Default RE: Can't get a throttle/smoke mix setup right, eclipse 7
I just finished setting up a Sullivan Skywriter Smoke Pump on my AeroWorks Edge 540 using a Hitec Eclipse 7. Here's what works for me...
Skywriter plugged into Channel 7.
PMX1 Setup with Channel 3 (throttle) the Master and Channel 7 (smoke pump) the Slave.
I adjusted the percentages so that the smoke pump comes on at about 1/2 throttle so the muffler does'nt flood with smoke oil and potentially kill the motor
Set EPA on channel 7 for proper flow amount.

Now when I want a smoke show, I flip on Channel 7 and if the throttle is past half the smoke comes pouring out!

Hope this helps...
