Why is my Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft not responding to throttle?
- D
  Douglas SanchezAug 16, 2025
  If your Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft isn't responding to the throttle but is responding to other controls, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the throttle stick and throttle trim are at their lowest settings to reset the controls. Next, verify that the throttle servo travel is set to 100% or greater. Also, check if the throttle channel is reversed and, if so, reverse it on the transmitter. Lastly, confirm that the motors are correctly connected to the ESCs.

What to do if Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft will not bind to transmitter?
- J
  Joseph ChristensenAug 19, 2025
  If your Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft won't bind to the transmitter, several factors could be the cause. First, try moving the powered transmitter a few feet away from the aircraft and then disconnect and reconnect the flight battery to the aircraft. Another reason could be interference; move both the aircraft and transmitter away from large metal objects, wireless sources, or other transmitters and try binding again. Also, make sure that the flight battery and transmitter batteries are sufficiently charged by replacing or recharging them. Finally, ensure you hold the bind switch or button long enough during the bind process. Power off the transmitter and repeat the bind process, holding the transmitter bind button or switch until the receiver is bound.

Why is flight time reduced for my Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft?
- P
  Phillip GreenAug 22, 2025
  If you're experiencing reduced flight time or your Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft feels underpowered, consider these possibilities: Ensure the flight battery is fully recharged. If the propeller is installed backwards, install it correctly with the numbers facing forward. A damaged flight battery could also be the culprit, so replace it, following the battery instructions. Cold flight conditions can affect battery performance, so make sure the battery is warm before use. Finally, the battery capacity might be too low for the flight conditions; try replacing it with a larger capacity battery.

Why is there extra propeller noise or vibration in my Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft?
- J
  joancoxAug 28, 2025
  If you notice extra propeller noise or vibration in your Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft, it could be due to several reasons. Check for any damage to the propeller, spinner, collet, or motor, and replace any damaged parts. An out-of-balance propeller can also cause these issues, so balance or replace the propeller. Finally, ensure the prop nut is tightened properly.

What to do if control surface does not move on Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft?
- K
  kristina55Aug 31, 2025
  If a control surface on your Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft isn't moving, there are several potential causes. Check for any damage to the control surface, control horn, linkage, or servo, and replace or repair any damaged parts, adjusting the controls as needed. Inspect the wires and connections for damage or looseness, connecting or replacing them as necessary. Ensure the transmitter is correctly bound or that the correct airplane is selected in the transmitter by re-binding or selecting the correct airplane. A low flight battery charge can also cause this issue, so fully recharge the flight battery. If the flight controller is damaged, replace it. Lastly, make sure the transmitter is set to airplane flight and not multirotor flight.

Why is the flight performance inconsistent on my Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft?
- J
  James FlowersSep 3, 2025
  If you're experiencing inconsistent flight performance with your Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft, there are a couple of things to check. First, make sure the trim is at neutral. If you adjust the trim more than 8 clicks, adjust the clevis to remove trim. Also, ensure that the Sub-Trim is at neutral. No Sub-Trim is allowed, so adjust the servo linkage. Finally, after connecting the battery, ensure the aircraft was kept upright and immobile for 5 seconds.

How to fix reversed controls on Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft?
- K
  Kimberly VasquezSep 6, 2025
  If the controls on your Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft are reversed, it's likely due to the transmitter settings. Perform the Control Direction Test and adjust the controls on the transmitter appropriately.

What to do if Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft flips on throttle up?
- S
  Shelia PierceSep 9, 2025
  If your Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft immediately flips or crashes when you increase the throttle, the main propellers may be installed incorrectly. Ensure that you install the propellers with the “R” propeller on the right side motor and the “L” propeller on the left side motor.

Why Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft will not stay in airplane flight mode?
- C
  Crystal BryantSep 12, 2025
  If your Horizon Hobby Toy aircraft won't transition to or stay in airplane flight mode, it could be due to a low battery triggering the Low Voltage Cutoff. Recharge the flight battery, or replace the battery if it's no longer performing well.
