    Heng Long barrel elevation direction

    I was looking at the Heng Long standard transmitter controls and in my mind the barrel elevation control would feel backwards to me.
    Can you reverse directional output from a Heng Long transmitter? If not, looking at the wiring and the fact that the barrel elevation is just a motor and not a 3wire servo, could you just reverse the wires to reverse the barrel elevation command?

    Yes you can swap the wires around. I have to do this when changing to Tamiya control MFUs.

      Feels backwards to me too, Beeg. I think I'll be swapping wires also.

        It felt backwards to me at first also. I think it comes from flying rc aircraft the way the elevator control works.
