Ok Dave, have you tried swaping over the plugs to the rx, if not  and this works you will need to swap over the rudder

No it is like you said every thing works without the mixer, and like they say the two plugs from mixer to tx, one goes to the rudder channel and the other goes to the throtle channel.

yes thats what they don't tell you as in which speed controller plugs in which side of the mixer. and this does make a difference.
