Master Techs Hit the UK

With the impending release of the Eclipse Etha we invited a selection of our Master Technicians over to Manchester early in September to attend a secret Etha testing session and get some hands-on experience with our latest creation. The testing was scheduled to take place at the Staargate Super 6 event in Wakefield, so rather than rush around like lunatics on the Sunday morning, Gerry Bates (PE USA), Snypi (Paintball.de) and Cheveux (CAMP) elected to fly into town on the Saturday morning and have a day to acclimatise. Rather than waste a day it was off to Conway with Ledz and Eilidh to take a step back in time at Conway Castle and sample some real Fish and Chips!

Sunday rolled round and our eclectic mix of Technicians were joined by our R+D guru's Flash and Jack as well as our sales manager, Tom Rust. Whilst playing styles and levels of enthusiasm varied; one factor was consistent throughout the day - Etha was bringing smiles to the faces of everyone who used it as they immediately appreciated the mass appeal it would generate. Tired but satisfied, everyone slept well on Sunday night in preparation for a days of intensive Etha training at our new Headquarters in Manchester on Monday morning. It was the first time that Gerry, Snypi and Cheveux had seen our new offices and warehouse and having all previously visited our old premises, the looks on their faces were priceless!

Having a full day's play with Etha under their collective belts already, meant that many of the usual impending questions had already been answered and they could begin disassembling the marker under the watchful guidance of Jack Wood. Jack spent the morning detailing the finer points of Etha's mechanical operation, detailing the parts that would require lubrication and maintenance whilst highlighting the features of design that promoted the reliability and durability that we wanted to feature highly in the Etha. After a short break for lunch to sample yet another English Chippy, our three amigos were educated on all of the Electrical aspects of the Etha ; mentored this time by Flash. The surprised looks continued when they were informed that Etha will carry an identical warranty policy to every other Eclipse marker (http://www.planeteclipse.com/site/pages/policies#warranty-section), so any prospective Eclipse Etha owners can take immediate advantage of this by registering their new markers online when they acquire them here: https://warranty.planeteclipse.com/


It was an absolute pleasure having Gerry, Snypi and Cheveux over to visit and all three are now fully up to speed on all aspects of the new Etha, so you can start pestering them if you want any info!

Snypi and Cheveux had to leave back to Germany and France respectively but Gerry managed to fit in his first football (Soccer) match making Gerry an official Manchester City supporter now!
