Default plane won't power up!

i just built my tensor and used my old flatana elctronics, but it won't power up when i hook up the battery. this setup worked perfect until i put it in here. it's a specktrum DX6 reciever, tp 720 li po, spektrum sevos, a rimfire motor, and a ss 12 esc. the thing won't power up when my battery is hooked up. there's no switch harness on it r nothin... wat is up with it?

This might be a dumb answer but is the throttle on your receiver in the low position?

On the rcvr, on one end where the servos plug in, there is a + and -- sign . Plug in the servos and ESC so the black wire on the plugs is to the -- side. Otherwise everything is plugged in backwards and nothing works, doesn't hurt anything, just nothing works.
