Note: A procedure for adjusting revolution mixing is given in a table on page 97.

Revolution Mixing Programming

1. Call up the revolution mixing screen by repeatedly pressing one of the

Up Down Edit

buttons

until the

RVMX

window appears. The function is active with 0% mixing turned on. Put the

throttle stick to its idle position.

RVMX 0

ST1 ST2 NOR

L/U

2. Now press the

Data +Increase

key. This will increase the percentage of RVMX mixing for

the low side of throttle. You may set a value of 0% to 100% for this side. If you wish to

return the mixing percentage to the default 0% value, press the

Active/Inhibit (Clear)

key.

3. Move the throttle stick to a position above half-throttle, and change the percentage number to

suit.

4. Now verify that the rudder responds both the correct direction and amount for travel on both

sides when throttle is commanded.

5. Set up the RVMX values for the other flight conditions (ST1, ST2) by flipping the Flt. Mode

switch and repeating these procedures.

SWAH

— Swashplate adjust (120’, 180’ only)

The swashplate menu is intended only for helicopters whose collective pitch is

controlled by more than a single servo at a time, and is sometimes referred to as CCPM

(Collective & Cyclic Pitch Mixing). The Eclipse 7 contains settings for 120' and 180'

swashplates. Consult your model's setup instructions to find out which you need.

When you move the collective stick, all swashplate servos should move in the same

direction and the same amount to lift or drop the swashplate without tilting. If the swashplate

should tilt to one side when you command collective, one or more servos is moving the wrong

direction or the wrong amount, and must be adjusted in the SWAH menu. If the swashplate

moves down when pitch should be increasing or vice versa, change the sign in front of all three

servos from (+) to (–) or vice versa. For reference, there is no SWAH menu in the NOR menu,

but the other two swash types do contain the SWAH menu. The swash default settings are

shown below.

NOR 120' 180'

No SWAH menu CH1 +70%, CH2 +70%, CH6 +70% CH1 +70%, CH6 +70%
