Jeti DS-16 and Telemetry

Put a little video together to show a bit of the Telemetry on the DS 16 Jeti Radio

It was awesome flying the prototypes and the slicko with Jenny. That radio is awesome!

Love this radio. Hopefully I will have one before too long.

After checking out Joe Smith's and Wamsy's Jeti radio at the Mid-American Fly-Low-In at Cape Girardeau, I had to have one of these. Fast forward a month and I saved up enough money to make the switch from Hitec. So far I'm very pleased but have one question. How do you guys install your MUI current sensors? Do you shorten the positive wire on the speed controller that way the wires are still the same length? Solder or connectors? Do you guys use the voltage wires as well or just tie them off. Setup pictures would be helpful.

Thanks

I shorten the positive side on the ESC and solder it in line. I use the voltage wires as well. Having the voltage telemetry keeps me from ever flying with a dead pack. The capacity meter is what I use as my timer.

Oh yeah, that makes sense, I didn't think about that.

Thanks Joe.

so it has a capacity meter? i may have to save up for one also

Yes

It monitors the Milliamps used. You set the Battery size and when you want the alarm/ voice to tell you you just reached capacity.

You won't be disappointed. The DS-16 is amazing! It has a 3 axis gyro and accelerometer in it as well. So, you can also set it up to tell you how much of your battery you've used by simply tilting the radio in the direction you specify.

Hey Joe, can you explain to me how to set up knife edge mixing? In my old radio, I could specify a rudder direction. However, on the DS-16 it seams as though a Rudder to Aileron mix will mix in the ailerons no matter what direction you're flying. I saw a few posts about setting up 2 mixes, one for left rudder and one for right rudder. Then you make the mix curve flat on the side you don't wish to have the mix. I tried this and it didn't work, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
