David, I looked back at the blue sheet that came with the 555Rx.  Your Rx 
compatibility with Futaba has a negative shift, whereas the Rx compatibility 
with Airtronics/JR has a positive shift (which is what I use in the Zagi).  
That may explain why I am running PPM, and you are running PPM-inv on the 
Stylus.  Since your elevons are working on the Stylus, I do not think this is 
the problem.

Have you flown this Zagi on another radio, or is this a new plane that you 
are trying to program with the Stylus?  I am thinking this is either a Stylus 
setup problem or wire polarity mix-up with the motor, diode, speed control, 
and battery.  

If it is the setup problem, I am giving you my setup.  I had the left servo 
going to Ch. 4 on the Rx and the right servo going to Ch. 3, and the throttle 
going to Ch. 5.  On the Stylus menu for REV (reversing servo direction), I 
had 1, 2, 3, 6 in the up position and 4, 5, 7, 8 in the down position.  I do 
not know if the compatibility may affect this information on REV.

If it is a polarity mix-up, please check carefully the wiring diagram on 
figure 9 and the write-up on page 8 in the assembly manual.  Also, remember 
the startup sequence for the throttle stick that I described in the first 
E-mail (try stick down and then turn radio and plane on, also try stick up 
and then turn radio and plane on).

I sure would like to know if you have flown this plane before.
