just making sure before i start shaving the "lip" off my tower servos..i am buying a new reciever for my airtronics radio i just bought and would like to use my tower servos that are already installed in my avistar .. till i get another plane and new servos.. can i do that? i want to be able to replace the airtronics reciever w/ the tower reciever it has in there when i get a new plane and give everything plane,radio blah blah to my lil bro...

Yes, you can shave off the tabs on Futaba/Tower connectors to make them fit JR-style plugs, I do it all the time. Sometimes also have to shave a slight bevel on two of the corners as well. It will be obvious what I mean if you need to do it.

However, on the mixing of a Tower and Airtronics TX and RX, you might run in to problems with the "shift" of the FM signal. Tower is a re-labeled Futaba, and Futaba and Hitec (by default) shift their FM signal one way, JR and Airtronics go the other, so their RX's aren't compatible by default. (some TX's and some RX's are selectable or auto-detect, so you may or may not run in to this).

Ah, that makes more sense .

Yes, you can do it, no problems. I have a whole pile of servos with hacked connectors, and they are fine.
