Reverse switch on transmitter for each channel or move the pushrod to the other side of the servo.

What kind of plane and radio and you will get more specific answer.
Yes it is backwards and most radios have a way of reversing the servo direction of that servo.

If you plan to fly without an instructor, you really should grab your radio's instruction manual and read through it. You'll find things in there about reversing servo direction.

Everything that you find in that manual that makes little sense to you is basically something that will probably contribute to a problem you'll have. See a lot of things in there that don't make sense to you? See why we're advising you to seek out a club and find someone to fly with.

This seems to answer the question in your other thread about why you couldn't keep your plane in the air.

OOPS.
