Default New Eclipse 7 problems ..... help

When checking the Shift I also made sure it was set on PPM mode, I'm 100% certain it is correct. The setup is correct, I've verified it with fellow flyers tonight.

After a night at the field, I ranged checked my spad (1st plane I refered too) and got glitches from 100ft away at certain positions. With the antenea extended, they went away. I went ahead and flew it for about 10 minutes with no noticeable problems. The battery pack on my edge went out tonight, so I didn't even get to reliably check it.

A person I fly with let me program on his airtronics setup. He walked out with his TX and range checked, nothing at all, no glitches, I walk out with mine and get a glitch ever so often. I cannot fly one of my good planes with confidence when I turn the old TX on and get totally different results. Even with the low battery on my Edge, my focus 4 made no servo ticking noises, with the eclipse they ALL start buzzing very faintly.

After some inspection of the Eclipse 7 box it has a very noticeable dent in the side that continues to the foam and is also on the side of the cardboard box, I suspect fedex might have dropped the package.

Tommorow I'll post results of the OMP edge range check.
