Hurricane IRMA Release

On By hajek

Esprit Tech and Jeti USA want to take a moment to talk about Hurricane IRMA, the potential effects, and what that will mean. As of now, the storm could impact us directly. Even without a direct hit, there is a still chance we may have some impact, although to what extent is not yet known. As the Governor stated we are preparing for the worst, but hoping for the best. At this moment we will not be in the office Friday, September 8th, 2017 through Monday, September  11th, 2017 and plan to return on Tuesday, September 12th 2017. Our website will still be up and running, and you may always send emails to us at support@esprittech.com. We will answer them as quickly as we can, but we ask that you please be patient with us, as everything right now is contingent upon the weather. Please check back for more updates as they can be released. For those of you that may be impacted by the storm, stay safe and best of luck thought this storm.

Thank you,

Esprit and Jeti USA Staff

Coming Soon From Top Model

On By hajek

Arriving soon with our next Top Model shipment – Samsara 3.2E Electric Sailplane!!!

One of the most impressive European made sailplanes that we have ever seen. The brand new competition F5J/ALES Samsara 3.2E flies as good as it looks. Gentle, smooth, and very long flights are the standards for this beauty. The careful use of composites with competition balsa, creates a good light structure that will hold its shape for a long time. The synergy of low weight and strong structure is very unusual in a production sailplane and can only be achieved with careful attention to design and construction. The entire model is constructed using free-flight techniques. Top Model uses the latest construction techniques such as CNC milling and laser cutting. The wings as well as horizontal and vertical tail parts are all classic balsa, built-up, D-box, rib/main spare design. The fuselage is gel-coated fiberglass with white finish. Whole model is covered with Ultracote. All control surfaces are hinged with adhesive tape. This fully built sailplane needs only basic assembly and motor/radio installation. The 3-piece wing and full flying stabilizer are each easily removable for transport and storage. Each part is carefully hand-crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Value is simply incredible.

TBT: Head Back To 1978!

A note from another satisfied Jeti customer.

Recently, I purchased a Jeti radio system (DS-14). I wanted to let you know I have been flying RC for 62 years and this Jeti radio is by far the best radio I have ever owned. In the past, I have been on the Futaba and JR teams but this Jeti radio system is exceptional. It brings back the excitement I felt when I first started to fly. The controls are ultra smooth. I have won the National Championship Pylon Race (1978) and have continued to compete all these years so I know a good radio system. I plan on using the radio at the 2017 NATS and wanted to sincerely thank Chief Aircraft for making it possible for me to possess such a quality piece of equipment.

Regards,

John McDermott

Well John, we are happy to hear you are pleased! Good luck at the NATS, and thank you for sharing with us this great photo from your 1978 win!
