recieved my parcel guys , put everything together up, went to the field, it was very wind so thought of waiting , kept my plane on the bonnet of my jeep and went near the door to get the tx, then when i saw the bonnet again there was no plane wtf!, as the strong gust of wind tossed my pane to the ground.

minor crack on elevator . so glued it up but dint fly coz too windy,
went near my house balcony to do a glide test 1st one went fine ,
on second try i gave a bit of throttle so it was about to fly away so i pushed on the elevator to bring it down and on impact the nose hit the ground, no breakage to the model everything was fine, but the reciever was no longer responding to the tx, maybe the bind was broken, but i tried to bind it , its still not able to bind All i can get however is a flashing light on the rx. It doesn't seem to respond to be pressing the bind button on the Tx.
my radio is this http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__9042__Hobby_King_2_4Ghz_6Ch_Tx_Rx_V2_Mode_2_.html
I have had a look at a few videos on youtube regarding binding this system and their led on the rx seems to flash much slower than mine before becoming constant.

Mine flashes very fast and does nothing else.

Two controls for throttle ?  Guess one of them have to be elevator !

Wow, this would be something! I've never seen an airplane being flown by a surface radio!

Hi dhaksha! Sad to hear about that Rx. Let me suggest you, check if you have inserted the ESC's 3wire pin in correct polarity. The correct way is to insert that small connector in such a manner that the white wire comes towards the labels (Ch1, Ch2, Ch3 ----- Bat). I once had the same problem and I noticed the cause. Also check if this connector is in channel 3 (If you are not using any external BEC). Try it. And I hope you fly soon.

Thanks.

@anwar nd swapnil , ya im using a 3ch pistol grip radio, turning wheel >> rudder || trigger >> elevator || auxxilary toggle switch >> throttle // sry for mistype

@sumeet i checked all that bro but no sign of solution only :( i even cross checked with another esc and battery but no use , main problems with the tx or rx only.

dhaksha...

your dihedral is too much..it will reduce lift to a great extent..the dihedral must be between 3 to 5 degrees..
rest everything is fine..just correct the dihedral and you are ready to go..

thanks..
