Problem

Possible Cause 

Solution

Aircraft will 
not respond to 
throttle but re-
sponds 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 set up 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 backwards

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 fl ight conditions

Replace battery or use a larger capacity battery

Aircraft will not 
Bind (during 
binding) to trans-
mitter

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

Bind pins on receiver are not correctly 
connected

Connect receiver bind pins as instructed and 
bind transmitter to receiver

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 link (after 
binding) to trans-
mitter

Transmitter too close to aircraft during linking 
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 (Model-
Match™ radios only)

Select correct model memory on transmitter

Transmitter may have been bound  using different 
DSM protocol

Bind aircraft to transmitter

Bind pins on receiver are connected

Ensure bind pins on receiver are not connected

Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal 
object, wireless source or another transmitter

Move aircraft and transmitter to another loca-
tion and attempt linking again

Control surface 
does not move

Control surface, control horn, linkage or 
servo damage

Replace or repair damaged parts and adjust 
controls

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 decreas-
es 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
