Are you getting the "ok" beep tone after you plug the battery in. If you aren't, then your battery may be dead. Have you checked the battery to make sure it is charged? Just because the charger says it is charged doesn't mean it really is. Check the main leads with a meter. If it is a 3 cell lipo, you need to have at least 10 volts to be able to power up the bird, and that's still almost dead, fully charged will be 12.5 to 13 volts.

If the battery is fine and you are still not getting the "ok" beep after plugging in the battery, then the next thing to rule out is a stuck or broken servo. Disconnect the swash plate linkages and the tail rotor linkage and see if they move freely, also try moving the servo arms gently in each direction.

If one of the servos is jammed, forcing it to move by hand might finish off the gear in that servo, but you were going to have to fix it anyway.

Another thing to check is the main rotor gear, make sure the rotor blades spin freely and there are no missing teeth on the main gears or the motor pinion.

If all of these checks turn out ok, the next suspects are the gyro, esc, and rx. Check back with us here after you have checked all of the above and I or some one here will help you diagnose further.


By the way, where in TN are you?<br type="_moz" />
