Not normal. If you are just running one it would be easier to have it on the right side.

No. You can install the horn after the servo is mounted.

- Mount the servo.

- Power on so it centers.

- Install arm pointing straight up. The linkage can bolt to the bracket off the arm if needed.

- Some servos require you run them on the reverse setting on your radio.

Horn should be on the back side of the servo.
 
yup, old age kicked in and had a brain fart and forgot which way it went, had to take apart and start again LOL!
 
Re: servo question

If the horns on the back side it should line up unless the steering link is shortened... Might have to turn it to make longer or shorter
