TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Problem: Possible Cause: Solution:
Short range Collapsed Tx antenna Fully extend the Tx antenna
Interference Check frequencies in area, check Rx installation
Rx antenna poorly routed Re-route Rx antenna
Low Tx or Rx battery Charge batteries for 15 hours prior to use
Rx or Tx out of tune Send radio to Hobby Services for tuning
Severed Rx antenna Send radio to Hobby Services for repair
Crash damage Send radio to Hobby Services for repair
Short run-time Low Tx or Rx batteries Charge batteries for 15 hours prior to use
Batteries need to be cycled See Before Installation on page 3
Binding servos causing Free binding components in pushrods or moving
excess battery drain surfaces, see model’s manual
Too many servos for the Additional servos cause quicker battery drain.
Rx pack used. Use a Rx battery pack with a higher mAh rating.
Tx meter low Tx batteries need charged Charge Tx batteries for 15 hours
Tx meter beyond Rx batteries need charged Charge Rx batteries for 15 hours
red zone but servos
Rx switch in off position Turn on switch harness
do not function
Switch harness connected See quick reference guide on page 4
incorrectly
Interference Another Tx is on your channel Do not operate your system until other
or servos
system is not in use
glitching
Outside interference Check your local R/C club for conformation
(Pagers, transmission towers) of dangerous frequencies in your area
One glitching servo Bad servo Send servo to Hobby Services for repair
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PAGE 7
• Never fly if someone else is using your frequency (see The Transmitter section on page 2).
• Never fly during adverse weather conditions or at night.
• Always fully extend the transmitter and receiver antennas for maximum range.
• Check with your local R/C flying field to find out if there are any frequencies deemed dangerous due to
interference caused by local pagers, transmission towers, etc. Do not operate on any of these channels.
• Perform a range check prior to every flight (see the Receiver, Switch Harness and Receiver Battery sec-
tion on page 4).
• Charge the Tx and Rx batteries overnight before use (see the Before Installation section on page 3).
• Periodically cycle the Tx and Rx batteries to maximize charge capacity and run time (see the Before
Installation section on page 3).
• Be certain your aircraft is balanced as noted in your model's manual.
• Never use more control surface movement than noted in your model's manual.
