DX8 SPEKTRUM BINDING
I have a DX8 Spektrum transmitter and am trying to bind a AR400 receiver. The light in the transmitter
shows steady when I bind the tx to it, but none of my servos will move. Please help. Aframe2

Connect a servo to the AR400, connect a battery to a Servo port, power up the DX8, and see if the servo will respond to Stick movement.
Keep the Tx a couple of feet away from the Rx when Binding. Be sure the Rx battery is 5v or 6v.

Bushbarber, Yes I did everything you mentioned, and I did get the solid light indicating
a successful bind. One thing I did that might cause a problem was using a 4.8v receiver
battery. I am charging a 6v battery and will try that. Aframe2

The only Binding problem I ever ran into was with an AR9000. I had Bound the Tx and Rx several times at my club field and at home with no issues. I tried to Bind at an airport next to a large metal aircraft hangar. It would not Bind. I called Horizon and they suggested I move out to the runway away from the hangar. I did so and had no trouble Binding.

I know its going to sound stupid but are you sure the servo leads arent plugged in upside down?
Ive seen it a few times and managed to do it myself somehow once.Just a thought.

RE: DX8 SPEKTRUM BINDING
Aerocal, I don't think so, but I will look to make sure. Doesn't make sense to me that the receiver
shows a good bind and none of the servos work. The battery lead and the bind plug are plugged
into the receiver the same way, but I will make sure about the servo leads. Thanks, Aframe2
