Control Airplane Mustang
P-51D Mustang Remote Controlled Airplane Help?
I have a P-51D Mustang Remote Controlled Airplane, and I'm trying to test the controls. I did everything exactly as said, and my plane still has no response! I installed the batteries to the Transmitter, and charged and installed the flight battery to the fuselage. Still no response. Then, I tried binding the transmitter, exactly as noted. STILL NO RESPONSE! It's infuriating! What do you think I should do?
You didn't mention the brand, so it's hard to answer in detail. The link covers somebody's experiences with the Parkzone model. In general terms, it is a good idea to test each component in isolation. If you have other radio-control gear, or a friend has, then test each servo, and your battery, on the other setup. You are most likely to find the fault in the speed controller or receiver, however. Does your speed controller have an off-switch? Check that. Try substituting another speed controller in and see how it goes. To check the receiver, put another receiver in its place. It doesn't have to be a 2.4Ghz one like the bind-n-fly receiver; any frequency type will do, as long as it can connect to your servos and speed controller, and you have a transmitter for it.
