Totally Confused, help Please!

Hi.
I have been trying to follow the wiki instructions building a Hoverthings Flip Sport Quadcopter using a Pixhawk, a 4-in-1 Speed Control Quad HOBBYWING Skywalker Quattro 25A x 4 and a Frsky Taranis but am having no luck getting the motors to work and am desperately asking for some help!!
My progress so far is as follows.
Connected the Frsky X8R SBUS to Pixhawk RC IN, the receiver is bound. Connected the Quattro wires as follows red to Prop 1, yellow to prop 2, white (signal) black Red to prop 3, brown to prop 4. These wires are connected to the signal pins. Calibrated the ESC for LiPo.

Selected X the frame type which is a bit confusing as there is not much information on setting the drop down Default params box.
Done the calibrations and have set the flight modes as follows. 1 Stabilize, 4 Alt Hold, 6 Loiter which are controlled by the SD switch.

My problems start when doing a motor test. All I get is a long beep followed by two short high pitch beeps.

I also can not get it to arm i.e. throttle down and to the right. It does the start up sound then I push the red safety switch until it goes steady red. Then I get a blue flashing light which means its looking for a GPS lock. I assumed the GPS has a fault so in the standard Params I disabled the Arming check and the Baro Glitch protection as well as disabling the Battery, Radio and GCS Failsafe in an attempt trouble shoot the problem. No luck as I get the blue flashing light and no response to arming or stick movements.
This is a complicated bit of kit and I have definitely run out of ideas!!! If anyone can give me some help I would appreciate it!!!

Start with your motor test.
You may need to press the safety switch and hold it until it goes solid red.
You may also need to increase the ‘Throttle %’ value. I have to bump mine to 25% before the motors will turn.

Props off!

Thanks for the help. All working now which happened after reseating some of the cables.
