JETI for sailplanes
After seven years on OpenTX and EdgeTX, I bought a JETI DS-12 in early March. I have setup my F3K and F5J models so far, and I feel that I am getting the hang of the new system.
I would like to get a discussion started about how to get the most out of the JETI radios for sailplanes. I will go ahead and share my own model setups first, and discuss details in later posts.
But I would also like to see how others are doing it, to get some inspiration and learn more. I hope that you will share your setups with descriptions here as well. And you are of course welcome to ask questions too!
F3K
F5J
If you copy the model files over to your transmitter's SD card, then you need to prefix the model number, e.g. "0007F3K.jsn" to have it show up. I have also included some custom sound files that they rely on.
None of the setups have timers, as those are provided by my SoarJETI Lua apps.
I should also mention that I have customized the switches on my DS-12 transmitter. I have replaced C and D with push buttons, and I have swapped B and E, so B is a 3-position switch that I use for selecting flight modes. If you load my templates on your own transmitter, then you will have to setup these switches to fit what you have.

F3K
- Flight modes for Launch, Zoom, Float, Speed and Cruise.
- Zoom mode is entered after Launch.
- When you move the elevator, Zoom mode is left, and the selected gliding flight mode is activated.
- Flaps are deactivated by Launch mode, and re-activated when you push the throttle stick forward after Zoom, to make quick turnaround easier.
- Camber is adjusted for the current flight mode with throttle trim.
F5J
- Only flight modes for Float, Speed and Cruise; Motor does not have a flight mode.
- Button D arms the motor, and button C starts the motor when armed.
- The motor stops after 30 sec. or when you press C again.
- Flaps are disabled when the motor is armed or on.
- I use the throttle stick for both power and flaps. But the input Functions "Power in" and "Flaps in" can also be assigned to knobs or sliders, if desired.
- Camber is adjusted for the current flight mode with throttle trim.
- Aileron butterfly is set on a curve.
