RE: Receiver wiring convention?
Nick,
Depends on what model of Futaba transmitter you have. Most of the 4 - 7 channel Futaba transmitters have the following lineup with your receiver:
Channel 1 Aileron
Channel 2 Elevator
Channel 3 Throttle
Channel 4 Rudder
Channel 5 Aux/Gyro
Channel 6 Gear/Pitch
Depends on if you are in Heli or Plane Mode. If you are using an electric speed control with BEC it plugs into channel 3. If using a separate BEC be sure and disable the built-in BEC of the speed control if one is present. The BEC can be plugged into any available port observing polarity of course.
