Hitec question for Mike Mayberry and Tony
Mike and Tony, what are the differences between the Eclipse 7 and the Optic 6 other than the additional channel? I've tried to do the complete comparison, but have been unable to find all of the necessary information. Can I download the owner's manuals for these radio systems from the Hitec website? Most of the consumers that I have contacted said that unless you absolutely need the additional channel, they would buy the Optic 6 over the Eclipse because it is a better value. Would you agree? Do these radios both offer the same programming capability when it comes to flying sailplanes? Does the Optic 6 offer anything that the Eclipse doesn't? And if I were to buy an Optic 6 off the shelf tomorrow, what are the chances that the firmware bug I've heard about would be there? Has this problem been fixed in the radios that were recently shipped? Thanks for your help.
