Hi,

to reverse elevator servos you have to tick the CH2 servo reverse in the Servos tab.

To increase rudder travel you have to increase end points in the Limits tab (for both directions separately).
By moving the slider it will immediately show you where the limit will be.

Oh, this is problem.
Swapping two wires will not work, it will burn the servo.

It is needed to use some kind of servo signal inverter. or Spirit Pro unit which has two outputs for elevator servos.
Alternatively you will need to turn the servo around so it is in the same position as the first one.
