Default Hitec Eclipse

Does anybody out there use this radio? I just got mine today and was wondering if anybody here used them. It seems to be a really nice system and I'm sure I will love it. The only complaint I have is the lack of crow function in Acro mode. I knew of this before I bought it so it wasn't a suprise. I guess I have to hook flaps to one switch and spoilerons to another. Any suggestions on how to program this? This is my first nice radio and I'm kinda in the dark. The manual seems to be very informative, just need to get the time to read it I guess.

Thanks for any response,

Just got mine (spectra model), but was disappointed to see no PCM modulation capability. I swore I saw somewhere on a SLOOOOOOWER website that this would do both like the Prism 7. Am I missing the page in the instruction book, or did I buy a new radio that makes my 4 Hitec PCM receivers useless?

The Eclipse does not have PCM capabilities. Damn good radio otherwise though.

Warjet- The Eclipse will do positive and negative shift so it will work with all brands of FM receivers, but not PCM.

Great radio. lots of time on mine and you can really look good with that throttle cut button. By the way Hitec servo arm's are the best and they come with it.
