Default Hitec Eclipse 7 cyclic adjustment

im by far not an expert but I just went thru this on my bird.
you need to turn off hh (if you have it)
revmixing and such and all your trims and sub trims need to be 0.
youll need to get the mechanicall linkages as close as possible to
not bind then use epa to fine adjust. you shouldnt have to adjust any further than 85-90 on your epa. if you do then your mech is outta whack.
it took me a good 4 hours playin before I finally got it acceptable.
you can trymoving the linkage closer or further away from the servo center point as well. this will effectivly change your travel.
you should mostlikely leave your swah in the nor setting. depending on your bird of course.
page 15 number 34 tells you how to set epa. its in the airplane section but its the same principal.
I hope this sheds some light
I resist the idea of moving the links closer to the servo because the arms are long on purpose to keep the throw as linear as possible. I guess that this means that it would be an expected problem that the servo throw would have to be limited as a result. My problem is that I don't understand how end point adjust affects swash mixing, and the manual doesn't tell me.
