Default help with wiring

so i bought my first Plug and play plane and within two minutes it was gone. don't ask. bought a replacement plane figuring how difficult could it be to bind my controller , wire up the plane and get started. bought a trainer replacement - FMS ranger 1120 MM , the Spectrum DSX controller i owned from the first plane and bought a Spectrum AR620 and a reflex V3. plane went together just fine- binding was not a problem . issue must be how i wired the thing up. the right control actually is controlling the propeller. i know i screwed this thing up some how. does anyone have a point to point they can share or some thoughts. please and thanks

Clearly you plugged the throttle into the elevator channel and the elevator into the throttle channel

Default AR620 + Reflex V3 Wiring Tips for FMS Ranger

Hey, welcome to the hobby! Don’t worry, a lot of us messed up wiring the first time too—it’s part of the learning curve. From what you’re describing, it sounds like your throttle channel (which should control the propeller) is currently mapped to your aileron or elevator stick instead. That usually happens if the receiver channels are plugged into the wrong slots.

On the AR620, you’ll want to double-check the wiring:
  • Channel 1 (THR) → ESC (this controls the motor/prop)
  • Channel 2 (AILE) → Right aileron servo
  • Channel 3 (ELEV) → Elevator servo
  • Channel 4 (RUDD) → Rudder servo
  • Channel 5/6 → Optional or for the Reflex V3 stabilizer depending on your setup
Make sure your Reflex V3 is also wired according to its manual—sometimes beginners skip one connection and the mapping gets all mixed up.

If you want a step-by-step guide with diagrams, I’d suggest looking up some RC wiring tutorials or checking out detailed writeups online. I often use ScholarlyHelp for structured how-to style breakdowns, and it’s been a lifesaver when I get stuck.

Hope this helps—once you rewire and calibrate, your Ranger 1120 should fly just fine. Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
