PROGRAMING ECLIPSE 7

I am trying to program the flaps function into the three position switch in such a way that each position can add a given percentage of flaps. I have tried the land function and the flaperon function but don't much care for the VR 1 operation since the potentiometer starts in the middle and can go either way with no center "feel" when operating by touch/feel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ron H

Which model Eclipse?, please refer to:
Hitec Eclipse & Eclipse 7 Pro
- All Manuals, Addenda, Quick Setup, CCPM and Additional Programming FAQ

If original Eclipse 7 with rotary pot on top, there were two types.
The later version had an extension and the earlier ones can be drilled and tapped to take
a 4/40 bolt which then acts as a lever and easy to align centre with a small marker.

Thanks Alan I appreciate the quick return and the info. I assume that it impossible to program the flight mode switch to this purpose. I like the idea of making a lever out of a knob and will do that.

Thanks again,
