Default Getting NADA from Fut. 7CAP and Hitec Rcvr.

I just bought this from another RCU member: a used Zagi (my first electric plane) with a Hitec Micro 555. I have a Futaba 7CAP - which I understand should work w/ the Hitec, as both are negative shift. I bought a Hitec Dual Conversion crystal on Ch. 39 to match the 7CAP. Switched from PCM to PPM. Plugged the ESC into Ch. 3, the ailerons into 1 and 2 - and when I turn on the transmitter I get a little twitch out of the servos but nothing else. I pulled my Futaba receiver out of another plane and hooked it up similarly, switched back to PCM, and got perfect control. Am I missing something here or did I get a bum receiver??
