And for the DF36 and Blade CP, I'll need 90°, right? That should make things confusing for me. I guess I won't just turn it on and start flying


DF36 is not CCPM, you can use any radio with the heli mode which will automatically mix the throttle channel (ch3 in Hitec) to the pitch (ch6 in Hitec).

Blade CP, you have to activate the 120 degree CCPM mode.

Nice thing for the Eclipse7, one radio for up to 7 models, you can change tx channel with the spectra module.

It's HERE. I can't believe how fast I got. It's beautiful
Wow, this thing has a very high KPD ratio. I'd like to get it going on my Blade CP right away to try it out, but I suppose I'll have to read the manual first to figure it all out. I've got it charging now.
It's a nice fit in my hands, too.

Yes good stuff.

I've been replacing the RX's on most of my helis with the Hitec's.

Status: offline 		hi there,
can somebody answer my question,
I bought a receiver PC board for my walkera#10,
it's a 72M one & marked with # 72.79M on a crystal inserted into that board,
but my exsiting crystals come with the heli (bought from other shop)
is 72.87M, so I don't know if the board will work with my existing 72.87M crystals
or even I replace the 72.79M crystal (on the board) with my 72.87M one to match another
72.87M crystal inserted to my transmitter??? [image][/image][image][/image]

Status: offline 		I can't get the Eclipse7 to work with my DF4 Rx, so I guess that's not possible. I think I'm doing everything right. I have an Esky 0702 4in1 coming for it anyway. Maybe I'll try to get it to work with my Blade CP. If I can only figure out what to do.

Status: offline 		I got the Blade CP to respond to the Eclipse7, but the motor won't start. I don't even know which switch controls idle up mode

I think I've got all the Rev and Nor settings right (don't know about rudder, though) but the swash is way off center. Can anyone pass on some settings? This is getting complicated

Status: offline 		Slotcar,
I can't help you since I don't own the blade, but just stick to it with the TX. It can get a little complicated when you get thrown into the thick of things with computer programming of swash settings. If your swash is totally messed up, your servos are probably reversed. When you move the throttle up and down, the servos should of course move up and down together smoothly, if they're moving in different directions you need to go into the REV menu, and use the active/inhibit button to change the direction of whatever servo is misbehaving.

If the motor is not starting up, it's likely your throttle curve may not be setup properly (or is set to 0's all across). Or you're in flight mode 4 (throttle hold) or you've got the throttle cut button pressed at the bottom of the TX. Read your way through the manual a few times to fully understand how everything interacts. When in Heli mode, make sure your initial setup is done in "normal" mode as it will use those settings for every subsequent mode (idle 1, idle 2, etc.)

Also,

I can't get the walkera 4in1 to work with the eclipse 7 either, which means it'll only work with Walkera TX's since the eclipse 7 works with virtually any standard FM receiver. I'd be willing to bet your esky 4in1 will work with the eclipse 7 though.

Hueyman,

The TX's I got that work with other RX's were back when the transmitters were based on the zhen hua protocol. I'm told the newer versions of the transmitters don't use this anymore. Perhaps thats why yours doesn't work? No idea, just throwing ideas around here .

Status: offline 		The problem with the motor not starting is not an accurate statement. What actually happens is the Rx won't fully initiate, and it's behaving like the throttle safety feature on the Rx is causing it. It's like turning the heli on with the throttle not set to zero.
I shouldn't be looking for shortcuts, it's just that I'm anxious to try this Tx and I've got so much work to do planning and designing the new SuperSkids products for my partners that I don't really have time to spend reading the manual thoroughly right now, or doing anything else for myself, for that matter.
The Esky 4in 1 that I have coming for my DF4 is identical to the Blade CP 4in1. The only difference it that the DF4 is FP so it should be easier to set up the Eclipse for this.

Status: offline 		GTX SlotCar,

Eclipse7 on Blade CP:
Refer to the manual in the Heli section. Since Eclipse has the ACRO, GLID and HELI function, you have to program the Eclipse in the Heli mode,activate the 120 CCPM, you can forget the idle up, pitch curve and throttle curve for the time being and use the default one, make sure the "Ft Mode" switch on the left top corner and the "Ft Cond" switch on the right top corner is all the way back for NORMAL flight.
1, unplug the main motor and tail motor from 4 in 1
2, remove all 3 servo arms from the servos to prevent servo gear stripping when the Rx initialize since they may not in the neutral position.
3, in order for the Blade 4 in 1 to initialize, throttle channel should be at Normal position, move the throttle trim to -30 or more, if it does not work, then you have to adjust the end point adjustment (EPA) of the throttle channel, try extend the end point adjustment to 125.
4, once you get the solid green light, you can test the main motor and tail motor control.
