2. To set exponential for channel 1, move the arrow by pressing the
Cursor Right
or
Left
keys
repeatedly until the arrow is under or over the channel number you want. Now switch the
appropriate switch up or down, noticing the position of the arrow. You can set two values of
exponential, one for each switch position. By pressing the
Data +Increase
or
–Decrease
keys,
you can add or subtract from the numerical value displayed. Note that you may pick a value
anywhere from –100% to +100%. If you quickly want to get back to the default 0%, press
the
Active/Inhibit
(
Clear
)
key. You should understand that you won’t see changes in your
model’s servo response unless you move the sticks. To get a feel for how exponential works,
just hold partial stick and switch the Expo on and off (one side of the switch should be set to
zero expo). You’ll see how it affects the servo travel.
3. The values you set for exponential are highly dependent on both the model and pilot’s
preference. I normally recommend a start value of about –10% to -20%, and many test
flights, slowly increasing the number until things are “right”. Obviously this depends on the
pilot and model so go ahead and fly it with Expo only on one side of the switch, turn it on and
off during flight, and change things to suit yourself. Or don’t use it at all if you don’t like it
— it’s not for everyone.
4. Repeat this procedure for the expo settings on the other remaining channels.
5. Return to the regular operating mode by pressing the two
Edit Up/Down
keys simultaneously.
FLT.C
— Flight Condition Menu
Flight conditions are special functions which allow you to switch certain settings in the
Eclipse 7 transmitter in order to tailor it to different conditions of flight. For example, you might
have a scale model which is very sluggish at lower speeds (such as takeoff and landing) yet is
very sensitive at higher speeds. Or, it may need lots of rudder trim at lower speeds, but not at
higher speeds. Flight conditions allow you to choose between up to three different individual
sets of trims, dual rate settings, and exponential values. You make the change when either the
Flt. Mode
(upper left, 3-position switch) or
Flt. Cond.
(upper right, long arm, rear of transmitter)
switch is flipped.
The Eclipse 7 provides three flight conditions in addition to the normal one (NOR),
denoted ST1, ST2, and ST3 (you will see these indicators in the display). Flight conditions are a
