RE: JR/Hitec? futaba compatabilty
I stand corrected!
Just done a bit more research. Transmitter and Rx need to be shift matched. (I knew there was a reason I always used matched transmitters and receivers).
Servos can be almost any make. JR, Futaba and Hitec servos will work with hardly any adjustment (tab may need to be cut off Futaba plug to fit other receivers).
Rotation direction is to do with wiring and can be corrected by either re-wiring (as rodney said) or servo reversing or switching servo arm through 180 degrees as I stated in my earlier post.
