I'm new to radios and flying generally (Heli's). I was sent the Hitech Eclipse 7 radio by a mailer order dealer, with my new Hawk IV heli kit.

It turns out that the local club boys fly using Futaba and other similar radios - no one around here has the Eclipse.

Can they link their radios to my Eclipse 7 (via a 'buddy box', as they call it) while I'm training? They are not sure if our radio connections are compatible.

Thanks for any help.
