Default Speed control/ Receiver HELP !!

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum but I hope someone can help.
I've been into RC Aircraft for years and I thought I give the Electrics a try.

I purchase a combo from Tower with the GP 25A Electronic Speed Control and a Futaba radio that includes the R114F 4 channel receiver. It's a sail plane radio setup that was included in the combo. The plane in the package is the GP S.E.5a WWI Biplane with ailerons.

My problem is: I'm not sure if I'm suppose to plug the speed controller into ch.3 (throttle) of the receiver. Channel 4 is mark 4/B, which is where power is to be connected if I were to use the supplied receiver battery pack.
I know the speed control puts out 5v BEC, so voltage isn't a problem. Am I correct plugging into ch.#3?? There's nothing in any of the instructions.

Thanks,

Bob Hayes
