PROBLEM
Model or radio does not work
Possible cause
1. Transmitter battery is dead or installed incorrectly; a flashing LED on transmitter indicates this.
2. No electrical connection.
3. Flight battery not charged.
Solution
1. Check installation or replace with new batteries.
2. Check battery connections or installation.
3. Charge the planes flight battery fully.

PROBLEM
Motor will not run.
Possible cause
1. Battery not charged.
2. The plane has not been ”armed” properly.
Solution
1. Recharge the battery.
2. You have to “arm” the motor by pulling the throttle (left) stick back first.

PROBLEM
Aircraft keeps turning in one direction.
Possible cause
1. Tail flaps need adjusting.
2. Wing is not centred over the fuselage.
3. Decals may be lifting up on wing, causing drag on one side.
Solution
1. Adjust stick trim lever or adjust tail flap position.
2. Centre the wing before each flight.
3. Tape or press down decals.

PROBLEM
Aircraft is difficult to control.
Possible cause
1. Tail flaps aren’t adjusted properly.
2. Wing or tail is damaged.
Solution
1. Adjust tail flaps or the angle of the tail (angle that tail sits on fuselage)
2. Repair or replace.

PROBLEM
Aircraft keeps pitching up steeply.
Possible cause
1. Tail incidence needs adjustment (angle that tail sits on fuselage)
2. Wind is too gusty or strong.
Solution
1. Adjust tail plane mounting screws.
2. Postpone flying until wind has calmed down.

PROBLEM
Aircraft won’t climb or gain altitude.
Possible cause
1. Battery is not fully charged.
2. Tail needs adjustment.
Solution
1. Charge battery before flying.
2. Adjust tail screws.

PROBLEM
Motor shuts off after short flight in cold weather.
Possible cause
Battery is cold, or stored in a cold location, batteries loose efficiency in cold climates.
Solution
Always use the battery as soon as it’s charged, when it is warm for best results.

PROBLEM
Aircraft will not take of from the ground.
Solutions
1. HobbyZone planes are best suited to be HAND launched into wind.
2. Smooth tarmac runways are best suited.
3. Long grass runways can have too much resistance.

PROBLEM
The engine keeps coming on, even though the transmitter is off.
Solution
You should always disconnect the battery when you have finished flying. This will prevent the engine from automatically coming on upon turning off the transmitter, and prevent outside signals from interfering with the plane.

PROBLEM
Motor not working but other control surfaces are working.
Possible Cause
When the battery gets low it shuts off power to the motor and leaves power only to the controls surfaces so you still have a steering control, and can land the model.
Solution
Once the model has landed simply recharge the battery and fly again.

PROBLEM
Prop hits the wing.
Solution
Heavy landings or landing on a wing tip can cause the wing to twist on the model which may become damaged by the prop. Always try to land with the throttle off.
