Take a look at this beautiful 16’ (4.87m) wingspan, 1/6 scale Sikorsky Ilya Muromets bomber. It is powered by four AXI 4130/20 motors on Jeti Advance 77 Opto electronic speed controllers using four 6S 4500mah LiPo packs and swinging 16×8 XOAR scimitar props. It is the largest flying model of the Ilya Muromets and one of only two in the world. Thanks Sal for the amazing in-flight photos!
We always love to see projects from our customers. Take a look at Janar’s beautiful free flight model F1A . It’s wingspan covers an amazing 2.4m and utilizes a Slobodan Midic MID103 airfoil. This beautiful model behaves beautifully when towed up to 112 meters (367 feet). In it he runs the Soaring Circuits RAM3 Recording Altimeter. Janar and his F1A plan to head to the Free Flight World Championships in Hungary next year. Good Luck Janar!
Take a look at this amazing conversion presented by Manfred Gruber. This passenger-carrying Ultra-lightweight ULF1 was converted to electric power with the help of Hacker Motors and Jeti Duplex. It had its maiden flight at the 5th Gliding Fair in Schwabmünchen, and was quite a crowd pleaser. Take a look at this video of it in action.
Take flight in the Opale Oxy 5.0 with the Lucas pilot flying high over Panama City. The Oxy 5.0 Flying weight is 8kg with winds between 5 to 10kmh. Take a look!
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.
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.

As the Beatles said, “I get by with a little help from my friends.” And that’s just what the owner of this beautiful P-47 did! Catch this 144″ Wingspan plane, which weights about 120 lbs., this year at Top Gun. Team pilot Jim McEwen has been busy helping his buddy build dummy bombs to drop. Each bomb is about 2 feet long with a 6 inch diameter and are made out of foam and plastic. Oh boy, I bet the sound is amazing when they land!
