Troubleshooting Guide

Problem
Aircraft will not respond to
throttle but responds to other
controls
Extra noise or extra vibration
during throttle operation
Reduced fl ight time or aircraft
underpowered
Aircraft will not connect
(during binding) to transmitter
Aircraft will not connect
(after binding) to transmitter
Control surface does not move
Controls reversed
Motor power pulses then
motor loses power
12
Possible Cause
Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high
Throttle servo travel is lower than 100%
Throttle channel is reversed
Motor disconnected from ESC
Damaged rotor, collet or motor
Rotor is out of balance
Rotor nut is too loose
Flight battery charge is low
Flight battery damaged
Flight conditions may be too cold
Battery capacity too low for flight conditions
Transmitter too near aircraft during binding process
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal object, wire-
less source or another transmitter
The bind plug is not installed correctly in the bind port
Flight battery/transmitter battery charge is too low
Bind switch or button not held long enough during bind pro-
cess
Transmitter too near aircraft during connecting process
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal object, wire-
less source or another transmitter
Bind plug left installed in bind port
Aircraft bound to different model memory
TM
(ModelMatch radios only)
Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge is too low
Transmitter may have been bound to a different aircraft using
different DSM protocol
Control surface, control horn, linkage or servo damage
Wire damaged or connections loose
Transmitter is not bound correctly or the incorrect airplanes was
selected
Flight battery charge is low
BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) of the ESC is damaged
Transmitter settings are reversed
ESC uses default soft Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Weather conditions might be too cold
Battery is old, worn out, or damaged
Battery C rating might be too small
Solution
Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting
Make sure throttle servo travel is 100% or greater
Reverse throttle channel on transmitter
Make sure motor is connected to the ESC
Replace damaged parts
Balance or replace rotor
Tighten the rotor nut
Completely recharge fl ight battery
Replace fl ight battery and follow fl ight battery instructions
Make sure battery is warm before use
Replace battery or use a larger capacity battery
Move powered transmitter a few feet from aircraft, disconnect and
reconnect fl ight battery to aircraft
Move aircraft and transmitter to another location
and attempt binding again
Install bind plug in bind port and bind the aircraft to the transmitter
Replace/recharge batteries
Power off transmitter and repeat bind process. Hold transmitter bind
button or switch until receiver is bound
Move powered transmitter a few feet from aircraft, disconnect and
reconnect fl ight battery to aircraft
Move aircraft and transmitter to another location and attempt con-
necting again
Rebind transmitter to the aircraft and remove the bind plug before
cycling power
Select correct model memory on transmitter
Replace/recharge batteries
Bind aircraft to transmitter
Replace or repair damaged parts and adjust controls
Do a check of wires and connections, connect or replace as needed
Re-bind or select correct airplanes in transmitter
Fully recharge fl ight battery
Replace ESC
Perform the Control Direction Test and adjust the controls on the
transmitter appropriately
Recharge fl ight battery or replace battery that is no longer performing
Postpone flight until weather is warmer
Replace battery
Use recommended battery
