Introducing the ECLIPSE 7 PRO 2.4G 
Congratulations and welcome to the R/C world! You now own a basic, but unusually versatile and 
powerful, 5-Channel beginner’s RC transmitter. 
The ECLIPSE 7 PRO 2.4G is all the radio you need to fly the most of 5-Channel fixed-wings aircraft 
models. Standard features include servo-reversing for all channels, trim adjustments on all control 
channels, ATV (Adjustable Travel Volume) on Aileron (CH.1) and Elevator (CH.2). 
 
The ECLIPSE 7 PRO 2.4G features: 
 
Pre-mixed Flight Control Functions: 
The ECLIPSE 7 PRO 2.4G computer automatically mixes rudder and elevator outputs to control a V-
tail or mixes aileron and elevator outputs to create elevons for tail-less flying wings, eliminating the 
need for on-board mixing systems. 
 
Trim Adjustment Function: 
This computerized radio allows you to easily tune and coordinate the control surfaces (such as 
keeping a rudder centered or two ailerons-each on their own servo-moving the same amount) without 
having to physically re-adjust linkages. 
 
Buddy-Box Function: 
For those learning to fly, the transmitter has a "buddy-box" capability so that you can use the optional 
trainer cord to connect your ECLIPSE 7 PRO 2.4G to another Hitec transmitter (Master)*. This 
function allows one transmitter to be used by an instructor as the primary flight control while the other 
is controlled by the student pilot. 
*Note: ECLIPSE 7 PRO 2.4G
 
only can be used as a Pupil (Slave) transmitter. 
 
If you are new to Computerized RC Transmitters 
If ECLIPSE 7 PRO 2.4G is your first radio control transmitter, you're probably feeling a bit overwhelmd. 
However, if you take little time to read this manual and follow the programming steps as you watch 
your model's control surfaces respond, handling the ECLIPSE 7 PRO 2.4G will soon become quite 
comfortable. So stick with it. Learning the programming basics won't take any longer or require any 
more brain power than it takes to do the average crossword or Sudoku puzzle. 
You'll discover that the rewards for mastering this simple radio are well worth the effort. 
 
TIP: 
Throughout the manual you will see our "Tip Sheet" notes. 
These highlight specific function details we didn't want you to miss within the body of the manual. 
Check these out; they can make programming the Optic Sport easier. 
 
Hitec AFHSS 2.4GHz Technology 
Most of Hitec’s 2.4GHz product uses AFHSS (Advanced Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) 
technology which gives you highly stable one-way and telemetric signals for ensure safe flight of your 
model aircrafts.   
 
Equipment Mounting 
When you mount each servo, use the supplied rubber grommets and insert an eyelet up through the 
bottom. Be sure not to over tighten the screws. 
If any portion of the servo case directly contacts the fuselage or the servo rails, the rubber grommets 
will not be able to attenuate vibration, which can lead to mechanical wear and possible servo failure. 
 
Servo Throw 
Once you have installed the servos, operate each one over its full travel and check that the pushrod 
and output arms do not bind or collide with each other, even at extreme trim settings. 
Check to see that each control linkage does not require undue force to move (if you hear a servo 
buzzing when there is no transmitter control motion, most likely there is too much friction in the control 
or pushrod). 
Even though the servo will tolerate loads like this, they will drain the battery pack much more rapidly
