Ok people, this is what I have. Bought combination radio, receivers, and two servos, from park flyers.
Cheap outfit, also purchased esc 30 amp. Making sure that everything is connected correctly. As soon as I plug 7.2nmh battery pack to esc the servos go crazy and continue to do so until I disconnect battery pack.
Thought I had purchased a bad receiver, so I purchased another one and another esc. Received these yesterday. When I connect these they do the same thing. These are not in a plane yet as it is still under construction. This is hooked up on work bench the radio and receiver are 72mhz, and the channel is 51.
Turning radio on or off has no affect on servo behavior, but when I move any control it will operate multiple servos. I did not receive any paper work on radio or receivers. I have triple checked all and everything is as should be. Cannot figure this one out. Have tried to contact park flyers for 2 weeks now with no response. I am very disappointed with this company, poor support. I would nor recommend any buy from them I know I will not do so again.

thanks for the quick reply scoooper. ok the transmiter and reciever came as a matched set with 2 servos. chip in reciever and radio both say they are 72.810mhz and both say channel 51.was advertised as fataba &hitec compatible. transmiter is a parkflyer brand, nothing else on it. the reciver has nothing on it at all. all the servos i have are fataba compatible.

buckijim ;;Pull the servo wires out of the receiver but leave the
esc pluged in to ch, 3, turn on the trans then power up the esc&Thod, try it, replace the servo wires try'in em one at a time, and check to be sure the servo wires +&- are the right way in the reciever as they'll plug in either way ( theres probly +&- marks on side or somewhere on the receiver, you bub, scoooper
