What to do if Horizon Hobby Aircrafts won't respond to throttle?
- P
  Parker MillerAug 12, 2025
  If your Horizon Hobby Aircrafts won't respond to the throttle but responds to other controls, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the throttle is at idle and the throttle trim is at the lowest setting by resetting the controls. Also, make sure the throttle servo travel is 100% or greater. Check if the throttle channel is reversed and correct it on the transmitter if needed. Finally, verify that the motor is properly connected to the ESC.

How to fix Horizon Hobby E-FLITE Ultra Stick 1.1m that will not bind to transmitter?
- B
  Bonnie CampbellAug 16, 2025
  If your Horizon Hobby Aircrafts won't bind to the transmitter, it might be due to several factors. Try moving the powered transmitter a few feet away from the aircraft, then disconnect and reconnect the flight battery to the aircraft. Ensure that the aircraft and transmitter are not too close to large metal objects, wireless sources, or other transmitters; move them to a different location and try binding again. Check that the bind plug is correctly installed in the bind port. Also, make sure the flight battery and transmitter battery are adequately charged, replacing or recharging them if necessary. 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 button until the receiver is bound.

Why is flight time reduced on my Horizon Hobby Aircrafts?
- S
  Sarah SnyderAug 19, 2025
  If you're experiencing reduced flight time or your Horizon Hobby Aircrafts feels underpowered, consider these potential causes. Ensure your flight battery is fully charged. Check that the propeller is installed correctly with the numbers facing forward. A damaged flight battery can also cause this issue, so replace it if necessary and follow the battery instructions. Cold flight conditions can affect battery performance, so ensure the battery is warm before use. Finally, the battery capacity might be too low for the flight conditions; consider replacing it with a larger capacity battery.

What causes a control surface to not move on Horizon Hobby Aircrafts?
- P
  Peter GonzalezAug 31, 2025
  If a control surface on your Horizon Hobby Aircrafts does not move, it could be due to several reasons. Check for damage to the control surface, control horn, linkage, or servo, and replace or repair any damaged parts, adjusting the controls as needed. Inspect the wiring and connections for damage or looseness, connecting or replacing as necessary. Ensure the transmitter is bound correctly or that the correct airplane is selected in the transmitter. Make sure the flight battery is fully recharged. Lastly, the BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) of the ESC might be damaged, requiring you to replace the ESC.

Why does motor power pulse and then lose power in Horizon Hobby Aircrafts?
- J
  John BennettSep 4, 2025
  If the motor power pulses and then loses power in your Horizon Hobby Aircrafts, it could be due to the ESC using the default soft Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Recharge the flight battery or replace it if it's no longer performing well. Weather conditions might be too cold, so postpone the flight until it's warmer. The battery could also be old, worn out, or damaged, requiring replacement. Finally, the battery C rating might be too low, so use the recommended battery.
