Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Flyet reagerer ikke på senderen. | Transmitter not bound, low battery in transmitter or aircraft, receiver not powered. | Ensure transmitter is on and charged. Re-bind transmitter to receiver. Check aircraft battery connection and charge level. Verify receiver is receiving power. |
| Landing gear does not extend/retract properly. | Obstruction, damaged servo/retract mechanism, loose connection. | Inspect for debris or damage. Check servo connections. If issues persist, consult the manufacturer's support or a qualified hobby technician. |
| Loss of control or erratic flight. | Interference, incorrect control surface setup, damaged components. | Fly in an open area away from interference. Re-check control surface directions and throws. Inspect for physical damage to wings, tail, or control linkages. |
