What to do if Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft will not respond to throttle?
- R
  Robert BaldwinAug 22, 2025
  If your Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft responds to other controls but not to the throttle, it could be because the throttle is not at idle or the throttle trim is too high; reset the controls with the throttle stick and trim at the lowest setting. Ensure the throttle servo travel is 100% or greater. Another possible cause is a reversed throttle channel; with the battery disconnected, reverse the throttle channel on the transmitter. Finally, check that the motor is connected to the ESC.

Why does my Horizon Hobby Toy have reduced flight time?
- C
  Christian GreenAug 26, 2025
  Reduced flight time in your Horizon Hobby Toy can occur if the flight battery charge is low, so completely recharge it. A damaged flight battery can also cause this, so replace it and follow the battery instructions. Cold flight conditions may also affect performance; ensure the battery is not cold before use, but avoid applying heat to it. Lastly, the battery capacity might be too low for the flight conditions; replace it with a larger capacity battery if needed.

What causes excessive noise in Horizon Hobby Toy propeller?
- D
  Don MillerAug 28, 2025
  Excessive propeller noise or vibration in your Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft can be caused by a damaged propeller, nose cone, collet, or motor; replace any damaged parts. An out-of-balance propeller can also cause this, so balance or replace it. Additionally, check if the propeller nut is too loose and tighten it if necessary.

Why is flight performance of Horizon Hobby Toy inconsistent?
- J
  Jacqueline JonesSep 2, 2025
  Inconsistent flight performance of your Horizon Hobby Toy can occur if the trim is not at neutral; if you adjust the trim more than 8 clicks, adjust the pushrod to remove trim. Also, ensure that sub-trim is not used, and adjust the servo linkage instead. Another potential cause is that the aircraft was not kept immobile for 5 seconds after battery connection; disconnect and reconnect the battery with the throttle stick in the lowest position, and keep the aircraft still for 5 seconds.

What to do if Horizon Hobby Toy control surface does not move?
- D
  David CarpenterSep 5, 2025
  If the control surface on your Horizon Hobby Toy does not move, it could be due to damage to the control surface, control horn, linkage, or servo; replace or repair any damaged parts and adjust the controls. Damaged wires or loose connections can also cause this issue; check the wires and connections, connecting or replacing them as needed. Ensure the transmitter is bound correctly or that the correct aircraft is selected in the transmitter. A low flight battery charge can also prevent movement, so fully recharge the flight battery. Lastly, the BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) of the ESC might be damaged, requiring ESC replacement.

Why does Horizon Hobby Toy motor power pulse?
- W
  weberashleySep 8, 2025
  If your Horizon Hobby Toy motor power pulses and then loses power, it could be because the ESC uses the default soft Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC); recharge the flight battery or replace it if it's no longer performing well. Cold weather conditions can also cause this issue; postpone the flight until the weather is warmer. The battery might also be old, worn out, or damaged, necessitating replacement. Lastly, the battery C rating might be too small; use the recommended battery.
