Way To Go!

For months, we have had a team of engineering students from FIT visiting us in search of various electric components. We are very happy to see young minds so enthralled with design and creation, especially in the field of electronics. All of their hard work has paid off!

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

A Much Awaited Edition

Last week we finally received the new Secraft DS-16 Transmitter Tray. As soon as it made its way to my desk, I rushed to the shop to assemble it. It came neatly packaged in a plastic bag with individual compartments for each piece, which was great because some of the screws are quite small and, knowing myself, would have gotten lost.   The tray itself was very easy to assemble. There were only four pieces to connect together. Once I built the tray, I grabbed my transmitter. There are two adhesive squares that are placed on the bottom of the DS. These help to keep a tight fit on my transmitter.  Once I slid my Jeti DS-16 in the tray and tightened the lock, I was good to go!

Now, I know you’re probably wondering why I didn’t just keep with the universal tray. As the universal tray does work with this transmitter, the DS-16 tray is specifically designed with the shape and weight of my transmitter in mind.  The bottom bracket is not only angled to fit the shape, it has rubber pads to protect it. In addition, this tray comes with special extended brackets, designed to distribute the weight, keeping a CG that is comfortable to fly with. Over all, I am in love with this tray. It is offered in two colors; Red and Black, and we expect it to be available on our website by the end of the week. Keep an eye on our out New Products page for it to pop up. Until then, here are some pictures.
