Troubleshooting Guide

Troubleshooting Guide

Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

Aircraft will not 

“throttle up” but 

all other controls 

seem to function.  

•  User did not lower 

throttle trim and throttle 

stick prior to initializing 

the aircraft.

•  Throttle channel is 

reversed. 

Note:

 Futaba 

transmitters (equipped 

with Spektrum  

modules) may require 

you to reverse the 

throttle channel.

•  Lower throttle stick and throttle 

trim to their lowest settings.

•  Reverse throttle channel on 

 

specific transmitter if applicable.

Upper rotor head/

hub is broken.

• Crash damage

•  Replace with EFLH2212 by 

 

carefully removing the (2) 

screws in the lower main gear 

and transferring all unbroken 

parts to the new upper rotor 

head/hub.  Follow the “Exploded 

View” section of the manual.  

Pages 30–31

Aircraft appears 

to show significant 

decrease in flight 

time.

•  Flight battery is not fully 

charged.

•  AA batteries in charger 

have inadequate power.

•  EFLB1101S battery has 

been over-discharged 

multiple times, causing 

damage to battery life.

•  Recharge flight battery 

 

completely.

•  Replace AA batteries in the 

 

charger and recharge flight  

battery completely.

•  Replace EFLB1101S battery 

and read “Battery Warnings and 

Guidelines” section of manual. 

Page 7

Charger light stays 

on after Li-Po  

battery is  

disconnected or 

remains on for 

longer than 40 

minutes when 

charging.

•  AA batteries in the 

 

charger have  

inadequate power.

•  Replace AA batteries in 

 

the charger.

Aircraft hovers 

with a “toilet bowl” 

effect type circle 

on its own.

•  Binding in the upper 

rotor head.

• Damaged rotor blades

•  Loosen upper rotor hub fly bar 

retaining screw.

• Replace rotor blades.

Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

LED on Aircraft 

remains  

flashing and  

cannot be  

controlled by 

transmitter.

•  User did not wait at 

least 5 seconds after 

powering their  

transmitter prior to  

connecting the flight 

battery to the Aircraft.

•  User bound the Aircraft 

to a different  

transmitter.

•  Transmitter was too 

close to Aircraft during 

the initialization  

process.

•  Unplug, then reconnect flight 

 

battery.

•  Rebind Aircraft to your desired 

compatible transmitter.

  

Page 27

•  Move transmitter (powered on) a 

few feet from the Aircraft  

prior to reconnecting the flight 

battery.

Aircraft appears to 

drift towards a  

certain direction.

•  User did not re-trim the 

aircraft.

•  Read “Understanding the 

Primary Flight Controls” section 

of this manual. 

Pages 20–23

Controls appear to 

be reversed after 

binding to a differ-

ent transmitter.

•  User did not initially 

set up their transmitter 

prior to binding to the 

Aircraft.

•  Read “Control Test” section of 

this manual.  

Pages 14–16

Aircraft constantly 

spins on its own.

•  User did not CENTER 

the rudder trim on the 

transmitter prior to  

initialization of aircraft.

•  User moved or swayed 

the aircraft during the 

initialization process.

•  User has not trimmed 

the aircraft to compen-

sate for battery voltage 

drop during flight.

•  Upper main gear is 

binding with lower main 

gear.

•  Center the rudder trim on your 

transmitter and re-initialize the 

aircraft.

•  Unplug, then reconnect the flight 

battery and DO NOT move or 

sway the helicopter during  

initialization.

•  Read “Understanding Primary 

Controls” section of this manual. 

Pages 20–23

•  Loosen (2) screws on the lower 

main gear and ensure there 

is slight “play” in between the 

upper and lower main gears. 

Lube between the upper and 

lower main gears if applicable.

Aircraft does not  

function after  

connecting flight  

battery and air-

craft smells burnt.

•  User may have 

 

accidentally plugged 

the flight battery in the 

wrong polarity.

•  Replace 5-in-1 board 

(EFLH1065) and ensure the RED 

polarity marks are facing the 

same direction when connecting 

the flight battery to the 5-in-1 

board.
