Problem Possible Cause Solution
Aircraft will not re-
spond 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
Motor disconnected from ESC Make sure motor is connected to the ESC
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
Prop nut is too loose Tighten the prop nut
Spinner is not tight or fully seated in place Tighten the spinner or remove the spinner and turn it 180 degrees.
Reduced fl ight time
or aircraft under-
powered 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 too low for flight conditions Replace battery or use a larger capacity battery
Aircraft will not Bind
(during 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 or transmitter is too close to large metal ob-
ject, wireless source or another transmitter Move aircraft and transmitter to another location and attempt binding again
The bind plug is not installed correctly in the bind port Install bind plug in bind port and bind the aircraft to the transmitter
Flight battery/transmitter battery charge is too low Replace/recharge batteries
Bind switch or button not held long enough during
bind process Power off transmitter and repeat bind process. Hold transmitter bind
button or switch until receiver is bound
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Oscillation Flying over recommended
airspeed Reduce air speed
Damaged propeller or spinner Replace propeller or spinner
Imbalanced propeller Balance the propeller. For more information, view John Redman’s propeller balancing video at www.

Flight condition variations Adjust gain to current fl ight conditions (wind, updrafts, local conditions (elevation, humidity, temperature,
etc.))
Motor vibration Replace parts or correctly align all parts and tighten fasteners as needed
Loose receiver Align and secure receiver in fuselage
Loose aircraft controls Tighten or otherwise secure parts (servo, arm, linkage, horn and control surface)
Worn parts Adjust gain to compensate for parts wear or replace worn parts (especially propeller, pivot points or servo)
Irregular servo rotation Replace servo
Incorrect transmitter type (com-
puterized or non-computerized)
assigned in receiver Assign correct transmitter type in the receiver (refer to receiver manual)
If oscillation persists .... Decrease gain (refer to receiver manual)
Trim change
when fl ight
mode is switched Trim is not at neutral If you adjust trim more than 8 clicks, adjust the clevis to remove trim
Sub-Trim is not at neutral No Sub-Trim is allowed. Adjust the servo arm or the clevis
Incorrect
response to the
AS3X Control
Direction Test. Incorrect direction settings in
the receiver, which can cause
a crash DO NOT fl y. Correct the direction settings (refer to the receiver manual), then fl y.
