Getting reverse thrust on a diy build.

[Hotern]

I have built my first diy plane and I choose the Flight Test Alpha. I followed the instructional video. When it came time to start installing the Flight Test Power Pack F I followed the video and bought the servo tester so I could hook it up to the engine and make sure that the engine is turning counterclockwise as indicated with an arrow on the engine. I installed the prop with the letters facing the direction that i want to fly as it says in the video. All this was done as instructed in the video and yet my plane wants to fly backwards and i have no idea why. Any help???

3 wires from the esc to the motor ....change any two ,will reverse the motor direction...

You can swap two wires as suggested to resolve your problem easily enough.

Just remember the labeling on the motor is for a tractor configuration where the motor faces forward.

If the motor is facing aft it becomes a pusher configuration and needs to spin the opposite direction with the numbers on the prop pointing at the front of the plane

Alright I will do that. Thank everyone for the help.
