New Futaba user needs help with 18sz
So, I made the jump from JR to a Futaba 18sz.
Got at far as plugging the servos in but they won't move. Ive linked the receiver to the tx and selected airplane type and wing. The receiver is showing green led and the tx is in Fasttest 18 ch mode.
I know it's something simple but I can't find it in the manual.
Help me please!

If the receiver is the R7008sb that came with the radio, then you have the correct modulation set, so that should not be an issue.
Are you sure that the servos are plugged in right way round?
with Futaba receivers it's very easy to tell which way to plug in a JR style servo plug. Just make sure that the white or yellow signal wire is oriented next to the little slot in the receiver case that's there for the Futaba J connector servo plugs.
The 18SZ is a really great radio, best of luck!
