9g Metal Gear Servo Reverse: Mastering RC Plane Control

Ready to take your RC plane game to the next level? This guide dives into the crucial world of reversing 9g metal gear servos, essential for precise control of your favorite models like the F4U, T-28D, P-39, Avantis, SU-27, J-11, Rafale, F-86, and P51. Understanding servo reversal can be the difference between a smooth landing and a crash landing!

Common Parts & Replacement Wires

Let's break down the essentials. Your typical 9g metal gear servo features a robust gear train designed for durability. However, you might need to modify or replace wires to achieve the desired reversed control direction. Focus on the wire connections - often the signal wire (typically white, yellow, or orange) is the key to understanding reverse polarity.

• Signal Wire: Crucial for control input. Reversing this is key.
• Power Wires: Usually red (+) and brown/black (-). Ensure correct polarity.
• Replacement Wires: Always have a stock of spare servo wires on hand!

Reverse Methods

There are several ways to reverse a servo. The simplest involves reversing the control signal in your radio transmitter. More advanced methods include opening up the servo and swapping the motor wire connections, or utilizing servo reversers. Always consult your servo's specifications.

Experiment and practice with your RC planes (F4U, T-28D, P-39, etc.) to find the best method for your setup.

Happy Flying!
