Cheif Aircraft
I deal alot with cheif. I like there products an prices. I was looking for some SWB Double locking servo arms for my rudder tray an seen that they only have arms for Hitec an JR. With me being a futaba guy that don't help me much.......Was wondering if the JR or Hitec locking arms would work with a futaba servo spline? I have always thought the servo arms did not switch over to diff brands of servos.............Anyhelp would be great....Thanks

Yup. I believe hitec has 24, the futaba has 25. I've got tons of hitec arms that won't fit my 2 futaba servos[:@]

RE: Cheif Aircraft
You can be asking for trouble in using servo arms of one brand of servo on another. In general I have found that for standard sized servos (micros are different) that Futaba, DAD, GWS and FMA are interchaneable. Also Hitec, Apollo and Hobbico are the same and JR and Airtronics are interchangeable.
