Problem
Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high
Aircraft will not re-
Throttle servo travel is lower than 100%
spond to throttle but
responds to other
Throttle channel is reversed
controls
Motor disconnected from ESC
Damaged propeller and spinner, collet or motor
Propeller is out of balance
Extra propeller noise
or extra vibration
Prop nut is too loose
Spinner is not tight or fully seated in place
Flight battery charge is low
Propeller installed backwards
Reduced fl ight time
or aircraft under-
Flight battery damaged
powered
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, wireless source or another transmitter
Aircraft will not Bind

Flight battery/transmitter battery charge is too low
Bind switch or button not held long enough during
bind process
Transmitter too near aircraft during connecting
process
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal
object, wireless source or another transmitter
Aircraft will not
Bind plug left installed in bind port

binding) to
Aircraft bound to different model memory

Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge is too low
Transmitter may have been bound to a different air-
craft using different DSM protocol
Control surface, control horn, linkage or servo
damage
Wire damaged or connections loose
Control surface does Transmitter is not bound correctly or the incorrect
not move airplanes was selected
Flight battery charge is low
BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) of the ESC is
damaged
Controls reversed Transmitter settings are reversed
ESC uses default soft Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Motor power pulses
Weather conditions might be too cold
then motor loses
Battery is old, worn out, or damaged
power
Battery C rating might be too small
Possible Cause
TM radios only)
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 propeller
Tighten the prop nut
Tighten the spinner or remove the spinner and turn it 180 degrees
Completely recharge fl ight battery
Install propeller with numbers facing forward
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
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 connecting 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 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
