The Eclipse 7 system comes with three choices for the
helicopter’s swashplate arrangement, which may be found in
the setup menu: normal (NOR), 120° (120’), and 180°
(180’). NOR is the standard swashplate where one servo
each performs the collective pitch, elevator, and aileron
functions. 120° and 180° are intended for three-servo
swashplates needing special mixing to get the servos to
properly provide the required pitch, elevator, and aileron
functions.
