Sad thing is that Futaba has the ONLY feature "Touch Screen" (Which is good) that Jeti does not offer and has no planes is recent future. Jeti rather have the ergometry right with fully integrated antennas and display in correct place. You have to make choice.
You do not even have sequencer and 24 channels, how do you want to compare those two systems?
Remember Jet guys are not the only that Jeti is targeting. Tons of scale guys, heli pilots do not care about touch screens at all. That's not being arrogant just simply stating the facts.
There is another fact, most pilots send radios to the Futaba service every year (potentiometer calibration). We also know how much replacement screen cost. In our Jeti world nobody sends radio to the service just for check up, the hall-sensor gimbals have no moving parts.
Futaba missed quite few features:
(And yes if you do not have them you might not know what you are missing)
- RF Redundancy
- Voltage, MHa, Capacity Telemetry
- Automatic Telemetry Functions
- Custom Voices & Sounds
- Hall Sensors
- Power Redundancy
- Wireless programming
- Fuel, Air pressure, Power
- ECU integration and wireless programming
- Gyros Accelerometers
- Voice Commands
- .... How many should I list?
