Hi Don,
Nope, changeing the servo pig tail wires around will not reverse servo.
Might let the smoke out. :fuming:

In olden days before Surface Mounting Technology, we used to go inside the servo and reverse the wires going to the motor and the wires going to the pot and that would reverse it.

Not as many wires in servos now with most things soldered directly to board.

A servo reverser gizmo that plugs in between the servo and the reciever is still available I think. :unsure:

Thanks Alvin.. Well, I will just have to move the servo horn over to the right spot.
I put it in the wrong place,and the servo was backwards, and my ailerons were Flaps" Darn !!!!!!! :banghead: I hate it when I do that...... :wacko:

Don,

Are you using a Y-Harness on the airlerons?? If you have one servo in channel six in the receiver and one servo in channel one, then just reverse the servo that is going the wrong way. If you have a y-harness then you will need a reverser.

Thanks Jusini, I am using a Y-Harness.... I moved the servo horn over to the right place. That turned the servo around, and it is working the right way now. :) Then I did a fix up on my little mess up :) All Is Well"
