The transmitter is on and the motor battery is connected,
but the servos do not respond
●
Be certain the motor battery and transmitter batteries are suffi ciently
charged.
●
The receiver may not be reading signals from the transmitter. Perform
the binding operation as described on page 5.
Range is short or the plane behaves erratically in fl ight
If, while fl ying, you notice that the model doesn’t seem to be responding to
your control inputs as expected, this may be an indication of poor operational
range or electrical interference. Perform the following checks:
●
If the servo wires are not fully connected in the receiver, interference
may result which can shorten operational range.
●
Be certain the motor battery and transmitter batteries are suffi ciently
charged.
●
Be certain the transmitter antenna is vertical.
●
Occasionally range can be affected if the receiver is too close to other
electrical components inside the model. Relocate the receiver to a
different location in the fuselage.
●
An extreme crash can damage the receiver even if it was well-protected
and appears to be in good condition. Send the receiver to Hobby
Services for repair if you suspect it has been damaged in a crash.
●
Occasionally, signals from pagers, strong industrial or other commercial
transmitters in the area can cause interference. Check with other pilots
at your fl ying site or in your area who may be able to verify known radio
problems, or fi nd another fl ying site.
One servo responds erratically (or not at all),
but the other servos are working fi ne
Occasionally, servos simply “wear out,” especially if the model has crashed.
If a servo fails, the best thing to do is simply replace it.
