    Flying with a Jeti Radio shout out

    Been flying a DS16 for about 3 years now, love it. Love the solid feel and build quality and the programing flexibility is second to none. I'd love to get a new DS24 once it's released but I don't really need it as my DS16 can do virtually anything..

    Spektrum DX-20 Recall Info

    I don't have any better data then you but based on the transmitters I've seen over the years I'd suspect that maybe 5% of modellers use any sort of high end transmitter. If (and I think this is optimistic) 5% or 9K modellers in the US use a transmitter costing over $700 I'm guessing that total...

    New Spektrum Powersafe Receivers

    ` Yup, the smartfly unit is pretty nice and gives Futaba uses most of the benefits of a power safe. Sill, the new Spektrum powersafe receivers are really nice with the addition of full receiver battery telemetry. Also the in-receiver mapping will provide users a more flexible equivalent of a...

    New Spektrum Powersafe Receivers

    Don't want to turn this into a debate about other brands or get this discussion off the topic of the new Spektrum receivers which are quite nice but no they aren't the only company offering power safe type receivers. Jeti has the Central Box 200 which has all of the telemetry features that the...

    New DA 60 not start

    I agree. I've had a number of people tell me they had brand new ignitions from DA that were defective because they couldn't get it started and because they couldn't see a spark when they flipped it with the plug removed. It always turned out to be there was no fuel getting to the engine or they...

    New DA 60 not start

    You don't need to hold it to anything, The shield on the spark plug lead provides the ground for the spark plug and there is no need to touch it to any part of the engine. If you think about it, there is no connection between the ignition module and the crankcase of the engine so touching the...

    New DA 60 not start

    On a DA 60 there is no hall sensor so it isn't possible for it to be inserted backwards as it is with the replacement / universal sensors from places such as RCXP. Also, since DA uses an inductive pickup, not a hall sensor, the RCExl timing / ignition/ sensor testers won't be useful for testing...

    Potenza question

    If the Aura really was off it seems unlikely that it caused the problem but if something is failing anything is possible.First thing I would look at is the Rudder servo since you had an issue with it centering during power up. Also take a good look at all your servo extensions. Based on what the...

    Maine Jet Rally Sep 8-11 2016

    Sounds like a good idea but probably the best thing would be to contact the event organizer, Ray Labonti and tell him you would like to support his event and send him some tee shirts to hand out at registration. Of course I could always use a new hat :^) Wayne

    Maine Jet Rally Sep 8-11 2016

    Ill be going and will try to remember to bring a camera and take some photos. Hopefully someone else will be going also as I tend to forget to do this type of thing. Wayne

    Maine Jet Rally

    I think the start date above is incorrect... I saw similar information on the website which was simply copied from an earlier year but I don't believe it was fully updated. A recent email directly from the event organizer and RC FlightDeck indicate the event starts on Friday 9/9/16, NOT 9/8/16...

    Esprit Tech Jeti DC-24 Radio System

    There are ignore lists to deal with that. And while it may be true that their US distributor is terrible on forums, it's also true that in real life his company provides excellent support and service for the product.

    Is a DLE-61 any good?

    Actually depending on where you get it the EME isn't much less money than the DLE61. I purchased one from Tower a while back and used a coupon code that took almost 50$off bringing it down to about $409. I then received a $40 gift certificate through email because I had made a $400 purchase...

    Servo Jitter during movement

    I'm a bit confused. You say the problem is only with a JR transmitter but the receiver you listed is for use with a Taranis isn't it ? Are you using a Frsky transmit module in the XG11 ? I've never owned an XG11 so I'm not even sure it accepts a module. Just trying to understand EXACTLY what...

    DLE170

    I had one for a couple of years. Ran it first on stock mufflers and then DLE headers and cans. Ran great with both exhausts. Only reason for switching to cans was noise requirements where I fly. It was always easy to start and easy to tune. Very user friendly engine.. I sold it to a friend a few...
