Will the Eclipse 7 work with my dragonfly?
hi all
i recently got an eclipe 7 for my piccolo pro and i was wondering if can work with my feda dragonfly. Also, if it will work, can some one tell me how to set the tx up.
thanks
mike

yes it'll work...
just set the throttle trim linear... 0-25-50-75-100
if you have a hh gyro or a mixing board just set revo mixing to zero, that's about it pretty basic and straight forward.
Of course make sure the swash setting is for normal..

thanks for the quick reply
but my problem is setting up the tx so that the rx will recieve it. i have the spectra model for the eclipse so i know it is not a problem with the crystals. i dont know how to make the tx and rx work together.

Well, just make sure it's a 72mhz receiver and that it's negative shift. From there all you have to do is dial in on the crystal channel the receiver's on.

If your original dragonfly transmitter was PCM then you are probably out of luck. PCM is different from manufacturer to manufacturer, so with PCM, the transmitter and receiver generally have to be from the same manufacturer. The Hitec PCM probably won't work with the drgonfly receiver. If your dragonfly has a separate receiver, you could replace just that, but if it has an all in one board, you would have to replace everything.
