Default need help setting a wing servo

Hi guys, I'm tring to set up my dads new tower trainer, I'm putting the servo in the wing but I cant seem to figure out how to get it to work in the right direction. He has a Hitec Laser 4 channel transmitter so It cant just reverse the servo. I dont know if I'm not looking at it right or what but I can not get it to move in the right direction. what am I missing here?

That transmitter has a servo reversing feature on all channels. Just reverse channel one and you should be good to go. If I'm not mistaken that transmitter has the reversing switches in the battery compartment (I think). When you move the stick right, the right aileron should rise and the left should lower. When you move it left, the left aileron will rise and the right will lower.

I looked at TH site and looked at the transmitter and it doesnt say anything about reverseing, so if it can not reverse what can I do?

Is [link=http://www.*********.org/hitec_laser4.htm]this[/link] the transmitter? If so, everything I have read indicates servo reversing capability on all channels.

Don't think there is a hobby grade radio made that doesn't have servo reversing, just pull the battery pack out and you'll find it. Make sure to test it to be sure that you switched the correct channel.

thanks Nathan King that is the transmitter. I didnt know they put the controls in the battery compartment. I didn't see the servo reverseing in the TH site about the transmitter. Thanks for the info, just wish I would of known that about 4 months ago when we set up his first plane.

They can't put EVERYTHING in the ads (then it would be called a manual) and since virtually all modern TX's have reversing there shouldn't be a need. This is also why they print manuals - to be read.

I have said that to my youngest student but reading seems to be too much effort or takes away too much time from his game boy??
