My Feedback: (34)
I have a Cheetah SP Powerpack that was purchased last year and has less than 3 hours of run time. Should I wait for the 25 hour service? Would the upgrade be included in the 25 hour service or can I do it now regardless? You mentioned that the upgrade would only be electronics? Will my current turbine be able to produce the 36lbs or the insides need to be upgraded? Can it be done?
Should have waited for the new turbine. Looks like the new 160SE is also 300 dollars less than what I paid for my 140SP last year.

Spoke with Juan at 1st In Flight and he let me know one of the features of the SE is the ability to restart your turbine without powering down the ECU, so long as it did not shutdown as a result of a fault. Well, this last weekend I put my Rabbit SE up on my glider, a Discus 2a and took advantage of the ability to in-flight restart, worked perfect every flight allowing me to extend flights when I got low when the thermals just couldn't be found. I have enough fuel on board for (3) climbs to altitude with 48 oz. on board. Nice feature, thanks guys.

Restart times in the air seem much!!!! longer the lower to the ground you are, but really a quick time check on the last flight it appears to be similar to the initial ground start.

Based on the location of my Bee80 SE PowerPaks in my small SM A-10, it is not easy to access the micro SD cards. Is there a way to access previous flight data without removing the SD Cards? Is there a USB interface like the old Xicoy ECU's? Is there already a BlueTooth XMTR in the PowerPaks to be used with a smartphone?
See everyone next week at KY Jets!
Thanks
Nick

Hey Jet my new cheetah SE seems to have a longer than normal spool up from idle to max thrust is this something that Jose can check at KY Jets or is this normal with the increased thrust in a smaller package?

I need some assistance in getting my Jeti Telemetry adapter working.
I purchased this from Juan at FIF and have not tried it till recently. I attached the lead from the s-bus side of the adapter to the SE power pak S-bus connection and put the other lead in the Ext1 port on the CB200. I have not been able to get any connection or telemetry feed from the adapter.
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Tim

Great news for all of us Jeti users, Juan just shared a video demo of the new Telemetry working with the Jeti radio.
Note: there is no Audio in the video.
He did not mention when it will be available for sale, I can't wait to get one!

Hello Custmachr
I'm not Jeti expert but this is what I did
Connect the telemetry to port 15
Go to: Model / device explorer and look for CBOX200
Then "Alternative pin config." - Ext/pin15 - Telemetry Input
Reset everything and you are done
Hope this helps

we have no idea if the module could be bad have you tried calling James at Esprit Model. if you would like to send yours back we can replace it if you do believe that the module could be defective.

Cheetah SE
Hi all. New owner of the JC engines. Amazing work of art.
One question, perhaps someone has run into my issue.
My Cheetah failsafe starts at 910ms. Now my DX18, with end point at -150, can only go down to 917ms. Therefore, if I turn off my TAX, the engine still remains in the 'idle' parameter. Normal idle is at 1006ms.
The dealership in Europe is checking for me too, but perhaps someone has already been through this.
Thanks!

After that, reduce your throttle channel to -100, + 100 and re-learn your ECU. After completion, test your failsafe.
What this does is teach the ECU the throttle range which is -100 to 100. When you loose RF, the Tx failsafes to the -150 position. This takes the pulse width outside of the ECU's established range and triggers the ECU's failsafe.
If for some reason that doesn't work ( I haven't run spek for a while). Do the same thing but, bind the tx at -100 to 100, then reduce it to -75 to 75 and re-learn the ECU , test again.
Hope that helps
Mike

-150 I have set.... But used the +100.
Will try with the -150/+150.
Also, may I ask the initial start figures for the cheetah SE? Had two good starts (09/15), but subsequent starts result in either To idle error, or acceleration error.(factory settings 09/02)
Thanks Mike for your help. I will post further.

Best Service Ever
I am impressed!
The people at JC know how to handle their business.
First JC engine in Malta, so not much support locally. It transpired that there was the possibility of a problematic egt sensor. They shipped a new engine from Mexico to JCEurope (ROI Imports) to minimise delays and inconvenience. Within one week of expressing my concerns, a new engine was waiting at my door, with return shipping paid.
I never thought it possible. But definitely, am totally amazed by the level of customer care and support.
Thank You Jet Central and Roberto Rabina from ROI Imports in Spain.
