Hmmm, I don't like unresolved issues! They usually come back to bite you, when you least expect it!

Do it now, you may never get another chance

Been there, that was a lesson I learned very quickly. Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees ! I now have a bag full of servo reverser's for when I still get it wrong !:whistle:

Turn the servo round?
Won't work, the output arm/disc still rotates the same way, unless it has been mounted on it's side.
Now, if you turn the servo over, top for bottom, THEN you get a 'reverse' rotation.
-
Bring back the old servos, where you could get inside, and change two wires on the feedback pot, and the two wires on the motor, to make it go the other way!
Or - use your fancy computer radio, go into programming, and select servo reverse on the required channel!

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Turning the servo will work providing you swap the pushrod, snake etc over to the other side...

balsa is best.

In which case, why bother turning the servo round, because then you have to alter the length of the pushrod as well! [badass]

Having known him for many years I know that Stephen is not very good explaining himself, I wonder if he didn't mean the servo plug was reversed and that's why it wouldn't work! Been there, done that , worn out the T shirt![badass]

Eric, it's hardly a huge job to very slightly alter the length of the push rod is it? as far as Im concerned its standard practice to have adjustment on cable runs etc,you do tend to find problems where none exist....anyway all sorted :)
