Default Servo/radio issues

Having some issues with servo or the radio not sure of which is causing my problem. Symptoms are this:
When I power on the radio (just binded new yesterday) the front wheels instantly turn all way to the right and when i try to turn left the furthest it goes is back to the center.
Not sure if i need to maybe Flip the servo around, Or if its my radio trim and stuff im using a New flysky gtb3

Any Suggestions? I think its a AX2 Servo (Stock Axial Servo)

did you center the servo before you hooked up the linkage?

Yup, gotta do what CH said.
When ever I bind a new set up, I always leave the arm off, power it up and the servo centers and then put the arm on.

Also, I've noticed that it can all be centered and then if you "flip direction", it changes the servo center and you will need to remount the arm.

try this: make sure all your radio trims are set to zero. take off your servo horn and turn your esc on. the servo will center itself. now put the servo horn back on at the new centered position, adjust your epa's and set your trim if needed.
