Ashleigh Takes On XFC 2016

On By hajek

This weekend marks a very special weekend for Jeti USA team pilot Ashleigh Heath. The excitement was obvious as she headed to Champaign, Illinois for The Original XFC Extreme Flight Championship. Not only is this her first XFC competition, she is the first female to ever compete here. We are absolutely amazed at her level of skill, and we are very proud to call her a Jeti Team Member. Ashleigh we want to wish you the best of luck during your flight. GO ROCK IT GIRL! If any of you get a chance, go out and show her your support.

Take a look a these photos submitted from one of our customers. This beautiful Vasa Model Fusion Jet has a wingspan of 790mm, a length of 740mm and weighs 580g! For the power system it is running a Kolibri T25 turbine and it is controlled on the Jeti 2.4 Duplex system. Watch the video below to “hear” how this customer has utilized Jeti’s telemetry feature.

 

Behind The Flight Line

On By hajek

All of us that fly RC know that it takes skills both on the flight line and off to complete a successful flight. On our first demo flight we had an unfortunate series of events during landing, resulting in a damaged wing (as any RC pilot can relate 🙂 ). We are very thankful to have had someone who possesses such skill with us at Joe Nall 2016. This damaged wing could have grounded us for our Friday noon demo flight. However, all thanks to Laura Melnik,  it didn’t. Laura is very talented in many ways, and one of her specialties just happens to be fabrication. She was able to rebuild a wing using only a few scraps of balsa, CA glue, and an aluminum can. This amazing patch job allowed us to continue flying Friday. She even added a little pizzazz with her handmade rivets! We want to extend a very sincere thank you to Laura for all her fast thinking and hard work.

Without her, The Jeti USA Girl Flight Team may not have made history.

Thank you Laura.
