JetCat V10 ECU and Jeti telemetry options
What are you using? Looking at Xicoy Flight Computer Jetcat ( http://www.dreamworksrc.com/catalog/...omputer-Jetcat ) or CB Elecktronics Jetcat ( http://www.dreamworksrc.com/catalog/...-10X-Exsupport ) Feed back on either of these two or something else? Wanting my Jeti to become GSU for turbine.

It won't quite become a GSU but close. In order to access engine functions you'll need to start the jeti box emulator. You can of course monitor fuel, EGT, pump voltage, etc directly from you Jeti's display though. Personally having both the CB Electronics and the Xicoy Flight Computer I prefer the Xicoy. It's display is like having a GSU in the model and it gives you full telemetry on your Jeti as well.

The Xicoy FC1 has a full display and has the complete GSU interface built in so you can simply press function keys on the front panel to access any of of the diagnostic functions the ECU provides. It also provides RPM, EGT etc, on the front panel, the same as the JJXC does.
In addition, it can also have built in GPS, air speed, etc all of with it will log to it's own SD card which is nice because if you try to log too many telemetry items to your Jeti it will cause telemetry values to periodically "drop out" as it write to SD card, etc.

Wayne, If I go Xicoy route, I take it I can start the Jeti box emulator with it? Yes this all new to me so suggestions and directions are appreciated. Do you mount display in model? FYI current plan on equipment is Jetcat P140 RXI and Power Box Mercury with 2 Jeti R3/RSW RX's (Central Box 200 is option but would prefer Mercury for gyro)
Thanks
Thanks
I should mention that I'm using a Kingtech turbine which uses the Xicoy ECU. I know that Xicoy offers the FC1 setup to work with JetCat also but I'm not sure about directly using the GSU functions from the FC1 display with a JetCat ECU. Hopefully some one with first hand experience with the FC1 / JetCat will chime in.
Don't get me wrong, the CB Electronic JJXC EX is a nice unit and I have one in my JetCat powered Boomerang XL but I have found trying to navigate ECU functions via Jetibox to be enough of a pain I simply dig out the actual GSU and use that instead if I need to perform a diagnostic function.
