Note the direction of the servo's rotation. On my Futaba, the Hitec servos rotate in the oposite direction from the Futabas. Actually it's great since you can mix and match to get the control movements the same on all your planes without reversing at the TX and having to remember to change from model to model.

You can use any servo with any receiver as long as you make sure the positive lead, the negative lead and the signal lead from the servo are in the correct position for the receiver.

Do it all the time. Works like a champ.
