Problem Possible Cause Solution
Aircraft will not respond
to throttle but responds to
other controls
Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim
at lowest setting
Throttle servo travel is lower than 100% Make sure throttle servo travel is 100% or greater
Throttle channel is reversed Reverse throttle channel on transmitter
Extra propeller noise or
extra vibration
Damaged propeller and spinner, collet or motor Replace damaged parts
Propeller is out of balance Balance or replace propeller
Reduced fl ight time or air-
craft underpowered
Flight battery charge is low Completely recharge fl ight battery
Propeller installed backwards Install propeller with numbers facing forward
Flight battery damaged Replace fl ight battery and follow fl ight battery instructions
Flight conditions may be too cold Make sure battery is warm before use
Battery capacity may be low for fl ight conditions Replace battery or use a larger capacity battery
Aircraft will not Bind (dur-
ing binding) to transmitter
Transmitter too near aircraft during binding process Move powered transmitter a few feet from aircraft,
disconnect and reconnect fl ight battery to aircraft
Aircraft will not bind to transmitter Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal object
Bind plug is not installed correctly in bind port extension Install bind plug in bind port extension and bind
aircraft to transmitter
Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge is too low Replace/recharge batteries
Aircraft will not link (after
binding) to transmitter
Transmitter too near aircraft during linking process Move powered transmitter a few feet from aircraft,
disconnect and reconnect fl ight battery to aircraft
Aircraft will not bind to transmitter Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal object
Bind plug left installed in bind port extension Remove bind plug before cycling power
Aircraft bound to different model memory (ModelMatch
TM
radios only)
Select correct model memory on transmitter
Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge is too low Replace/recharge batteries
Transmitter may have been bound to a different model (using
different DSM Protocol)
Bind aircraft to transmitter
Control surface does not
move
Control surface, control horn, linkage or servo damage Replace or repair damaged parts and adjust controls
Wire damaged or connections loose Do a check of wires and connections, connect
or replace as needed
Transmitter not bound correctly or incorrect model selected Re-bind or select correct model in transmitter
Control trim out of adjustment Adjust trims to restore full control
Controls reversed Transmitter settings reversed Do the Control Direction Test and adjust controls on
transmitter appropriately
Motor loses power Damage to motor, propeller shaft or power components Do a check of batteries, transmitter, receiver, motor and
wiring for damage (replace as needed)
Motor power pulses then
motor loses power
ESC uses default soft Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) Recharge fl ight battery or replace battery
that is no longer performing
Weather conditions might be too cold Postpone flight until weather is warmer
Battery C rating might be too small Use recommended battery
