Weak Signals Expo 2015 Recap

We are back from Ohio safe and sound, but with as much fun as we had we are happy to be back in Florida! What a show this year’s Weak Signals Expo proved to be. The weather was crazy. We were under tornado watches, dealt with hail and freezing rain, and woke up to an ice covered truck.  We have seen a lot at trade shows over the years, but on Friday we experienced something we had never gone through at a show- total power loss. The cause of the power outage seemed to be a blown transformer. Despite the crummy weather and loss of power, the show still rocked. The weekend was packed with visitors in our booth. I’m surprised we still have our voices after all the talking we did. Back at the store, Jeti Transmitters were flying off our shelves! The capabilities of the scale builders were just flat out amazing. There was so much interesting things to look at, and it was great to see all the other vendors. We can’t wait to go back.

New Jeti Products!

Hey guys! I just wanted to let you know we have some brand new Jeti items in stock. The newest telemetry sensor, the MAlti is a new altitude sensor that uses the atmospheric pressure to calculate the distance above sea level, much like the MVario2.  It is a great sensor if you need a basic altimeter. It measures three different parameters, air pressure, altitude, and the temperature of your sensor. The cost of the sensor will save you about 35 dollars from the MVario2.

The other new gadget from Jeti is the DSM ESC Switch. This little guy  automatically monitors and switches between two power supplies either Two Rx Batteries, Rx Battery & ESC or Two ESCs. This device is great if you have a twin motor setup.

From The Flight Line – Butch’s Comanche

Take a look at this amazing helicopter that one of our customers has been working on. Completely custom, this helicopter just amazes me. It is comprised of a 65″ Len Mount Fuselage, KDE T-Rex 700 upgrade parts, two Scorpion motors (one for main and one for tail), and two Castle Creations ESCs. The cockpit is built from scratch, andn even has animated displays that run on a ten minute loop. Click “Read More” to see more photos!IMG_1055

Flysafe Training Was A Success

The Atlanta Flysafe Training was a great experience to be a part of. Charles Eide, the founder, kick started the training on Friday with a huge welcome. After the welcome, the training courses started, covering topics from a basic introduction to RC all the way up to the business aspects of aerial photography. Atlanta Hobby kept the excitement going with amazing product demonstrations including  the brand new Inspire 1 4K quad. Not only was this a training course, there were raffle giveaways that excited almost everyone in attendance. A giant hats off to the guys at Flysafe, and Congrats to all the students!
