Vortex Landing gear

After church today I watched some of the play off games that were on for a while then went out to the shop.  I had decided to give a Corsair kit that I had started but never finished to Dan in the Toledo club.  I must have looked in every cupboard out there before I found all the parts, well most of them, there is one part of the cowl still missing.  After dinner and some more football I went out again.  I installed the Vortex retracts, hooked them all up and when I tested them the nose gear went up and the main gear went down.  They are two different brands and apparently the action is opposite.  I pondered that for a while thinking about putting in a servo reverser but I finally decided to use separate channels and reverse one in the transmitter.
