wear or replace worn parts (especially propeller, pivot points or servo)

Irregular servo rotation Replace servo

Incorrect transmitter type (com-

puterized or non-computerized)

assigned in receiver

Assign correct transmitter type in the receiver (refer to receiver manual)

If oscillation persists .... Decrease gain (refer to receiver manual)

Trim change

when ﬂ ight

mode is switched

Trim is not at neutral If you adjust trim more than 8 clicks, adjust the clevis to remove trim

Sub-Trim is not at neutral No Sub-Trim is allowed. Adjust the servo arm or the clevis

Incorrect

response to the

AS3X Control

Direction Test.

Incorrect direction settings in

the receiver, which can cause

a crash

DO NOT ﬂ y. Correct the direction settings (refer to the receiver manual), then ﬂ y.
