I have an RC plane that is without remote control. How can i bind the random remote control I have with the plane?

You need to find the type of RC receiver on the plane, and the protocols it speaks, and the type of radio/transmitter you have, and the protocols it speaks. A common controller/radio/transmitter brand is FrSky with the ACCST protocol (apparently now ACCESS), Flysky with AFHDS2A, and Spektrum with DSMX. Each of these brands and protocols has their own binding procedure described in the transmitter and receiver manuals. Since this article is about inexpensive, the least expensive, well-known brand I listed here is Flysky. Frsky is more about open source and modularity, and Spektrum is the most American but not cheap or open. Radiolink appears to be another large brand but I don't know as much about them.

Generally, all of these are about sending a PWM signal, with the pulse width being 1.0 ms - 2.0 ms, where 1.5 ms is the "center" position, at an update rate of 50 hz, to represent the controller stick positions, with 4 channels, two for each axis of two sticks, and perhaps additional channels for communicating more data from a fancier controller to a fancier receiver for things like flaps, landing gear, flight modes, etc.

Frsky used to be good but they pushed too many shady things and caused too headaches to their users.

Everyone now moved onto ExpressLRS (an open source, very high quality rc link protocol) that multiple hardware vendors support.

Radiomaster, Jumper, Mateksys, Betafpv and more vendors support Elrs.

My next radio probably would be radiomaster once my frsky hardware dies.

The best support for random consumer rc protocols is the open source https://www.multi-module.org/

It can be plugged into various TXs that support modules, and many TXs use it as their built in primary TX component.

There's a lot of details missing from your question I think. I tried doing some brief research for you because the question sounds interesting, but without knowing information that would narrow down the quality of the remote or the plane, it's too difficult to guess what your next steps are.

Look at the docs for the radio on the plane and then acquire a remote control that is compatible with that radio. Or, if you don't even have a radio, buy a remote control and radio, read the manuals, install the radio (and battery), connect the servos, check that it works.
