Turn Left - Left wing up or down?

[tommy1800]

To turn left, does the left aileron move down or up? I set up the cub with ailerons using stock parts by moving the rudder servo on top of the wing. I haven't flown it yet, because when i push left on the stick, the left aileron moves down...i've never done ailerons before, but that doesn't seem correct to me. If that's wrong, what could i do to change the direction of the servo?

Think about the way the plane has to bank to turn. Visualize the air moving over the control surface and how that will displace the wing.

You are backwards. Your only option is to reverse the servo. There is no reversal function in the TX.

This idea is another 'learning environment' for you.

Ya, that's what i thought, i just wanted to hear it from someone. I've actually got it switched around now and working how it should be. To reverse the stock 5 wire servo, all you have to do is remove the top/roof of the connector in the ESC/RX so that you can plug it in upside down. By pluggin it in upside down it reverses it. I've messed with it for a while and it seems to be just fine, hopefully there's no side effects. I'll post if there's any unforeseen effects.

The plug INSIDE the 'black box' is little and fragile. The plug is lousy. It's easy to break the solder joint inside. Done that 2x with a few plug/unplugs and it totally screws up control on that channel.

I actually tried to break the solder joint so i could turn the plug in the "black box" upside down, but there was no loosening it, it's still pretty firm in there. I haven't really plug/unplugged those very much. Hopefully it will stay connected good, but thanks for the heads up.

I was tought that which ever way you push the stick (the one one the right) that aileron should go up, so if you push it to the right the right aileron should go up and vise versa
