Eclipse 7 - moving channel 3 assignment
 

I am helping a friend set-up a scale sailplane. He has been looking at an Eclipse 7 as an upgrade from his Futaba 6XAS.

here is what he wants to do.

R Aileron 1
Elevator 2
Tow release - 3 (assigned to a switch)
throttle stick ( used to contol landing mixes)
Rudder 4
R Flap 5
L Flap 6
L Aileron 7

Is this set-up possible with the Eclispe 7? If not, can you suggest an alternative set-up?

If so, how can I take channel 3 off the throttle stick and assign channel 3 to a switch to operate the tow release? We have enough channels, if we can move 3 to a switch.

Thanks!

On the Eclipse the assignments will be as follows:

channel 1- right aileron
chennel 2- elevator
channel 3- tow release (controlled by elevator D/R switch)
channel 4- rudder
channel 5- left aileron
channel 6- right flap
channel 7- left flap
(channels 6 and 7 are controlled by what would normally be the throttle stick for landing or crow function on a glider)

Thanks! Can you tell me where in the manual this is documented? Not my radio, so I don't have the book.

You just solved a BIG problem for us.

Page 8 in the manual under the glider heading shows these channel assignments.

You are the best! Hitec always comes through. And so many people told me this could not be done.

Way to go!
