  If your E-FLITE Toy aircraft responds to other controls but not to the throttle, check the following: * Ensure the throttle is at the lowest position and the throttle trim is not too high. Reset the controls accordingly. * Verify that the throttle servo travel is set to 100% or greater. * Confirm that the throttle channel is not reversed. If it is, reverse the throttle channel on the transmitter. * Make sure the motor is properly connected to the ESC.

Why E-FLITE Apprentice S 15e Toy motor power pulses and loses power?
- S
  Steven HayesAug 31, 2025
  If the motor power pulses and then the motor loses power on your E-FLITE Toy, consider these potential causes: * The ESC may be using the default soft Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Recharge the flight battery or replace it if it's no longer performing. * Weather conditions might be too cold. Postpone the flight until the weather is warmer. * The battery might be old, worn out, or damaged. Replace the battery. * The battery C rating might be too small. Use the recommended battery.
