Megatech Night Flyer Problems

The Megatech Night Flyer model airplane was manufactured and sold in 2007. This radio-controller flyer is equipped with lights for flying the plane at night. The instruction manual for the airplane lists a few common problems and provides troubleshooting solutions.

Flight
- The plane's nose may dive during flight for a variety of reasons, including if the wings are not attached properly. Alternatively, the plane may not have been launched correctly; always launch the plane in an upward and outward motion while making sure the wings are level. The plane may sometimes stall after climbing, which is usually the result of applying too much throttle.
Power
- The Night Flyer runs on a 6-volt battery, and its remote control uses eight AA batteries. When either the battery in the plane or the batteries in the handset are running low, the response from the plane is slower. You can cycle the main battery to resolve most issues by holding the plane in your hand and pressing the throttle until the battery runs out, then charging the battery fully.
Lights
- Megatech assures customers that the lights are set to always be on. Customers who are worried about the lights not being controlled by the on/off switch can relax; that's the way the circuits are designed. Remove the flight pack battery when not using the plane to save battery charge.
