Your totally right about shutting off the radio when switching between pcm and ppm. That was one of my mistakes. I have been trying to get this plane flying for so long and get everything working right so I could take it out for a test flight but ir just would not happen for me. Thanks to all of your help in this post I have all of my control surfaces workng now and I even got the engine running. It sounds a little rough with a few skips here and there but thats nothing an adjustment and the break in period should not fix. Now I need to go join the club thats over an hour away from my house since they shut down the 2 other clubs that were within 20 minutes away.......Later this week I will take a video of it in the driveway and post it here so any of you who care to take a peak at it can. Thanks again guys......your all great!!!!!!!
