I have a Sabre that I use for goofing around with after work. Question, Both of the stock sero's burned out. So I took a look at the servo mounts and noticed a HS-55 fits near perfectly. Since I had a few spare ones laying around I decided to put them to use. The problem, the servos move in the wrong direction. This is no problem when you have a computer radio where you can switch servo travel directon. But the funky radio that comes with the Sabre does not have that option. I tried taking the radio apart to see if any plugs inside can be swapped and that was a no go. If I flip the servos over then the output shaft is too low and the link is not long enough to reach the swash. Has anyone tried this modification to a Sabre?

Hotrod,

The servos on my Sabre went South (but after quite a bit of airtime) but my radio has reversing switches. There are DIP Switches on the back of the TXm(upper left as you face the back of the transmitter.

I believe switches 1-4 are the reverse switches for the four channels (do not touch the others).

Make sure that you do not accidentally revers throttle (people have done it).

The Saber flies will, although it does not like wind. I picked a second one up to teach my son how to fly on.

Good luck!!!
