i have spent well over an hour trying to get my servo's right, i set up my trex, leveled the swash and made sure my pitch was good... i finally think i have it ready to fly and then i notice something, when i turn my cyclics right, they go right, left they go left, throttle goes up and down like it's supposed too, but when i push my cyclics foreward and back they are reversed....

i have tried reversing my elevator, wich fixed the problem but made my pitch reversed, the swash would go down when i pushed up...

i spent forever reversing different things, even switching my left and right servo leads in the reciever...nothing seems to work, i always end up with my begining situation or something els ends up reversed, it's like a rubix cube i can't figure out the combination to get everything working right.

i will say this, i know it's somehow possible, because at one point i had everything working right... i took it outside to test and ended up knocking the batteries loose inside my dx6i, apparently after that it reverted to the last saved settings (i tried reversing throttle, and after the blades started spinning in throttle hold i turned off the receiver in panic, stupid i know...)anyways of course it started spinning up in throttle hold again right as it innitialized and flipped out and exploded in my garage, ruined a brand new set of align blades i bought today just for testing out my new trex...

what am i doing wrong???i just wasted an entire day of flying, one of the last truelly perfect days of the year!!

Actually this should be an easy fix, jump into your remote settings and pull up your swash mix menu. go to where it says elevator. if the number is a positive (75) then switch it to a negative (-75)

whamo! You may need to re-level your swash if any of your links are different lengths!

yep, look in the swash menu(futaba) or swash mix (spektrum) and try reversing values one setting at a time until you get the right movement

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! a full day of messing with it and thats all i had to do!!!! wow i am so relieved!!! now i am off to go trim my tail...

If individual servos are moving the wrong direction use the Reverse menu in the tx.
If groups of servos are all moving the wrong direction use Swash Mix (+/-) in the tx.

haha i just went through that because i realized my swash mix for my rudder was negative and my reverse was also negative, lol last night i changed those , yet the thought never occurred to me to use it on this problem...go figure...

No worries, lol.

I had a couple of those, now they're 4 and 5 1/2.
Unfortunately it doesn't get any better at that age.
