Changing direction of Servo
I have a 157" sailplane and need to rewire the servo so both serovs will go in the direction I need them to.
Which two wires do I switch (at the connector) to reverse the thro of the servo?
I dont have the room nor the $$ to go purchase a servo reverser.

RE: Changing direction of Servo
It's not as simple as reversing the leads on the plug... that would burn up the servo!
In order to reverse the direction on the servo you would need to reverse the two motor wires as well as the two outside wires on the potentiometer. However, on some servos the motor is soldered to the board which would prevent this. What servos are they?
