- Put in a servo reverser on one of the flap servo lines : $ 3.00 from Hobby King >-- Click here http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...h=servo revers

- Put in a reversed servo on one of the flaps

- Reverse the location of the linkage on one of the flaps so that it connects to a servo arm on the OTHER side of the servo.

- Use another channel for one of the flaps & use a mix on your transmitter

I normally opt for the cheap servo reverser I gave the link for.

This unifies radio programming, keeps the linkage geometry identical, and does not require anything more expensive.
Go with the servo reverser (a small piece of cable that goes in between the servo you want reversed and the "Y" cable). Also, I got a servo rate reducer to slow the flaps down when deployed. Works great. Got them at RC Dude.
