i just finished remodifying my Cesnna 182 .52 size, i changed the triangle
landing gear for a frontal one with 2 x 100 mm wheels & added flaps.
Looks more like a Cessna 180 now. Necessity since i fly over ruff terrain.

For the flaps i got 3 solutions for reverse a servo:

#1) Buying a servo reverser, it's only 2$ but i don't wanna wait 2-3 weeks before receiving it.

#2) Reversing the servo itself by inverting wires inside the servo,has shown here :

But in a 9 gr. servo it's harder.

#3) Inverting the Black & Red wires on one side of a Y servo harness,
wich is a method i only heard of threw the grapewines,
i don't if it works (That's my question) :?:

OK Bill thanx.
if i think about it Yes it will be servo facing opposite current.
(but i still like my drawing)lol

Has for the grapevines, i saw that on RcDiscuss about 2 years ago.
I quat that forum on the same period due to voluntary misleading informations.
Some people were playing games over there, like they would keep the info just for them.
Some others quat also, one made is own forum.
To many SOB's over @ Rc Disgust :mrgreen:

I did #2 with an HXT900. I'm no professional and it wasn't that hard.

Does your transmitter not have servo reversing?That would be very rare these days.
Otherwise your best option is no2.

Hobby King sells a servo reverser for a couple of bucks. Works Great! I have a couple of planes with split elevators and need one of the servos to work in the other direction. Turnigy Servo Signal Reverser PRODUCT ID: SIG-REV

Get the HK reversing cables... I had rudder and nose wheel where one needed reversing... Worked great...
