Default Hitec Eclipse 7

I have a Pitts with four aileron servos (two top and two bottom). Can anyone help with the set up with the Eclipse 7?? Completely baffled!!

thanks

I don't think that radio has enough mixing for 4 aileron servos.

I take that back... you cvould get creative and use flapperon on the bottom and creat your own (P.Mix 1 and 2) on the top. With that radio, the easiest way to do it is with Y-connectors.

[8D] Figured it out!! Bottom wing in channal 1 and top wing in channel 6. Mix channels 1 and 6 with 1 being the master and 6 the slave. Whammo, it works!!

Looking forward to flying this Cermark Pitts with the MVVS 1.6 gas turning an 18x8 Scimitar and TME Smoke system!!!! Heeee Ha!!

Why not set up the bottom wing like any monoplane, (that is using channels 1 and 6)and, either use a 'Y' connector to control the other ailerons on those channels or have them on channels 5 and 7, and mix 1 to 5 and 6 to 7?

I suppose that would work too. It's just that I was able to set it up as I indicated and and that hurdle is done. Looking forward to flying it.

Ah, I thought you wanted each servo in its own channel.
