What'd I do wrong? :) Building my first plane and when I hook the power up the servos go crazy moving back and forth very quickly. When I turn on the radio one servo spins around and pins itself to the side wall. The other spins to the wall, I can turn it back to center with the radio.

I'm gussing I either wired it wrong or there some kinda of interference. Here are my specs:
RadicalRC Lithium Polymer 2S 880 mah (two packs joined together)
HiTec Flash 5 (hs-555)
Pixie 7p ESC
GWS TigerMoth stock motor

How I wired it:
Channel 1>Servo
Channel 2>Servo
Channel 5>ESC
ESC is wired:
Battery>ESC>Motor
ESC>Receiver

The plane came with an on/off switch, I thought I read I didn't need that if I had the ESC. Is that incorrect?

Thanks.

Are you turning on the transmitter before energizing the receiver . . Tx On - Rx On . . Rx Off - Tx Off.

No I was not! That seems to have solved it. Thanks!!
