I have been using telemetry in my giants for a couple years. When I built the jet, I kind of felt naked w/o it. But, I want to keep things simple on the first jet.

Today, I had the turbine set up on the bench and I decided to plug in the TM-1000 and the new Spektrum JetCat Telemetry Interface. After rebinding and then doing a relearn, I fired up the jet. Once it was started, the JetCat Telemetry screen showed all the pertinent info (i.e. RPM, Operational Status, pump voltage, Battery voltage, etc. etc.). I set up an alarm on the Flameout. I also added a voltage tap into the AR 9210 Power Distribution Module ( PowerBox Evolution) and am monitoring servo system voltage. I added an alarm to that also.

The setup was flawless and very easy. All you have to do is move the TM-1000's connection to the Rxer to the data port, plug the Interface into the Tm-1000's X-bus, and then bind in the TM-1000 with the interface attached to the turbine's Interface port. Start the thing up and scroll over to the JetCat Telemetry screen on the transmitter.
