Hi all!
I am new to flying. When I first unpacked and mounted my F27B, I connected the battery en tested it without charging. It worked perfectly!
But, of course; after a few minutes the battery was empty, and I charged it.
When connecting the battery again, the flaps goes into position and so, but there is no response when using the throttle-control or the flaps-control.
I read in the manual that there is something called throttle-arming feature.. What is this? I have tried turning on the remote and setting the throttle to "off", and then connecting the battery to the aircraft. But still the same.
What happened?
I apprectiate all help and thoughts. Thank you very much!

My guess would be, that you need to unplug the battery, then make sure that your throttle is in the full down position. Then, plugging in the battery, wait for all the beeps, before touching anything. You might have to put the throttle stick full up, then all the way back down to "tell" the reciever how much throttle is available.

Thanks, FlyingMonkey.
But there is no beeps, and never was..? I have tried to have it in full down position while plugging in the battery.. Nothing happens...
What is throttle-arming feature?
I can't understand why it worked yesterday before charging...

The throttle arming on the stryker B means that after plugging in the battery, you must advance the throttle to maximum, then all the way back down before it will work.
If this is your first plane I reccomend you use a simulator before you even think of flying. The stryker is NOT a beginners plane.
