flight controls are reversed

Posted by Joshua Copeland on August 27, 2013 at 12:57pm

Hi all,

I am sure that this is a super simple fix.  I just finished my hexacopter last weekend and was able to test fly it a few times.  However, the controls (forward/ backwards, left/right) are reversed.  When I pull down on the stick it moves forwards and when I push up on the flight stick the copter moves backwards.  The APM and compass unit are both facing forwards.  Any ideas on why this might be happening?  I am going to test fly it again tonight and will post a video of the results afterwards.

Thanks,

Josh 

I am using a Spektrum DX7 radio

    Just reverse the channel on your RC transmitter side (see the manual here). It's good idea to re-do the RC calibration in the Mission Planner after you've done that.
