Default EAGLE 580 electric question...

Hello all, I am setting up my GP eagle 580 50" electric. I am running into a problem with the ALE channel. I'm using a Spektrum AR6210 and every channel is working execpt the ALE channel. I have switched out the Y harness and reset the settings in the TX but the ailerons are still not operating. Every once in a while the right aileron will twitch up but then its dead again. The servos are not even buzzing or acting like they are getting power. Just wondering if anyone else has run into an issue like this and if anyone has any ideas on what to troubleshoot. Thanks!

Justin

If you have a "Y" connector for the aileron, make sure one of the connectors is not plugged in backwards. If it is, neither aileron will work.

Ccfpilot, I went back and went through every servo connection on the plane and they are all correct, I even changed the "y" harness out to try and eliminate that possibility. The weird thing is that the servos twitch every so often. Just for the heck of it I plugged the y harness into the TX backwards and both servos reacted by pegging out to one side. So now I really don't know where to turn
