Thanks
With the Xicoy FC1 I can't think of any reason you would need to use the Jetibox with it. It has a full display built right into the unit which I mount directly in the model. I simply watch the display during startup. If the airplane hasn't flown for a while and I need to prime the fuel line, I simply access GSU functions from the built in display. Once I put the hatch on I then can do any further monitoring directly from the transmitter.
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.
