1. Is there a way to have the landing light turn off when retracted?

As for the steering, you will not be able to inhibit it when the gear is retracted so long as you have only a 6-ch RX. You need an extra channel so you can isolate the steering and mix it to a switch like the retract switch or put it on the rotary knob to use for steering. If you really want to isolate it and have it not function when the gear is up, I would suggest you get an Assan steering gyro. This will do the job you want and also provide the ability to have "straight as an arrow" ground handling.

Evan is right. The steering should already be defeated when gear is retracted if it's plugged into the correct slot.
PS, you should ask the seller if he can find the manual for the plane. It should also contain the schematic for the control box.

It's not a travel setting. Do you have the nose gear plugged into the correct pins. Notice in the video (@3:25) that the gear pins are a set of 3 pins, however, there is a small space between the pair and then a single that's right next to the nose steering. Is the nose retract plugged into the one next to the nose steering? I'm not sure if this might be the cause, but if it's plugged in correctly and the steering isn't defeated with the gear up, then you should look into the Assan unit or see if Motion will send you a new control box to try.

Just completed another Jet for my fleet of 90mm Freewing Jets. She has a Spektrum AR10100T 10 Channel Receiver, Freewing 90mm 12 Blade 4068-1835kv 6S EDF Inrunner, Freewing 150amp ESC, Upgraded the servos to D85MG Hitec Servos for the Elevators & Hitec HS85 Servos for the Ailerons & Flaps added some Nav lights on the wings and with all my jets afterburners. Coated her with 5 coats of Matte finish Min Wax to protect the surfaces. (makes it real easy to clean) Put in some crazy mixes I am sure I will never dare to use, but looks cool on the ground. Also have a spare FMS 8S 1500kv that might go in her in the future. Now once the weather breaks up here on Cape Cod she will get her maiden...... but for now she looks great in the hangar.....

Not sure where you would get it but the ESC they put in the new Eurofighter is good. 120A, 8S, 8A BEC and has reverse.

On most of my FW planes when retracted the nose gear servo doesn't move. But I also have a Assan steering gyro on some and that disables steering too.
