9.2.1. Hitec Eclipse 7 with 90 CCPM

This is not supported directly by the transmitter, and must be done using programmable mixes.

This was taken from the Ikarus Forums:

Quick guide on how to set up your Hitec Eclipse 7 for the ECO 8 using the stock 90 deg swash

without the need for mechanical mixing.

First thing you need to do is set up your RX like this;

• Channel 1 - Aileron. Left servo on swashplate.

• Channel 2 - Elevator. Rear servo on swashplate.

• Channel 3 - Throttle. Goes to the ESC.

• Channel 4 - Rudder. Tail servo.

• Channel 6 - Pitch. Right servo on swashplate.

Now we move to the TX. Use the manual to set yourself up a 180 degree swashplate heli-

copter.

OK, here is where we actually get the swash to work correctly. If you turn you RX and TX on

(engine disconnected please) and increase and decrease the throttle you will see that the

swashplate tilts back and forth. This is not desired behavior. What we need to do is get those

pitch movements working on the servo on the back (Channel 2).

To do this we are going to use one of the Programmable Mixers on the TX. To do this we have

to enter "Programming Mode", it is done like this;-

1. Make sure your ECO's battery is disconnected and your TX is on (and your ECO is selec-

ted)

2. Hit the first two buttons at the same time on the bottom left (Edit up and down, not Engine

lock cut). The TX should now have something like EPA 100% on it.

3. Hit the Edit up button (First button on the left) 6 times until you see PMX1 inh (stands for

Programmable Mixer 1 Inhibit).

4. Hit the Active/Inhibit button (Last button on the Right) the display will change and have a

lot of junk on it.

5. Select the Master Channel by hitting the Cursor Right button (4th button).

6. Set the Master Channel to 6 by hitting the Data Increase button 5 times (5th Button).

7. Select the Slave Channel by hitting the Cursor Right button (4th button).

8. Set the Slave Channel to 2 by hitting the Data Increase button once (5th Button).

9. Select the Mix Ratio by hitting the Cursor Right button (4th button).

10. Select the Mix Ratio to 70% by hitting the Data Decrease button 30 times (6th Button, and
