Phase 1. Update: It's ALIVE!!!
Using temporary wiring and power direct from the computer USB, I've managed to confirm that the RF Controller, through the RF Transmitter creates a reliable and usable input to the Arduino. I've also managed to program the Arduino to get the desired action at the servo.

Now, I'm aware that the Arduino Uno is not rated to drive the servo under load so the current configuration will need to be modified to include a separate power circuit for the servo. Also, it will need to be contained in a box, not just sitting on my desk. Components have been ordered.
But I'm happy to report that we have 1 functional axis under direct control! Schematic with proper power wiring:

Videos and photos seem difficult to link properly. Troubleshooting underway.
