Jdonald is on a distinguished road
The HABU is available in two versions, the BNF and PNP.
The BNF version is designed to be a easy to fly 1st jet. $399.99 U.S.$
The PNP version is a not so easy to fly 1st jet. $219.99 U.S$
The BNF version comes with a flight controller and serial receiver. The flight controller has the dual diversity antenna. The antenna lead extensions are longer
than say the AR636A receivers.
These foam jets contain a fair quentity of carbon fiber reinforcement. The battery occupies about 25% of the aircraft. As a result there is plenty on board the aircraft to block the signal to the antenna and cause a hold, the receiver moves the channel outputs to the failsafe setting. It is possible your receiver and or setup is not compatible for this aircraft.
However an extensive range test should be done to ensure that signal loss to the receiver is not the cause of the problem before flying.
