Default servo movemnt

Some times the servos can get 180 degrees out of trim due to large forces being drawn upon the lines. To check them you will have to remove the RX/SERVO board from the fuse. This is not difficult. The servo arms should both be facing each other.
I had this happen to me as well, but it only happened on one servo. I attach a picture of the control board out of the plane, but still connected to the motor. Look at the servo arms. You should be able to look into the plane and tell if the servo arms are at the right points. You will probably have to remove the foam block to see clearly. The two holders on each side of the foam just pull out.

This should help you eliminate this as a problem. If they are pointing toward the back of the plane, rather than at each other, you have to reset them to these positions at rest.
