Hi, got a good deal on the above RC from local model shop. Now having regrets as the terminology is the handbook is for aircraft. I intend to use this system for my 1/96 type 12 frigate, I require the system to control both the turret and director both on seperate servos on a Y lead from the same channel, the twin motor power units via ESC (do I need 2), rudder and seacat and director both setup as for turret. I would also like to have all 3 rader ariels turning. Any tips and help would be most welcome.
Many thanks Gaz

You think you have it bad ,no not relay i have the eclipse 7 and yes it is primarily for the 35MHz guys which is what i originally bought it for .
I have managed to convert mine for use with marine firstly by removing the 35MHz module and replacing with a 40MHz one , and the other thing was to remove the return spring from ch2 so both 2 and 3 are now on ratchets .
the main thing is to re write the manual for marine .
ch 1= aileron X
ch 2= elevator X starboard engine
ch 3= throttle* yes and port engine
ch 4= rudder* yes
i hope i got these the right way round :embarrassed:
you can use the vr's for servo switches and to control the speed of radars ,and don't forget you can use the program mixers to ,say slow the motors on the port side when turning to port and visa versa ,just got to work out how to do it :-\ lol.

The Optic 6 is quite a clever unit but don't let that put you off.
First thing to do is draw out on a sheet of paper the controls you have available on the transmitter.
Then decide what you want each control to do ( which function it will be assigned to ).
Look up in the manual which 'channel' is assigned to that control on the transmitter.
Plug the servo that works each function into the assigned channel in the receiver...
Simple huh! ::)
