Jeremiah:

If that is what's happening, you'll crash during or shortly after takeoff. [] You need to use the aileron channel "servo reverse" function to get them corrected.

Right transmitter stick to the right: left ailerons go down, right ailerons go up. (Left and right are defined as if you are sitting in the cockpit facing forward.)

Right transmitter stick to the left: left ailerons go up, right ailerons go down.

Right transmitter stick towards you: elevators up

Right transmitter stick away from you: elevators down

Left transmitter stick to the left: rudder moves left

Left transmitter stick to the right: rudder moves right

Left transmitter stick away from you: throttle opens

Left transmitter stick towards you: throttle closes

Another thing about this kit: the ailerons are hinged with covering, and Hangar 9 did it wrong. The have the ailerons so close to the wing that they bind up before you can get the travel specified. I found that by carefully heating the hinge area with a heat gun, and pulling the aileron away from the wing a little while moving it up and down, I was able to get them all moving freely.
