Hey guys, well with all the good advise I received I could hardly wait to go pick the 18 up. I had a R1221 already in the F16 I am working on so I just bound the new 18 to that receiver and worked perfectly. Then I decided to add some extra goodies to the jet such as canopy and lock, probably just because that new receiver that came with the radio and the expansion receiver that I picked up also was just setting there. So when I tried to bind the new receiver I got only a glitch of light on the receiver when I plugged the battery into it. I can not get a flashing light and I do have the bind plug in. Yet when I try the receiver I took our it binds fine. Bad receiver? I don't know. I will take it back to the hobby shop tomorrow and check it with another one just to see. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks
