Default will a Jr transmitter with futaba servos play well together?

I saw a plane for sale that included a Jr transmitter, but the plane clearly had futaba servos in it. So, if the guy used a Jr receiver, will the futaba servos work with it? Maybe rearrange the wires in the futaba connectors to correspond with Jr wiring, assuming the colors are arranged differently. Or putting Jr connectors on the futaba servo wires and arranging the wires to keep the Jr receiver happy? Can it be done, and how? I am aware that a Jr transmitter won't play well with a futaba receiver (opposite shifts), so he can't be using a Jr transmitter and futaba receiver unless futaba has a shift selectable receiver that I am unaware of. Or maybe a Htec shift selectable receiver. Man, this is dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't see why not as long as the pinout on the servo plug (+,-,signal) matches the pinout on the RX.
Checking [link=http://fatlion.com/sailplanes/servos.html]here[/link], it looks like they have the same pin out, you would just have to shave off the tab on the Futaba servo to fit the JR receiver.

Works fine, shave the tabs off and have fun. You dont have to move any wires around.

If it doesn't work, just flip the connector over, it will only work one way and it wont hurt anything if you plug it in wrong.
