Default Futaba Tx, Hitec Rx, Jr Servo's=Possible?

I have a Futaba 8uafs and run either Futaba, Hitec and Tower Receivers. The other day I got a free RTF Helicopter (old Kyosho Concept) in good shape. last flown a bout a year ago. I really want to invest as little as possible in this thing since it is only going to be for a trainer. If it pans out, I'll sink some serious cash in the next one.

I spent today cleaning it up and fixing this and that. My first problem is it is all Jr, I am returning the receiver to the owner and will replace it with a Hitec. Question here is can I use the servos. I know JR will work with Hitec RX but how about further up the line here with my Tx?
I just hate to remove all thatand reinstall servo's if I dont have to.

I'm pretty sure that as long as your tx is talking to your rx and your rx is talking to your servos OK, then the tx really doesn't care what servos are plugged into the rx. As long as you plug the servos into the receiver according to the channel assignments for your tx, I don't think you'll have problem.

Yes the JR servo plugs are totally compatable with Hitec. A positve shift version of the Hitec Rx will not work with a Futaba Tx, it must be a negative shift version, There however is one version of the hitec Supreme that will do both. By the way all current servos are compatable and the Tx modulation shift issure has nothing to do with the servos.
