Default RE: Servo reversing

Rodney:

Of all the solutions I've come up with, I never thought of that one.

It sounds good!

Does it really work?

I freely interchange Hitec and JR servos, of course, which have the same polarity, and I have installed JR receivers in planes full of Futaba servos (shave the tabs off the connectors at the receiver). Perhaps I had to then reverse the channels at the transmitter, but I never noticed. I also installed a couple of Futaba hi-torque aileron servos in a plane otherwise powered by JR, because only the Futabas would fit the wing. But I have never intentionally installed a different brand servo just to get it spinning the other way.

This calls for some "bench research." If it works, then one could get servos spinning opposite directions by matching torque and speed.
