RE: Connecting GWR-4P
I have one of the Electrifly C-10's. I also have one of the GWS 4-ch RX's.
If using a Futaba TX: (and a Futaba comptible verson of the GWS RX... there is also a JR compatible version)
Ch1 is right stick side-side.
Ch2 is right stick fore and aft
Ch3 is left stick fore-aft
Ch4 is left stick side-side.
OK... you have the picture of the RX above... He's using JR servos by the color code. Orange on JR = white on Futaba. Brown on JR = black on Futaba. Red = red. Plugging the battery in backward = smoke.

The C-10 doesn't like less than 6 cells when yuo try to operate a motor. It SAYS in the instruction you can use 5... but it may refuse to turn on the motor. It will power up the RX OK on 4 cells.
First you have to determine that its all plugged toghether correctly. The red and black for the battery powering the ESC are the traditional + and - (and are moarked with a + at the red wire entering the ESC circuit board. It says Batt pretty clearly on the battery end... and motor clearly on the motor end. The plug for the RX is color coded normally for Futaba.
The motor can be temporarilly be replaced with a 12 volt light bulb from a car tail lamp while testing the ESC and RX. (mo worrying about the plane getting away from you)
Turn on TX, THEN turn on the power to the ESC (plug in the battery) Move the TX stick and trim to maximum. Pause a couple of seconds. Pull the stick and trim to minimum... listen for 3 beeps. (no beeps? put it back to maximum... it should beep) move the stick and watch the bulb grow brighter as you move the stick more.
You HAVE to cycle maximum, pause and then minimum and wait for the beeps or the motor WILL NOT START.
Put the throttle to the setting that gives brightest light... turn off the TX. The light should go out within 5 seconds. (failsafe test. YES, it has a failsafe system!)

I forgot... if using the GWS RX on a 4 channel glow power model... you use a Y harness to put the RX battery in. Does not matter what channel you Y it in with... The + and - pins are all connected to each other.
