Final Items and Programming


Jeti antennas were routed and taped in pace using Tevyk house tape. This one horizontal.


This one vertical.


Vent tube plug installed for use when needing to turn the jet upside down.


I moved the Castle Pro BEC to the left side to better fit battery hook up wires and put the last grey paint bling on the battery tray. Build is complete.


Final Jeti radio programming checks completed and all servos adjusted. The Jeti Assist gyro is selectable to ON and OFF in normal dampening mode. The gains for pitch, roll, and yaw are adjustable in flight by a rotary knob. Once desired gains are found and set they will be transferred to a fixed function curve and the knob disabled. All the flight controls are conventional with high and low rates except for the canards.

The canards are selectable to ON and OFF. When ON they are selectable for PITCH only or PITCH and ROLL together controlled by the right stick which controls the elevons. In addition the canards can be controlled by the flap switch to operate like 3 position "nose flaps" by dropping the trailing edge. UP is neutral, HALF is about 5mm trailing edge drop, and FULL is about 10mm drop. The canards can also be trimmed separately in pitch.

Test flight is scheduled for tomorrow morning. To be continued...
