Why Spektrum Remote Control receiver quits responding during operation?
If your Spektrum Remote Control receiver quits responding during operation, it's likely due to low battery voltage. Completely recharge the flight battery. Another potential cause is loose or damaged wires or connectors between the battery and receiver. Check these wires and connections, and repair or replace them as needed.
Why Spektrum Remote Control receiver loses its bind?
If the Spektrum Remote Control receiver loses its bind, it could be because the transmitter stand or tray is pressing the bind button. If this is happening, remove the transmitter from the stand and rebind it. Another possibility is that the bind button was pressed before the transmitter was powered on. In this case, rebind by following the binding instructions.
How to fix flight log registers undesirable number of fades, losses or holds or aircraft responds irregularly to controls with Spektrum Remote Control?
If the Spektrum Remote Control flight log registers an undesirable number of fades, losses, or holds, or if the aircraft responds irregularly to controls, it could be due to poor signal reception. Try repositioning the remote receivers to improve RF signal path diversity. Electronic feedback from servos or motor systems to the ESC or receiver could also be the cause; check for and stop any such feedback. Low power is another potential issue; check the aircraft's power draw and increase battery power, or decrease the power demand by installed systems. Ensure all aircraft batteries are fully charged and that the installed BEC for an electric aircraft is adequate for the power demand.
