Default Blade CP

Just got my first heli, looked them all over and I thought for the bucks the E-Flite Blade CP was the best.

Having a blast with it and just starting to get the hang of hovering without hitting anything.

I posted a question on another thread but thought I would start another due to having more questions and try to tap the knowledge base.

Question #1:
I was wondering if I could use my Hitec Eclipse 7 or my Tracker III transmitter with this unit. I was going to program some exp into the the controls to make my movements more suttle and maybe help the learning curve. I have not been able to get the computer transmitters to work (so far) with the E-flite receiver. The little red light flashes then turns green for 1 flash and then red/green. I am not sure if I have the channels set up correctly for the 4 functions.

Question #2:
If I cannot get the trans working, I noticed that the push rods are at the very end of each servo. I know that moving them inward will reduce the throw but then I think I will be readjusting all the controls. My thoughts were if i cant get exp programed in then I can reduce the travel to help make the control movements smoother.

Anyone got any helpful info???

thanks in advance for your help.....
