Model Setup Functions

Wing & Swashplate Type Selection

If you are using the glider (GLID) or helicopter (HELI)

setting menus, you must tell the Eclipse 7Pro system what

type of model you are using. In the case of a glider, you have

to specify whether it has two (2WNG) or four (4WNG)

wing servos (most slope gliders use two wing servos, and

competition gliders use four wing servos, two each for

outboard and inboard ailerons and flaps). Helicopters may

have one servo each for blade angle, roll and pitch(NOR)

or they may use three servos in concert on the swash to

provide these functions (120’, 140`,180’). Note that these

menus will not be available unless you have selected the

GLID or HELI model types.

Selecting the Wing or Swashplate Type

1. Select the GLID or HELI

model type in the Model Type

Select menus (see above).

2. With the transmitter

switched off, turn on your

transmitter while pressing

both of the two Edit keys

(the two keys on the far left).

The model select (M.SEL)

menu will be displayed.

3. Press the Up or Down

arrow keys: In the GLID

mode, you’ll enter the wing

setup menu, and WING will be highlighted: If you’re in HELI

mode, SWASH will be highlighted and you can select from

three swashplate types: NOR, 120’,140` and 180’

If you’re happy with the wing or swash type that is

displayed, go on to the next step. If you wish to change

the wing or swashplate type from that displayed, press on

the Left or Right Cursor buttons until the wing/swash

type you want appears. CAUTION: if you change types,

you may lose settings in the menus.

4. Press the Up or Down arrow keys to get to another

setup menu, or switch power off.

5. Switch power back on. You may now set up the

details of your model in the Edit mode.
