If I used futaba servos on a Futaba receiver on channel 37 and I had a JR XP6102 Transmitter also on channel 37 would the servos act as JR servos, basically my question is can I use Futaba equipment on JR radios just fine and have no problems because I wanna get the Great Planes Flatout Turmoil and the only good inexpensive flight equipment is Futaba and I already have a brand new radio which is my JR radio and I see no problem just as long as they are on the same frequency but I want to make sure it would work before I buy a new set of servos and reciever.
Thanks

You can't use the reciever. JR uses positive shift and Futaba uses negative. The servo's are compatible but you can't cross transmitter reciever combos.

so you are saying the futaba servos would work but i have to modify them to fit in a jr receiver and it would work great

Correct you will only be modifying the plug.

You can use about any servo with about any RX. You don't even have to worry about damaging the RX or servo if you plug them in backwards, since the power is always on the middle pin. However, on Futaba, the connector has a little tab to ensure they are plugged in correctly. To use a Futaba servo with another brand of RX, you'll have to shave of the little tab.

Most people don't plug the servos into the TX.....

I bet dominator73439 would like to have a TX that had the ability to select shift.

I know that everything has to be perfectly spelled out for you. I'll try harder next time not to make any mistakes, because I always feel sorry for the short-bus graduates.
