Problem Possible Cause Solution
Aircraft will not
respond to throttle
but responds to
other controls ESC did not arm because throttle stick and/or
throttle trim too high Lower throttle stick and throttle trim to
lowest setting
Throttle channel is reversed Reverse throttle channel on transmitter
Motor disconnected from ESC Make sure motor is connected to the ESC
Servo travel setup is less than 100% Adjust servo travel to 100% or slightly
greater
Extra propeller
noise or extra
vibration Damaged propeller, spinner or motor Replace damaged parts
Prop nut is too loose Tighten the prop nut
Prop is out of balance Remove and balance propeller, or replace
with a balanced propeller
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
underpowered Flight battery charge is low Completely recharge fl ight battery
Propeller installed incorrectly Install propeller properly
Flight battery damaged Replace fl ight battery and follow fl ight
battery instructions
Flight battery is too cold Make sure battery is warm before use
Battery capacity too low for power drawn Replace battery or use a larger capacity
battery
Aircraft will not
Bind (during
binding) to
transmitter Transmitter too near aircraft during binding
process Power off transmitter, move transmitter a
larger distance from aircraft, disconnect and
reconnect fl ight battery to aircraft and follow
binding instructions
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
Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge is too
low Replace/recharge batteries
The bind plug is not installed correctly in the
bind port Install bind plug in bind port and bind the
aircraft to the transmitter
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal
object, wireless source or another transmitter Move aircraft and transmitter to another
location and attempt binding again
Aircraft will not
connect (after
binding) to
transmitter Transmitter too close to aircraft during
connecting process Power off transmitter, move transmitter a
larger distance from aircraft, disconnect and
reconnect fl ight battery to aircraft
Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge is too
low Replace/recharge batteries
Aircraft bound to different model memory
(ModelMatch™ radios only) Select correct model memory on transmitter
Transmitter may have been bound to a different
aircraft using different DSM protocol Bind aircraft to transmitter
Bind plug left installed in bind port Rebind transmitter to the aircraft and
remove the bind plug before cycling power
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal
object, wireless source or another transmitter Move aircraft and transmitter to another
location and attempt connecting again
Control surface
does not move Control surface, control horn, linkage or
servo damage Replace or repair damaged parts and adjust
controls
Servo wire damaged or connections loose Do a check of wires and connections,
connect or replace as needed
Flight battery charge is low Fully recharge fl ight battery
Control linkage does not move freely Make sure control linkage moves freely
Controls reversed Transmitter settings reversed Adjust controls on transmitter appropriately
Motor power
quickly decreases
and increases then
motor loses power Battery voltage is down to the point of receiver/
ESC Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) Recharge fl ight battery or replace battery
that is no longer performing
