Jon,
I'm building an order for an AP8 and RC4, can I control both off (1) prop-1?

Yes, you can control an RC-4 and AP-8 from a single pin on the Prop-1.  Since the RC-4 gets its power from the Prop-1 you should put in line first (that said, the Rev D AP-8 passes power through -- so check).  To be safe, do it like this:

Prop-1.P7  -->  RC-4.Serial --> AP-8.Serial

Note that all of our I/O boards have two serial headers; we use a multi-drop buss so either can be input or output, it doesn't matter which one you use.
