I don't know if there is an already established "standard"..but.....after having to trace the wires back a couple of times, I finally coded all of my leads as follows



RED = Rudder (Red/Rudder..simple to remember)



YELLOW = Elevator (YELL sounds similar to ELevator..simple to remember)



BLUE = Ailerons (Blue reminds me of the AIR or SKY ..somewhat simple to remember)



GREEN = Motor/power lead (Green means GO! )

Cool!

How did you actually accomplish this?

Put a dab of the same colored paint on the proper receiver slot, also.

I bought a package of colored tape. It comes in five colors I think. I wrapped a small piece of the correct color tape around each servo lead. Paint or anything that will stick will work also, of course, The idea is to have a system and stick to it. I've switched too many wires by mistake already..... in my first year in this great hobby. regards, Rich

I label mine with a label maker.

Thanks for the memory jogger, I used that system.... a mere 48 years ago! I was only suggesting a simple method that was easy to remember..Hope a few people put it to use, if they don't have an established and easy to remember system already at work ...regards, and thanks for the idea. Rich
