I had to replace my RX/ESC on the supercub after a major nosedive crash. The replacement (and rebuild of the everything from the firewall foreward) went fine. The binding went fine. The plane responds perfectly to the TX. However, instead of a constant light on the LED, it is blinking slowly (a slow flash). I will recharge the battery (maybe I just have a low charge?). Otherwise I don't know what this could mean.

If I remember correctly, flashing LED means loss of voltage or loss of contact with transmitter. If you disconnect a battery then re-connect it without cycling the transmitter off and then back on, this will happen.
Wiggling the connector back and forth when plugging the battery in can cause this connect disconnect re-connect to happen. Drove me nuts 'till I figured out what was going on.

Yes, you are right about the wiggling of the connector. I was being slow and hesitant when I was connecting the battery. If, instead, I firmly connect the battery to the RX/ESC, the light shines solid. It was my weak wiggling around of the battery lead that probably broke the connection for a second and then reconnected. Of course TX on first (before connection) and off last (after disconnecting).
