Flight Conditions

Your Eclipse 7 system's HELI menu provides three flight conditions in addition to the
normal one (NOR). Within each condition, you may program an independent set of dual rates,
exponentials, throttle and pitch curves, revolution mixing, and gyro gain. In the HELI menus,
these are automatically called up whenever you switch to a new condition. (In ACRO and
GLID, you have to activate them manually.)
NOR is intended for hovering flight. ST1 may be used for forward flight and mild
aerobatics, ST2 may be used for inverted, and ST3 is used for autorotations as it includes a
throttle hold feature which disengages the throttle servo from collective commands. These
conditions are activated whenever the model memory is chosen to be HELI type.
These flight conditions are switched on as follows:
• NOR:
ON
• ST1:
, when Flt. Mode Switch centered
ON
• ST2:
when Flt. Mode Switch is forward.
ON
• ST3:
when Flt. Cond Switch is forward.
ON
As these functions are switched on or off, ST3 =
. Regular settings (NOR) occur when all of the others are off. You can see which
ST2 and ST1
condition your transmitter is currently in by viewing the display. The current condition may be
found flashing in the lower right of the TRIM display.
