As a total newb who has never flown an RC plane but have some time in real planes it sounds like i will have to over ride natural instinct when it comes time to control a plane by pushing forward to go up!!! and pushing the stick to the left to go right!!! This setup makes no logical sense to me and i,m with the original poster about re wiring the control to exhibit a more natural response,
I am not sure what you mean, but the RC radio stick setup is the same as full scale. You pull the elevator radio gimble to add up elevator, push to add down elevator. For ailerons, left stick is left aileron up and right aileron down. You would only push forward to go up if you were inverted. What full scale is opposite to this?[sm=72_72.gif] Just curious.
If thats the case then what is the original poster referring to when he says "Why should up mean down"
