Most servos now use the Futaba standard which is:
Signal - the "inside" pin, closest to RX circuit
(Futaba = white, Hitec = Yellow, Airtronics = Blue)
+V - center pin on connector
(All brands = Red)
GND - the "outside" pin, closest to edge of RX board
(All brands = Black)
With that arrangement, if you reverse the connector accidentally
(reversing Signal and GND), the servo will either sit still or chatter a
little, but you won't blow the RX or servo. If, however, you reverse +V
and GND wires, the magic smoke will be released from either the RX,
servo or, for those lucky few, both.
