    They're pretty tight sometimes, I've had to file them a little before. Be sure you do the latest updates on the IX12, it makes a big difference in putting the radio into sleep mode and speeds up switching from model to model.

        Just a common metal file but if you don't have one use a fingernail file (emery board)

          Note that Futaba plugs have "lug" that has to be taken off for them to fit in the Spektrum RX.
          Wire order is the same. Black on Futaba = Brown on Spektrum.

          If you manage to plug in -/signal reversed, you won't hurt anything with + in center (which is what everyone uses now)
          If using a Y harness and plug one servo correctly and the other -/signal reversed, neither servo will respond. You still didn't hurt anything.

            This particular receiver came with two satellite receivers....Is there anything I should know about placement of these.? It also has the standard two wires coming out which I am assuming should be 90 degs from each other.....

              Correct on the small wires, on the satellites I usually try to get them as far away from each other as possible.
