Troubleshooting Guide AS3X

Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

Oscillation

Damaged propeller or 
spinner

Replace propeller or spinner

Imbalanced 
propeller 

Balance the propeller 

Motor vibration

Replace parts or correctly align 
propeller or other parts and 
tighten fasteners as needed

Loose receiver

Align and secure receiver in 
fuselage

Loose aircraft 
controls

Tighten or otherwise secure parts 
(servo, arm, linkage, horn and 
control surface)

Worn parts

Replace worn parts (especially 
propeller, spinner, or servo)

Irregular servo 
movement

Replace servo and/or servo 
extension(s)

Gain too high

Reduce Gain

Travel or Rates 
reduced causing 
reduced servo 
resolution

Move pushrod in on servo horn, 
or move pushrod out on control 
horn, and increase travel and/or 
rates. Use the full servo travel to 
achieve the desired throw.

Inconsistent 
flight 
performance

Trim changes after 
initial setup

If you adjust trim more than 
8 clicks, select Relearn Servo 
Settings in the Forward 
Programming menu after landing

Changes to Sub-
Trim after initial 
setup

If you need to trim the aircraft 
during test flights, select Relearn 
Servo Settings in the Forward 
Programming menu after landing

Aircraft was not 
kept immobile for 
5 seconds after 
battery connection

With the throttle stick in lowest 
position. Disconnect battery, then 
reconnect battery and keep the 
aircraft still for 5 seconds.

Incorrect 
response to the 
AS3X Control 
Direction Test

Incorrect direction 
settings in the 
receiver, which can 
cause a crash

DO NOT fly. Correct the direction 
settings, then fly.
