Default RE: Old Airtronics servos, need new Rx

Don,t do it. Every airborn plug on the old style Airtronics system 'ALL' have reversed power polarity from everyone else then and now. This 'is' the heart of the problem.

This includes:

All servo male plugs
All Rx. female plugs/ports
battery pack male plug
switch harness charge jack
switch harness rx plug
switch harness female batt plug

Nothing is interchanable period.

Agine force plugging old style airtronics servo plugs into a Hitec or Futaba Rx will not and can not work.

For a time Hitec produced some Rx's with reversed polarity power buss for those old servos but the one you have is not or you would already have discovered that the old style plugs do fit that Rx. However these Rx are long out of production.

If you ever want to ever use those servos as I said before then your only options are 1. replace the servo plugs switching the power polarity in the process (I do not recomend you doing this yourself without help) Or 2. acquire for the purpose adapters for each servvo.
