  If your Horizon Hobby Toy helicopter responds to other controls but not the throttle, ensure the throttle stick and trim are at their lowest settings. Verify the transmitter flight mode is set to normal. Also, confirm that the throttle hold is off. Check the motor wires for secure connection to the ESC and inspect for any damage. Ensure the flight battery is adequately charged. Finally, power down the helicopter and check if the throttle channel on the transmitter is reversed.

  Patricia MaddenAug 6, 2025
  If your Horizon Hobby Toy helicopter won't bind to the transmitter, first, ensure that both the flight battery and transmitter batteries are fully charged or replaced. Confirm the bind plug is correctly connected to the receiver bind port extension. If those steps don't work, consult your transmitter's instruction manual for specific binding guidance. Lastly, power off the transmitter, increase the distance between the transmitter and helicopter, then disconnect and reconnect the flight battery before following the binding instructions again.

  If your Horizon Hobby Toy helicopter lacks power, fully charge the flight battery. If the battery is old or damaged, replace it. Ensure the flight battery cells are balanced by allowing the charger sufficient time to balance them during a full charge. Also, inspect all servos and the helicopter motor for any damage that could cause excessive current draw through the BEC.

  If your Horizon Hobby Toy helicopter won't lift off, check that the main rotor head spins clockwise. Verify the throttle and pitch curve settings on the transmitter are correct. Ensure the flight battery is fully charged. Also, make sure the main rotor blades are installed correctly, with the thicker side as the leading edge.

  If the receiver on your Horizon Hobby Toy will not initialize, lay the helicopter on its side during initialization, especially if it's windy. Ensure the transmitter is powered on. Center the elevator, aileron, and rudder controls, and make sure the throttle is at idle.
