Hitec eclipse 7 issues
Maybe some can answer and correct this problem I am having with my Eclipse 7 in Heli mode.
I am setting up my 450 using the Eclipse 7 transmitter. All is good untill it comes to the 3 different flt modes.
I first set all dual rates off, Inn all mixing modes, and swash setting are equal in all modes.
The throttle and pitch curves are identical in all 3 modes.
In normal postion all is good, swash pitch is ok and normal operation.
In ST1 mode all is good, swash pitch is ok and normal operation.
In ST2 mode 2 of the swash servos will move out of plane and cause the pitch to rise and alerion servo of drop about 2 degrees off level plane.
Also when the Flt cond switch is moved forward ST3 will also make the servos go off center.
I have checked all trim, sub trim, dual rates, EPA points, prog mixes 1 and 2, throttle and pitch curves and cannot find where any changes to the setting have changes in these 2 modes.
Any ideas where or what I am do to get all modes the same?

Man do I feel stupid
Found the problem in the stored trims.
I checked the sub trim settings and not the trim settings for those flt modes......

Suggest reset, or try on another model number which has been reset to factory default, and start again.
The attached

. Eclipse Heading Hold Gyro Set Up
may assist.
