Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

Aircraft will not respond to throttle but 

responds to other controls

AutoLand was not deactivated after landing

Deactivate AutoLand by pressing the AL/HP button or 

changing flight modes and lower throttle

Home location has not been set

Set the home location

Direction of Airfield fence has not been set

Use aileron command to set the fence location

Ailerons go up aircraft will not bind to 

transmitter (during binding)

Transmitter too near aircraft during binding process

Power off transmitter, move transmitter a larger distance 

from aircraft, disconnect and reconnect flight 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

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 was not placed upright

Place aircraft upright after powering up

Ailerons go up and aircraft will not 

respond to transmitter (after binding)

Less than a 90-second wait between first powering on 

transmitter and connecting flight battery to aircraft

Leaving transmitter on, disconnect and reconnect flight 

battery to aircraft

 Aircraft was not upright, level or motionless

Leaving transmitter on, disconnect and reconnect flight 

battery to aircraft assuring that the aircraft is upright, 

level and motionless

Aircraft cannot acquire a GPS signal

Turn off GPS
Move to an outdoor location away from metal or 

concrete and try again

Aux1 (CH 6) reversed

Reverse Aux1

Aircraft will not enter compass 

calibration

Aircraft cannot acquire a GPS signal

Move to an outdoor location away from metal or 

concrete and try again

Motor does not respond after landing

Over Current Protection (OCP) stops the motor when the 

transmitter throttle is set high and the propeller cannot turn

Fully lower throttle and throttle trim to arm ESC

AutoLand has not been deactivated

Press and release HP/AL button to deactivate AutoLand 

feature

Motor pulses but battery is fully 

charged, not an LVC motor pulse

Lost GPS Signal

Turn off the GPS functions
Try flying at a different location

Aircraft does not land on heading set 

on initial takeoff

Compass is out of calibration

Calibrate the compass using the “Compass Calibration 

Procedure” located in this manual

GPS Function not operating properly

The compass has been exposed to a magnetic source

Deactivate GPS system while in flight and land the 

aircraft. Remove any possible magnetic sources such 

as cameras, camera mounts, speakers ect. Unplug and 

reconnect flight battery to reactivate GPS system for next 

flight. Perform compass calibration before flying again.

Virtual Fence modes will not change 

between modes correctly

Dual rates set incorrectly in transmitter setup

The dual rates should not be set lower than 70% for low 

rate. Set all low rates to 70% or higher.
