I'm assembling my first park flier and in the process, I'm running into what looks like a connection problem.

Here's what Happens:
I've got a GWS receiver and a GWS esc. I've got one servo connected, the throttle/battery lead, and the tx turned on. When I plug the battery in, the servo jumps and stops. Manipulating the sticks on the tx has no effect.

What does work
Applying pressure to the battery/throttle lead at some strange angle. If I press it with my finger everything starts working the way it should: the one servo functions, so does the throttle. If I stop pressing, the connection breaks.

It looks to me like there is a bad connection in the receiver. It's strange though, because it seems to be only power related. If I replace the power from the esc with a standard receiver battery the same thing happens. I would think that the servos should exhibit the same behavior since they are attached to the same block.

Is there something I can do to stop this?

thanks,

you are better off sending it back for repair, I wouldn't take a chance with this receiver
