Randy,
I know I have had the problem where my motor will start on its own and not stop. This is due to me powering the plane before turning on my transmitter. It goes to a failsafe mode, once that happens I can't turn the motor off. I always disconnect the power from my plane, not push the reset button. Not sure if that will help any or not. The sequence should be transmitter on plane on, plane off transmitter off. With the Aurora make sure to tell it you want to "start transmitting" before you turn on the plane.

helloo guys till now i still cannot figured out what will be the problems in my system any help? i would appreciate....
Welcome Andy, what kind of platform are you trying to fly? I assume its an aircraft.
Before adding the APM does everything work properly with just the normal RC transmitter and receiver that you have. By that I mean is the throttle channel connected in the correct way, down is off. Once you know you have the basic setup right you can introduce the APM into the mix and you will know that any change of surface direction or a surface not working must be in the APM setup.
