Cleaning Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or a dry lint free cloth.
Bearings
Replace bearings when they become damaged.
Wiring Make sure wiring does not block moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors.

Advanced Tuning (Forward Programming)
The following applies to forward programming capable Spektrum transmitters. Consult your transmitter manual or visit SpektrumRC.com for a complete list
of forward programming capable transmitters.
The Blade Eclipse 360 default settings are appropriate for most users. We
recommend flying with the default parameters before making any adjustments.
The Blade Eclipse 360 BNF flight controller may be programmed from any
compatible Spektrum transmitter (visit SpektrumRC.com for more information).
Entering the Advanced Parameters Menu
With the helicopter bound to the transmitter and powered on, enter the Function List and select Forward Programming. Make small changes to one parameter at a time
and test fly the changes before changing the parameter further or changing a different parameter. If at anytime you want to restore the default value for a parameter
simply press the [RESET] button on IX radios screen or the [Clear] button on DX and NX transmitters and the default value for that parameter will be restored to the
recommended value for your specific BNF model.
