Default Futaba servos with Airtronics receiver?

Hi. My question is this: Can I use Futaba standard servos with Airtronics receivers? I know it would involve some changes in connectors, etc, but is this feasible?
Thanks!

It's absolutely possible. If you have an older airtronics receiver you will need to change two of the wires on the connection, as well as possibly having to shave off the tab on the connector. Follow the attached diagram as a guide for using them with your Airtronics receiver.

Hope this helps

Hi, Ken, that is great news.
I think I'll have to swith all the 3 cables to make a Futaba servo work with an airtronics receiver. Am I wrong?
Thanks!

You shouldn't have to switch all three. Only the positive and negative wires. The control wire stays were it's at.
