      Veronica AdamsAug 1, 2025
      If your HobbyZone Toy does not operate, there could be several reasons: * The transmitter's "AA" batteries may be depleted or installed incorrectly. Check the polarity or replace them with fresh batteries. * There may be no electrical connection. Ensure connectors are pushed together until they click. * The Aerobird Challenger™ battery might not be charged. Make sure to charge the battery fully. * The crash may have damaged the radio inside the Aerobird Challenger. If this is the case, replace the fuselage.
