"I was just thinking about that issue a few days ago!  Thanks for letting me know.  I'm glad it worked out for you.  I've had several issues with Hobbyking, and they all worked out eventually - but in each case I needed to push it, use their chat…"

"Remember to wait a bit after power reset.  Also, when holding the stick bottom right to arm, don't wait too long - after 15 sec it goes into a calibration mode.

Did you ever try the reset button on the controller?…"

"That's a canned reply...  I got it on another issue.  I filled one of these out, my requested action was primarily tech support, I didn't think I wanted to send the whole unit back.  Anyway, 10 days after I filled out the RMA form I still got no…"

"I'm sorry if I was less than clear and implied mission planner caused this - it definitely did not in my case!  I only downloaded and installed it yesterday and started looking around, after stumbling across the video I mentioned.  Running the…"

"Since my receiver is bound, I won't try it.  BUT I suspect these instructions are less than clear.  On other receivers I have the bind plug usually goes into the last position - i.e. 8 here, not 4 (rudder).  You would connect signal to ground -…"

"Actually this is NOT the whole story.  I looked at a video I shot last week for hobbyking support, and I waited before I turned on the radio - and it did NOT work.  So even though my problem is (temporarily) solved, I don't know how I fixed it.  I'm…"

"I have fixed my issue (for now!).  I went into mission planner and checked all the settings - everything appeared to be normal.  But I appeared to be stuck in RTL mode.  The switches changed as expected in TX calibration, but on the flight mode I…"

"I found my answer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnhXSI2sTa0  The pins used are 1-2-3 which are really channel 5-6-7 or AUX1-3.  The video also says Aux1 is your flight mode - the 3 position switch.  So the factory wiring has a black wire carrying…"

"I checked my receiver, and the wiring is like your picture

Now unfortunately as I was moving wires at the controller the other end of that same wire popped out... and I do not know if it connects to 1-2-3 or to 2-3-4.  Do you think you could have a…"

"I have the same issue...  can't arm...  I'll open up mine to check the wiring, would appreciate if you could post some of the links you found e.g. how to bind.  Anything else you learn.  I'll do the same, I'm in the same boat and for a change this…"
