Possible Cause
Replace propeller or spinner
Balance the propeller.
Replace parts or correctly align all parts and tighten fasteners as needed
Align and secure receiver in fuselage
Tighten or otherwise secure parts (servo, arm, linkage, horn and control surface)
Replace worn parts (especially propeller, spinner or servo)
Replace servo
If you adjust trim more than 8 clicks, adjust the clevis to remove trim
No Sub-Trim is allowed. Adjust the servo linkage
With the throttle stick in lowest position. Disconnect battery, then reconnect battery and keep the
aircraft still for 5 seconds
DO NOT fly. Correct the direction settings (refer to the receiver manual), then fly
Possible Cause
Solution
Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting
Make sure throttle servo travel is 100% or greater
Reverse throttle channel on transmitter
Make sure motor is connected to the ESC
Replace damaged parts
Balance or replace propeller
Tighten the prop nut
Completely recharge flight battery
Install propeller with numbers facing forward
Replace flight battery and follow flight battery instructions
Make sure battery is warm before use
Replace battery or use a larger capacity battery
Raise tail wheel to make the fuselage close to level and hold steady until aircraft
enters bind mode or initializes.
Move powered transmitter a few feet from aircraft, disconnect and reconnect
flight battery to aircraft
Move aircraft and transmitter to another location and attempt binding again
Install bind plug in bind port and bind the aircraft to the transmitter
Replace/recharge batteries
Power off transmitter and repeat bind process. Hold transmitter bind
button or switch until receiver is bound
Change any two of the wires to the motor. Or use Forward programming to change
direction of motor.
