Hi,
I have a 7 channel micro rx and I need to work out which servos map to which slots. On the rx I have slots labelled 1 - 6 and one labelled 7/B. Any help welcomed.

You MUST tell us the brand of the radio, the receiver brand does not matter as long as it is the same shift. The radio determines channel assignments.
If it is a Hitec or a Futaba:
Ch 1 primary turning surface - usually ailerons (sometimes rudder on a 3 channel plane)
Ch 2 Elevator
Ch 3 Throttle
Ch 4 Rudder
Ch 5 Retracts (sometimes second aileron or second flap servo)
Ch 6 Flaps (Sometimes Second aileron)
Ch 7 Utility (sometimes second Aileron)
Depends on what you are setting up. It would all be explained in the instructions for your radio.
RTFM - read the friendly manual.

By the way, the 7/B designation in your case means that channel 7 is normally used for the battery. If channel 7 is needed for a flight function, you can plug the battery pack and a servo into the same channel with a "Y" harness.
And the channel assignments that were mentioned above are for Futaba ( and Hitec?) equipment. JR and probably Airtronics would be different.
