What to do if LED on receiver flashes rapidly and BNF Toy aircraft will not link to transmitter?

If the LED on the receiver flashes rapidly and the BNF aircraft won't link to the transmitter, ensure you wait at least 5 seconds after powering on the transmitter before connecting the flight battery to the aircraft. Also, the transmitter may be too close to the aircraft during binding, so move the powered transmitter a few feet away. Other causes could be that the aircraft is not bound to the transmitter, so ensure you bind the transmitter to the aircraft receiver. If you are using ModelMatch™ radios, select the correct model memory on the transmitter. Lastly, check the transmitter batteries and replace or charge them if they are low.
