I have a Hitec Flash5 , 5 model memory computer radio, and I love it. It’s an economical computer radio that does everything I need it to do. I’m sure the Eclipse is a fine radio, a bit more sophisticated also a few more bucks, but probably a good radio. Although my friend did lose a plane with his Eclipse, but it could have been a poor battery pack (he flies electric) and not that tunable frequency thing the Eclipse has. But in general, I really like the Hitec products. If I ever get this radio filled, my next radio just might be the next model up. Then again I like the K.I.S.S Principle. “Keep It Simple Stupid”! Sometimes buying a lot of bells and whistles isn’t necessary. And certainly I’m not out to impress anybody at the field with my choice of radio. Most important thing is just having good equipment. That doesn’t always mean expensive.
