Troubleshooting Guide

Problem
Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high
Aircraft will
not respond
Throttle servo travel is lower than 100%
to throttle but
Throttle channel is reversed
responds to other
controls
Motor disconnected from ESC
Damaged rotor, nose cone, collet or motor
Excessive
rotor noise
Rotor is out of balance
or Excessive
Rotor cone screw is too loose
vibration
Flight battery charge is low
Reduced fl ight
Flight battery damaged

Transmitter too near aircraft during binding process
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal

Possible Cause
Replace rotor or nose cone
Balance the rotor
Replace parts or correctly align fan unit or other parts and tighten fasteners as needed
Align and secure receiver in fuselage
Tighten or otherwise secure parts (servo, arm, linkage, horn and control surface)
Replace worn parts (especially rotor, nose cone, or servo)
Replace servo
If you adjust trim more than 8 clicks, adjust the ball link to remove trim
No Sub-Trim is allowed. Adjust the servo linkage
With the throttle stick in lowest position. Disconnect battery, then reconnect battery and keep
the aircraft still for 5 seconds
DO NOT fl y. Correct the direction settings (refer to the receiver manual), then fl y
Possible Cause

radios only)
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 cone screw
Completely recharge fl ight battery
Replace fl ight battery and follow fl ight battery instructions
Make sure battery is not cold before use (Do not apply heat to the battery)
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
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
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
