John moving the servos would be way more trouble than just swapping a servo out. and I have done the reversing before by making a dog led in the control rod. But the big stick still has the nose gear and the LT-40 has a second pushrod for the tail wheel instead of the tiller bar tail wheel set up form the plans. A new servo that goes the direction I need it to go is a no brainer.

And a 3 dollar gamble for a servo reverser is not a problem. Especially since I plan on buying a couple of other things. And if if doesn't work, oh well, what the hey.

Attitude adjustment. That was funny. I like flying from grass much better than cement so a tail dragger is a better choice for me. When I had my first Little Stik and was trying to learn to land I broke a wood prop on just about every landing attempt. And if I remember Johnny Cashburn only sold wood props. (Smart Fellow) so I wood buy a dozen at a time. Finally someone suggested that I make my plane a tail wheel model and the prop breaking magically stopped. The light went on and I have owned very few tricycle geared planes since then.
