Problem Possible Cause Solution
Aircraft will
not respond 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
Reduced flight
time or aircraft
underpowered
Flight battery charge is low Completely recharge flight battery
Propeller installed backwards Install propeller with numbers facing forward
Flight battery damaged
Replace flight battery and follow flight 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 flight 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
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
Aircraft will
not connect
(after binding)
to transmitter
Transmitter too near aircraft
during connecting process
Move powered transmitter a few feet from
aircraft, disconnect and reconnect flight 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
Aircraft bound to different model
memory (ModelMatchTM radios
only)
Select correct model memory on transmitter
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 damage
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
Transmitter is not bound
correctly or the incorrect airplane
was selected
Re-bind or select correct airplane in transmitter
Flight battery charge is low Fully recharge flight battery
BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit)
of the ESC is damaged
Replace ESC
