Surely the plans had some info? Otherwise ti would be best to take the guidance of someone experienced, at your local field.

Once you receive the Tx, Rx go through the manual - it should be sufficient

How would the radio manual tell one "how to connect the servo to the rudder" ?

Sushil, the idea is that Each Rx has a standard sequence in which the channels are organized so one would be able to identify the 'rudder' channel. Next it is the question of inserting the connectors the correct way. In a 3 pin connectors there are only two possible ways it can be connected. So what was wrong in my suggestion?

There is at least one commonly used low end radio receiver where abundance of caution is urged while connecting the power source (usually from the ESC) connector reversed.  You can find the post from Sai to this effect.

Please refer to this for the standard electric connection diagram :

Connection from "servo to rudder" would imply the mechanical part, I would think, and that would NOT be covered by any radio manual. And if it was assignment of the channels he was looking at then it would not only be the rudder but all servos.

My thinking is too linear perhaps. And, very likely, you have read him right.

I guess his question had two parts
1. How to connect wires of Servos to the Receiver..
2. also How to connect the servo to the rudder
So I think Sushil, your line of thinking is absolutely straight

Hey Sushil, I relooked at the original question. Like flyingboxcar said, there is two parts to the question, I guess each of us was concentrating on one part only

Guys let me make it simple

there are two parts

1) i want to know what is the proper way to connect servos to the reciever e.g. Electrical diagram if possible,

2) how do I attach the horn to rudder as it is standing (not like aileron - Flat) is there special rudder horn or something ?
