Walkera Power Keeps Dying

[tonyastro]

Hi,

I got a Walkera 52 yesterday and I can't power up my heli (http://www.rcuniverse.com/buynow/keywordclick.cfm?bid_id=4726) consistently. Sometimes it decides to work but most of the time it's dead. The battery's fully charged but no power light or any motion from the heli when I use the control. Help pls.

Does the Transmitter have an Throttle Hold switch? On your transmitter, you might have a crystal ( has the frequency stamped on it ) - you might need to reseat them. There should also be one on the receiver. Ensure all connections on the receiver are firmly plugged in- they can come loose easily enough- even in transit.

Idle Up switch- some transmitters WILL NOT start talking with the receiver if the transmitter is in IDLE up - as it is a relatively dangerous position to establish the link with. Check all of your switches to be sure that it is in normal flight mode.
