"In plane mode the servos for Aileron , rudder ext don't go on the AUX Pins they go on the normal pins and so does the BEC to power them.

"What mode are you in when you take off, IIRC Loiter needs more throttle to take off than other modes
Re the slow servo what servo are you using, Digital or Analog

The problem is that its not seeing when I turn the radio off, in mission planner on the Radio Calibration Screen it still shows a radio connection when I turn the radio off.
