Default Eclipse7 and dual rates

Hi Mike,

First off, I love my Eclipse.
I am, unfortunately, having some difficulty with the dual-rate switches. I set up the aileron and elevators switches, back = 50%, forward = 100%. All seems fine. But then I go to use the dual rates and sometimes the settings "stick".

For example. Turn on radio w/ switches back, ground check my airplane, switch the aileron dual rate switch forward (100%), but it doesn't "take". Throws stay at 50%. Hmmmm.... play with the sticks some more, toggle the Ail DR switch a couple times and voila.... now DR works as advertised. I would assume I have a bad DR switch, but it happens on all 3 DR channels (Ail, Ele, Rud).

1- Am I the only person seeing this?
2- Is this somehow user error? (wouldn't be the 1st time I messed up)

Thanks for your impressive customer service.
