Mike, How Do You Set Failsafe On Eclipse QPCM?
It's probably in an obvious place but I can't find where/how to, or even if you can, set failsafe positions. Anyone know?

RE: Mike, How Do You Set Failsafe On Eclipse QPCM?
Read the manual? How novel! 
The manual that came with my Eclipse, as well as the one available for download from Hitec's website, both specifically state that the Eclipse is not compatible with PCM receivers on page 11 & 12. Yet my Eclipse is the QPCM version. The Eclipse QPCM update info on the Hitec website says "The primary advantage of the Q-PCM receiver is its ability to go into a “failsafe” or “hold” position if there is interference" so you must be able to do it.
I have posted this topic here as well as emailing Mike from Hitec directly and yet noone can give me an answer.

heheh,
ok i got myne today, and the manual came as well as 2 other sheets of paper, one of them is a document onsetting failsafe, it is for useing with the HPD-07RH reciever.
1. turn on the reciever and transmitter
2.press both edit keys to enter a loop
3. use the edit keys with arrows to find the failsafe screen, that is FAIL lnh
4.press the clear key and the screen should now read FAIL On
5. move the control sticks into the position you want them to be in when interference occurs, hold them there, and press both 'data'keys at the same time
6. you should here 2 beeps.
7. move the sticks to a different position and watch the servos, when you turn the controller off, they should move to how you programed them before
hth

Sorry for the delayed response. Mike and I have been out of town for the RCX Tradeshow in So Cal...
I obtained the information this afternoon, but see Mhale provided the info you were looking for. Thanks Mhale.
I assume you’re aware that you'll need the HPD-07RH PCM RX to utilize the failsafe features.
Have fun.

I just sent my Eclipse in to Hitec to have the updates done on it. They will update your radio with Q-PCM program and reciever for just $100.00. Nice deal so I'm going to have it done. Maybe a tuck here and there too.
