Ihave a SN Hobbies Cessna 206 (junk) that I replaced one of the ailiron servos. The new servo operates backwards (both alirons move the same). What is the problem?

Hi ezbay35150
If you post a photo showing both servos someone can make a suggestion. Are both servos connected together thru a "Y" harness?

Something is not right, then.
The aileron servos are symmetrically installed; hence, they should be connected in paralell (using a Y-connector) and rotating in the same direction respect to each servo case, so one aileron deflects up while the other deflects down.
The flap servos operate differently, so each rotates in the opposite direction respect to the other, deflecting both ailerons at once.
Does your wing have three connectors?

Any time you change brands of servos, you have a 50/50 chance of the one brand turning in the opposite direction of the other brand when given the same input.
