CraigG Posts: Goose,

As much as I appreciate the information and diagram you provided in this post, please take a step back and try to read it in the context of someone new to Jeti, or worse, considering switching to Jeti. It’s mind boggling, at best. Even many of us who have owned Jeti for a while are just recreational modelers and may program a new jet once a year. It just can’t be this complicated.

Suggestion: Have Jeti decide on a “recommended” setup for the DS-16 and 24 and provide absolutely clear, step-by-step instructions, on how to accomplish. Something similar to the information provided in the Jeti-Shorts videos at Espirit Models. Offer some configuration “options” but with absolutely clear instructions on how to accomplish.

Suggesting that people read back through 3,459 posts on a related thread (DS-16) is not realistic.

I’ll admit, I may be slower than the average modeler but a lot of this programming and setup is simply not intuitive. Who knew that the REX12 does not use EXT to connect to the CB (like other rx’s) or that a JetiBox is required to select Clone mode? These are examples from just an evening of frustration trying to replace an R3 with a REX12.

I hope I’m not coming off just as a “complainer” because I really like my Jeti and plan to upgrade to the DS24 soon. I just wish the setup was more straight forward and less difficult. You are one of the most informative and helpful reps on RCU so maybe you can help with a solution for us simpletons.

Thanks,
Craig

Craig,

Yes, yes, YES!!

I suggest we start individual threads on the questions we have so they are easily searchable. As a matter of fact, I may just start that trend myself.

If I may try to expand on your sentiment, and even more, try to get at the underlying "uncomfortableness".

We don't like NOT knowing what we are doing when following suggestions put forth by more advanced users. We like to understand the reason why we are making a program change and HOW that programming works and how it changes things.

Although we appreciate the help, we also like to know, WHY we are doing the suggested programming suggestions. Not because we are ungrateful, quite the opposite in fact, we are just the kind of people who like to LEARN WHY we are doing it.

For example, with my flap slowing programming help, I have no idea why I'm choosing LogMAX???!!! It makes NO sense to me!! It makes me FEEL like I'm trusting on some type of "magic" which makes my 1 neuron, somewhat uncomfortable? Does that make sense?

All that said, Apple doesn't include an owners manual with ANY product, and I've got more Apple products than I've got, well almost anything! I know Jeti is not on the same INTUITIVE level as Apple, and well, some of us don't mind the added thought process behind the routine. That's all.

We would appreciate, and would learn much more, with a little more thought process behind the routine!

Thanks guys!
