It appears that two of the holes are + and - power and the other four are where the signal lead from the servo would go.

So lots of cutting, wire stripping and soldering :)

I'd personally solder a short length of wire into the +ve and -ve holes and then attach all of the servo power and battery connections to that to make it a bit easier to do.

Even though it would require a new transmitter I still really want one.

That looks like a nice bit of kit, but considering I was 35g underweight on the weekend, I'll stick to the oh so heavy 2.2g orangeRX ;) That plus my soldering skills aren't up to much.

I got my rx this morning, its smaller than it looks in Jims pictures. I bought myself a usb microscope as it wasn't much more than a maginifying glass :wink: It looks like the through holes for the pads are 0.1mm diameter so I may have to rethink how I am going to solder this.

Yes I got mine also and they are tiny but the pads are bigger than that.
I have some 0.22 mm wire and that goes through the holes easily.
