- Woops..... It's a Futaba Servo into an Airtronics radio.....
- Then swap the black and red wire and change the connector.
- When putting an Airtronics servo into a Futaba radio, all one must do is
- swap the black and black w/ red wires, sand down the three tabs on the
- face of the connector and be carefull which way you plug it into the
- Rx. Airtronics uses rectagular pins however, so it is not so easy going
- the other way. You must replace the connector.
