YHR - I would not have picked this radio, it just came as a 'bonus' to sweeten the pot.
MAUS45- OK so I mixed up the filter for the turret rotation motor, but do I get partial credit for knowing that it was dropped between H and J?
Leong - Thanks for the info. There are too many disclaimers at the beginning of the thread to convert to Mode 1 for my electrophobia to consider it at this point.
I seemed to achieve the same result (drive on right stick, turret/gun on left) by rearranging the plug order of the channels on the receiver.
However, if that is the source of this issue, then I'll reconsider.

Benny- Yes and no - I will have to go back tonight to figure out where and when.
As I was trying to figure out which channel went where, I tried a few different arrangements.
I remember sometimes the servo jumped when I pressed the fire button, but that was all that happened, no sound and no flash.
Sometimes nothing happened at all.

Here is the diagram I was using when I was trying to install a servo on my pershing using a 4YF.
The only difference was I used the camera hold module instead of a delay.
Would it be the same setup?
This setup refused to work for me.
The most common result was that the servo would 'jump' when I fired, sending my IR beam a sunder.


One other variable here is the Spektrum has one of Randy's VBT chips installed.
But it can be turned off independently, so the fire button functions with out them.
I also have them on my 4YF's.
