Here's my rationale for stating that the feature IS there:

1. "AILE Inh" is listed after FLPN in the functions menu, and it can be initialized by hitting the, "Inhibit/Clear" button. On doing that, the listed channels are 1,2 & 7. The feature returns to "AILE Inh" if the "Inhibit/Clear" button is depressed again.

2. Adapting the instructions from the AILE function configuration in the Optic 6 Owner's manual, I configured the elevators to track with the ailerons for R/L movements of the right stick, and the elevators work in unison (not opposed) for U/D movements of the right stick. The slave channel in the Optic is channel 6 in contrast to channel 7 in this Eclipse 7.

3. STRM adjustments can be made for channels 2 & 7 independently while on that menu setting; so, those miniscule adustments of each elevator half can be done.

4. The elevator halves track together with any "+/-" adjustments of the elevator digital trim in the normal mode of operation. I point to this as the "ultimate" indicator that this not some confusion on my part by using one of the programmable mixes. Every shred of information available is that in a programmed mix the elevator digital trim does NOT flow to the Slave servo.

So, I am comfortable in my mind that this Eclipse 7-channel transmitter does have the ailevator function, and the ONLY reason I called the Service Department at Hitec was to find if there was an errata sheet for the owners manual that somehow did not get sent in the box.

I won't beat this horse anymore because it can't go anywhere. As I stated previously, the documentation will eventually surface. In the meantime, I am overjoyed to have this beautiful transmitter WITH this particular feature.

OBTW: I personally don't beat horses; nor do I approve the beating thereof. [8D]
