Planet Eclipse SLS Specs

Posted: 12 Feb 2010 12:23 PM PST

There are 3 new key features to the Planet Eclipse SLS

1.) A new SL3 In-Line Regulator and Regulator mount
2.) Modification of the Cure3+ with inclusion of three different Bolt Inserts
3.) Full SLS-to-PC communications

The E-Portal is an application that provides a means of communicating with an Eclipse SLS through the familiar Windows(tm) environment and will give the user control over all aspects of the SLS firmware. (I guess Mac users are SOL)

Capabilities of the E-Portal
- Firmware Update from PE
- Control and Save different settings
- Change the boot screen image

I don’t really know the actual mechanical differences between the SL3 regs and the other Eclipse regs but apparently it has:
- higher flow capability
- new seal configuration
and some other things that make your velocity more stable

The Cure3+ bolt with interchangeable parts is basically pick the bolt that tickles your fancy
- Ego10 bolt
- Pepper pot bolt design
- Muffler bolt design

Other SL parts
- Zick2 kit
- OOPS on/off
- 2 triggers (“S” shaped and classic shaped)
- 2 valve guides
- adjustable LPR
- custom MAC solenoid valve
- 5-piece SL barrel kit

weight: 834g or 1.84 lbs with barrel, battery, and OOPS
length: 531mm or 20.9 in
height: 214mm or 8.43 in
width: 26.5mm or 1.04 in

There will be a limited run of 300-350 and all original owners get to add some flare to their PBNation account because they get a special badge

Significant Features of the SLS
Bespoke SL SLS Body
Bespoke SL Cure3+ Bolt with Insert Kit – Three Different Bolt Inserts
Bespoke SL Circuit Board With USB Interface – Cable and Software Included
Bespoke SL SL3 Inline Regulator
Bespoke SL Dual Triggers – "S" and "Classic" Style Triggers Included

Planet Eclipse SLS

Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:44 PM PST

I don’t believe the specs have been released yet but I’m guessing that it’ll be just like any other ego out there just slightly lighter and maybe some more fancy stuff to mess with on the board.

NPPL Ref Clinic

Posted: 11 Feb 2010 04:39 PM PST

It’s not really a clinic, it’s more of a tryout. This NPPL ref tryout will be held on March 6 and 7 at Camp Pendleton Park.

Applicants will learn the ins and outs of being a NPPL ref and afterwards get in field practice by reffing games between XSV and Dynasty. NPPL staff and pro players will be on site to judge and critique.
