Problem Possible Cause Solution
• Aircraft will not respond to throttle
but responds to other controls
• Throttle not at idle at control setup so
throttle not armed
• Throttle channel is reversed
• Reset controls with throttle stick and
throttle trim at lowest setting.
• Reverse throttle channel on transmitter
• Extra propeller noise or extra
vibration
• Damaged spinner, propeller, motor or
motor mount
• Loose propeller and spinner parts
• Propeller installed backwards
• Replace damaged parts
• Tighten parts for propeller adapter,
propeller and spinner
• Remove and install propeller correctly
• Reduced flight time or aircraft
underpowered
• Flight battery charge is low
• Propeller installed backwards
• Flight battery damaged
• Completely recharge flight battery
• Remove and install propeller correctly
• Replace flight battery and obey flight
battery instructions
• LED on receiver flashes and aircraft
cannot be controlled by transmitter
• Less than a five (5) second wait after
powering transmitter and before
connecting flight battery to aircraft
• Transmitter too close to aircraft
• Transmitter bound to another aircraft
• Batteries in transmitter low
• Disconnect then connect flight battery
to aircraft
• Move powered transmitter a few feet
from aircraft, disconnect and connect
flight battery to aircraft
• Bind transmitter to aircraft receiver
• Replace transmitter batteries
• Control surface does not move, or is
slow to respond to control inputs.
• Control surface, control horn, linkage
or servo damage
• Wire damaged or connections loose
• Parts not secured in fuselage
• Replace or repair damaged parts and
adjust controls
• Do a check of wires and connections,
connect or replace as needed
• Make hook and loop fastenings tight
so no parts move in fuselage
• Controls reversed • Transmitter not set up before binding
to aircraft
• Do the Control Direction Test and
adjust controls for aircraft and
transmitter
• Motor loses power
• Motor power pulses then motor loses
power
• Damage to motor, or power supply
• Loss of power to aircraft.
• ESC uses default soft Low Voltage
Cutoff (LVC)
• Do a check of batteries, transmitter,
receiver, ESC, motor and wiring for
damage (replace as needed)
