Troubleshooting

Why does my EEW vibrate at higher speeds?

The most common cause is your flyer isn’t balanced. To fix this 

make sure the two sliding hooks you aren’t using are directly across 
from the two you are using. Also make sure that one set of hooks is  
facing upwards and one set facing downwards so the weight is 
distributed evenly on the flyer. This only matters at higher speeds.
Why won’t my EEW start?

First try flipping the USB switch and see if that helps.  If not try 

removing it completely since it is optional and then double check all 
the connections.
