look like this;-

12. You're done!! Exit from Programming mode (first two buttons at the same time on the bot-

tom left) hook up your ECO (engine disconnected still) and move the throttle, the swash

should now move up and down smoothly.

Some quick notes that may come in handy;-

• You may need to reverse some servos.

• Pitch and throttle curves must be setup now to complete the setup

9.2.2. Hitec Eclipse 7 and yaw rate gyros

The Eclipse 7 revo mixing seems to be based on the throttle curve, not the stick position.

Therefore when flying a CP heli with a yaw rate gyro, you will need to configure a program-

mable mix to mix the pitch channel into the rudder channel.

9.2.3. Hitec Eclipse 7 bug

Some of the older Eclipse 7s have a firmware where if you pull the throttle down all the way,

the throttle will go to 100% instead. This is very dangerous - if you are buying a used Eclipse 7

beware of this bug.

The JR 10X Airplane does not support helicopter modes and is not recommended for flying

helicopters.

9.3. Transmitter tray

A transmitter tray can help your helicopter flying skills. It holds the transmitter at a natural

angle which allows better control of the joysticks. Petal Manufacturing makes nice transmitter

tray which works with most transmitter models.

9.4. Transmitter hand position

There are two basic ways of controlling the transmitter joysticks: either thumb and forefinger

(sometimes called "pinch"), or thumb only.

If you have no prior R/C aircraft experience, then the preferred way to control the joysticks is
