Thanks guys . I have solved the binding problem. The order I was using to turn the ESC on was the problem. As for the flap problem, I didn't know you have to activate the flap option so I will back up and see if I can figure out how to do that. If I activate the flap function should I then plug the flap lead into the flap or auxillary port? Also do you have to activate the auxillary channel? Thanks
