Switching From JRPROPO To JETI Radio Systems

[@johnhopen]

I must say, I truly enjoy following your adventure in this sophisticated side of RC aircraft. I’m nowhere near this level. It’s a fun hobby and you do a great job! Thanks man!!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Many thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@davewilshere]

In the U.K. all my JR Propo customers switched to Powerbox Core…

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea that was a great choice as well! If I didn't have Jeti influence from others the Core was in 2nd place. Trying to get a test radio from all the major brands to do some signal testing. Hopefully we can make it happen.

[@paulheckles3677]

@@thelightersideofrc Core is definitely the leader on everything! I have several people who swapped from a Jeti to Core too…

[@christiancml]

Wow, sweet new set-up!! BTW I envy your beautiful, well equipped shop...

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you very much! it's always a work in progress!

[@markhackett1713]

I’m switching from Spektrum iX20 to Jeti DS24. Spektrum served me well for my less complicated models, but my recent intro into jets spured the change.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Great change!

[@airman9820]

Sold my 28x about 3 yrs ago and switched to jeti. While i loved the jr hardware the software was half-baked due to jr going bankrupt. Love the fact that for $30 I can have full telemetry on all my electric planes no longer have to fly by time but when battery is actually empty. Also having 900mhz in addition to 2.4 gives peace of mind when flying my jets.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Agreed! Great system!

[@wargor]

Made the switch from Futabab to Jeti many years ago. Can't ask for a better system.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Totally!

[@jrmotorsports5532]

Awesome build! Love the cross-over of influences!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you!

[@grumpy986]

Awesome video once again! I really need the next video about the P-51 haha! I'm super hyped about this model! Greetings from Germany

[@thelightersideofrc]

Coming soon!

[@wearemany73]

I can see now how these radios are good for jets owing to their versatility and ability to add a variety of “odds and sods” (highly technical terminology) I’m still on my Futaba but I’ve been threatening to buy myself a Radiolink TX-16s mark 3 I don’t need it per sei but they’re cheap and have great functionality for what I’d use it for. There’s a tool for every job.😊❤ Great video Johnathan 👍

Not Radiolink , you mean Radiomaster

[@MichaelMaujean]

Hi Jon, I did make the comment some time ago when you first played with a Jeti trransmitter. "Once you go Jeti, you'll never look back!"

[@thelightersideofrc]

Switch was last year about this time. Love it!

[@Steve-mb8tg]

I switched to jeti last year..love the system 😊

You are a genius, congratulations from all what you are doing, simply super, Greetings from Remi

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Remi!

[@JasonLeaman]

Hands down, Jeti. Miss all my jets and helis. Ds16 was a wicked radio !!

[@thelightersideofrc]

🙌😎

[@tracyhesla2517]

Good luck with the switch over. I hate changing radio systems. I have probably been fully invested in about 4-5 systems over the years including JR, Futaba, Spektrum aswell as the others. The last major investment was with the Spektrum brand but I have now switched everything but my little indoor stuff over to Jeti. I had friends trying to talk me into Jeti about 4 years ago and I was sick of hearing them talk about their "awesome" jeti systems. Well after a few issues with the Spektrums I reluctantly switched to Jeti about 2 years ago and I could not be happier. I started with higher channel RX's and then the Jeti Boxes and now I just use low channel rx's and split them off with expanders. Mostly using the XPS systems.

[@thelightersideofrc]

👍

[@jdsstegman]

Jeti! What more can you say! I picked one up and going from spektrum ix20 to the jeti was certainly a learing curve. I'm slowing doing the switch over of all my planes and helps. Spendy, but I like how jets isn't like spektrum in what I call preset setting. Meaning you basically can make any channel be anything you want it to be. Not pre made functions. Never been a futaba customer. To each their own. Your a wealth of knolage, sir! And that's why I watch!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@EagleDriverVan]

Welcome to the JETI club. 🍻

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! Been there for a year now but enjoying it!

[@jtcrowder49]

I am always concerned about EMF interference when banding the ECU, electric gear, and radio system together on a single power supply. What alleviates this concern for you?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Good equipment I suppose but only have so much room sometimes.

[@b.w.oostdam8875]

Could you please explain the 'remote switch'. I do not understand its function properly or when and why to operate it. It does seem like something I would like to use. Thank you very much for the very entertaining video's

[@thelightersideofrc]

The remote switch turns the aircraft on and off from your radio.

[@b.w.oostdam8875]

@@thelightersideofrc but it needs power to do that. What is powering the remote switch? And the aircraft... Does that mean motor power or all other electronics?

[@schalkvs]

do you have a link to the hysol glue you use on the jets?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Most common is 9462

[@davidsoufer116]

Very nice ..👏🏻

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks David!

[@haroldojrpropo]

could flight with two sistems at same time? how to a buddy perform?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Sorry I don't understand your question.

[@roccoc6237]

How did you copy the Ranger model/file from the JR radio to the Jeti radio?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Didn’t. It’s not possible. Make a new model and program it.

[@tampat2000]

Why not receive a REX12A in , that also runs all power over the receiver for all servos . I will always use 2 batteries for powering turbine models , to save costs .... safety ...

[@thelightersideofrc]

I prefer the Cortex.

[@slowheelie]

What voice are you using in your tx?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Not sure. All the audio files done on RCThoughts site.

[@alvgeirsteganehauge6999]

How much air uses the swiwin on full gas? Awsome video as always!

Not sure. Thanks!

[@jagman_singh]

Hey Jonathan, your aviation design diamond also had JR in it eh? Did you figure it out why it crashed? Was it a JR issue?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yes it was using JR. Sure did figure it out. Yes.

[@jkepps]

I must have missed it too. What caused the Diamond crash?

[@jagman_singh]

@@thelightersideofrc come on now, you gotta share the cause of the crash with us. Lol

[@randomnickify]

@@jagman_singh he made a video about it

Switching to jedi... let the power... hmm Jeti yes... 🙂

[@thelightersideofrc]

LOL. Thanks.

[@OscarSanchez-sw9hx]

Hi, i feel sad and confused seeing this video because i really love JR, also i love the last tech, but why JETI? Is not Powebox the last tech? What does have JETI that does not have JR, Powerbox, Futaba etc? If someone could explain it to me I would appreciate it with all my heart because for me JR has always been the best, I know there are better brands but why JETI? and not Futaba or Powerbox? Thanks

[@thelightersideofrc]

I liked JR and was a JR Team member for a few years. They are lagging behind when it comes to their competition. Jeti and Core are pretty much the top choices right now overall.

[@OscarSanchez-sw9hx]

@@thelightersideofrc Wow, I didn't know that about JR thank you very much for your answer. I know that later when changing radio JETI and Core would be the best options.

[@ramonmedina1974]

Jeti❤👍

Should have just went Elite or Matrix if you wanted more bells and whistles. Jeti, ugh

HAHA. Switched last year and very much disagree.

What happened to the new shop you were going to make or did you just decide to use the garage. You really dont talk much about it

Probably a couple years out. Some personal things I won't share.

[@Paul0088]

I would stay with JR

[@wearemany73]

That’s what Christal Carrington said and look what happened to her! 😳🤷🏼‍♂️

NO WAY!, Jeti is 100% better then JR .

[@Paul0088]

@@Mikeylikesit1968 no it isn’t

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

@Paul0088 You need to get out more. JR is old stuff and don't have the features like jeti has. JR is just as bad as Spekjunk

[@Terryscustom]

@@Mikeylikesit1968 except that it's nothing like Wrektum and stronger signal than Jeti😉

[@frank-vq4mx]

Why ?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Because the owner switched to Jeti so he wants his Ranger setup on Jeti.

[@KramesTV]

FrSky X20s > JETI

[@markhackett1713]

I saw FrSky at Joe Nall and must say I was impressed, but Jeti appears to have better telemetry and functionality for turbine aircraft. Can you elaborate, because I’m changing from Spektrum and would like to hear from a FrSky user.

Not a fan of the game controller shape/size.
