Default F-4 PHANTOM ELEVATOR SERVO ISSUE!!

Just got my Jolly Rodgers F-4, looks like the elevator servo is backward, or I need a way to reverse servo, I don't see any servo reverse switches on tranmitter anywhere. When i pull back horizontal stabs tilt up in the front, thats not correct, when i push forward the front of horz drops down, incorrect also, anyone have a fix????

Check in the battery compartment, the TX should have a reversing switch there if it is not on the front.

Check out the review of the Blue Angels F4 in the magazine section, it took me a little tinkering to get the elevators working correctly and it's documented there.

There are various versions of this plane from a couple of manufacturers sold by Nitroplanes.

Which one specifically did you purchase? ( Link? ).

I did the Jolly Rodgers F-4E, i just moved the servo back one full length and put a nickel in the nose, flew ok.

Still don't know which one though. There are several "Jolly Rodger" F-4's.
