| Q. Servos and everything are working but the motors aren't? |
A. Most modern receivers have a throttle cut mechanism built in to prevent it from flying off. The throttle stick must be fully down and the trim beside it as well. If your heli has a flight mode switch it must be set to normal (whilst heli is off).

| Q. My helicopter is vibrating when I power up? |
A. Your blades are too tight -loosen them. Your fly bar must also be flat and balanced.

| Q. Why can't I hover the helicopter? |
A. Because you are useless and should have never taken up the hobby.
No I'm only joking, learning to hover is difficult and will take practice - but that's the appeal! If it was easy it would be no fun and there would be no rc helicopter community.
Tip: flight sim, counter blades helicopter, use training kit, read forums and start a blog to progress your hobby.

| Q. I have a Walkera radio transmitter, what are all the switches? |
A. First read the manual first. But briefly if you have a 4 channel Walkera the switches do nothing - they are just produced this way so that they can use the same radio mould for each helicopter. 6 channel helicopters are different the switches perform operations -do not alter them unless you know what you are doing.
