Hey guys, for anyone wondering about the Jeti RC switch.
Here is the video posted from the Australian distributor Phil.

Simply plug the RC switch into the switch port of the Smoothflite or Smart Bus and away you go.

Hi Brendan,
I talked to you on Friday May 17th at Joe Nall about the RC remote switch and setup for Jeti and the Smoothflite. Do you know when it will be listed on the website and be available for sale?
Thanks,
Gary

Hi All -
Having some issues getting my Bobcat XL to feel right with the Smoothflite. Tried a bunch of different settings but would like a better place to start as it still feels pretty bad.
At the moment I have Autogain - on, Aileron, Elev and Rudder Proportional - On, and Aerobatic Mode - On. Using stock gains...
I tried Aerobatic Mode - Off and it felt horribly slow to respond. That's with zero expo at the moment.
Also, when I turn on the gyro, it appears to change the elev trim - inflight it starts a noticeable descent with the gyro on. Turn it off and trims go back to normal. That part was weird.
Can you all confirm what settings you are using with jets? Have you changed the factory gain settings?
Thanks in advance!

Still having lots of issues. . Due to the aileron mechanics of the jet, the radio aileron travel must be set at 60%. If I set the radio aileron travel at 100%, I run out of endpoint travel in the Smooth flite. The mechanics of the servo and arms can not be changed at this point. I currently have low gain set at 5 and high gain at 9. Strangely, when I go from gyro off to low gain, the travel actually decreases. Going to full gain the travel then increases. I suspect that the radio 60% travel setting is making the gyro behave as though the jet is always flying right around the midpoint and adding in too much correction. Ughh... Getting frustrated. Thought this was supposed to be an easy setup.

With the Smooth Flite the model may not need every control surface flying gyro to feel locked in. For example we fly one of our sports jets with just rudder on gyro. This gets rid of tail waggle, hold the nose up a little more during turns and makes the plane fly really locked.

Smooth Flite Startup Offsset calibration.
There have been questions about some controls moving a little after startup. Also the model carrying slight trim change when the gyro is switched on. Here are some answers.
At start up (with the gyro switched to ON position) the Smooth Flite does a gyro calibration followed by and auto control offset calculation. To activate this feature make sure the model is switched on with the Gyro switch in the ON position (i.e. low or high gain position). You may see a bump followed by a second bump on some of the control surfaces. For best results it is important that you do not move TX sticks or physically move the model until the calibration has completed.

rick how long does calibration normally take? I have completed my install and awaiting a window to take jet out for first flights.

There have been a lot of talks going on about Booma RC Smoothflite next version release.
i have been playing with this version for a bit before its public release and im so impressed.
RickGell and BrendanGell have taken the leading product in the market, to a whole new level!
The list of added features is simply overwhelming. i will add some teaser pictures for you guys though
notice that FrSky radios are now supported with an awesome custom widget for the Smoothflite.
Official release is coming within several days! 😍
