may set each channel separately, anywhere in between 0% and 125%, and if you wish to
rapidly return to the default 100% setting, press the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key.
5. Return to the regular operating mode by pressing the two

keys simultaneously.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully programmed your system!
D/R
— Dual Rates
If this is your first computer radio, you may have never been introduced to dual rates
before. Dual rates are used because most models respond more rapidly to control inputs while
they’re flying at higher speeds, and it is possible to be really gentle with the controls and yet still
over-control. Dual rates are used to adjust the transmitter so that a control actuated at high speed
will not cause a radical response, so they are very useful for beginning pilots as well as experts.
Dual rates are invoked by flipping the dual rate switches on the transmitter. The
Eclipse
7
has three dual rate switches, one each for ailerons, elevator, and rudder. The aileron dual rate
switch is located over the right-hand stick; the elevator dual rate switch is located over the left-
hand stick, and the rudder dual rate switch is to the right of the elevator switch. The amount of
travel reduction or increase may be set anywhere between 0 and 125%. Note: if you set the
dual rate amount to zero, you will get no response from that channel, which may cause a
crash.
If you have flight conditions active, you can select different amounts of dual rates for
each flight condition.
Inputting Dual Rate Values
1. Get to the
D/R
screen with the
Edit Up Down
keys.
2. The active channel number is indicated by the arrow above or below the channel numbers.
The arrow’s position depends on the position of that channel’s dual rate switch. In the figure,
the aileron (CH1) dual rate setting at the D/R switch’s lower position is being programmed.

3. Use the
Data +Increase
or
–Decrease
key to choose the amount of dual rate for that switch
position. You may set the travel for both sides of the switch simply by flipping the switch to
the other position (the arrow will also switch sides). If you wish to return to the original
100% value, press the Active/Inhibit (Clear) key.
4. Press the
Cursor Right
key to move to another channel you wish to input dual rate settings.
