battery to aircraft

Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal
object, wireless source or another transmitter

Move aircraft and transmitter to another location and attempt connecting again

Bind plug left installed in bind port

Rebind transmitter to the aircraft and remove the bind plug before cycling power

Aircraft bound to different model memory
(ModelMatchTM radios only)

Select correct model memory on transmitter

Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge is too low

Replace/recharge batteries

Transmitter may have been bound to a different 
aircraft using different DSM protocol

Bind aircraft to transmitter

Control surface does 
not move

Control surface, control horn, linkage or servo damage

Replace or repair damaged parts and adjust controls

Wire damaged or connections loose

Do a check of wires and connections, connect or replace as needed

Transmitter is not bound correctly or the incorrect 
airplanes was selected

Re-bind or select correct airplanes in transmitter

Flight battery charge is low

Fully recharge fl ight battery

BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) of the ESC is damaged

Replace ESC

Controls reversed

Transmitter settings are reversed

Perform the Control Direction Test and adjust the controls on transmitter appropriately

Motor power pulses 
then motor loses 
power

ESC uses default soft Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

Recharge fl ight battery or replace battery that is no longer performing

Weather conditions might be too cold

Postpone fl ight until weather is warmer

Battery is old, worn out, or damaged

Replace battery

Battery C rating might be too small
