my config;

1. Tx Futaba T6EX 2.4
2.Rx Futaba R617FS
3. KK multicopterboard black v 5.5 with x-copter v 2.3 as shown on the packet..

when I connect the tx and the battery to board, I hear one chirp, the blue led glows momentarily and then goes off, remains off and there is regular beeping from the ESCs..
the rx shows connected. I am attaching a picture to show the connections and one audio file (play it on VLC player)..
I have throttle channel reversed. I have tried things like pulling down the trims on throttle and rudder, moving throttle stick and rudder stick but so far nothing happens beyond what I have mentioned above. is there any way to check if the board is ok?
Please guide me on this.....

1. If you have your props on, take them off *immediately*.
2. Your connections look okay. You probably need to throttle calibrate. Here are the steps
  a. Turn off the Rx
  b. Move the yaw pot to zero (it may be clockwise or counterclockwise on your board. Try it both ways to be sure. On my board its clockwise)
  c. Put the throttle to max.
  d. Switch on the rx. The LED will blink 3 times rapidly.
  e. Immediately, bring the throttle to zero. The LED will blink 3 times to confirm (very rapid, looks like a single blink). Motor will beep.
  f. Turn off the receiver. restore the Yaw pot to whatever values it was earlier.
  g. Start and try to arm (make sure the props are off).

3. Hope that helps. More info http://www.kkmulticopter.com/downloads/resources/KKmulticontroller%20v.5.5.pdf. Check steps 2 and 4
