Vario Bell 429 Build, a pictorial journey
Vario Starwood Lama Project Build
Jeti Radio Bluetooth EarPod recommendation
Curious if any are using Bluetooth EarPods with their Jeti radios. My Apple AirPods struggle to connect. Even the old ones.
Thanks

Helistorm was a huge success, what an event.
There is a lot of content on YouTube.

Here’s a short.
Lama Cargo Hook
I have wanted to design a scale like cargo hook for sometime. Winter weather gave me the time. The system was tested with a static load of 17.5 pounds as well as a frame test of over 30 pounds. The system is only as strong is it weakest link, however it has not presented itself. Fusion360, Formlabs 4 using Black V5 resin. 1.5mm stranded cable with compression eyelets. Both cargo hooks, upper and...
I have wanted to design a scale like cargo hook for sometime. Winter weather gave me the time. The system was tested with a static load of 17.5 pounds as well as a frame test of over 30 pounds. The system is only as strong is it weakest link, however it has not presented itself. Fusion360, Formlabs 4 using Black V5 resin. 1.5mm stranded cable with compression eyelets. Both cargo hooks, upper and lower, are spring loaded allowing the user to snap back the hook into position. The pin used to latch the hook is stainless steel and rolls/compresses the spring until a hole in the hook aligns itself and allows acceptance, thus locking the hook in place. I used a bicycle shift cable to activate the upper hook.
Multiple telemetry sensors
I am wanting to monitor the total mAh used for my turbine batteries and receiver batteries. I also want to utilize the JetiBox emulator in the Jeti transmitter to reset my MUI-30 to 0 mAh after charging.
I have my one MUI-30 sensor programmed to accumulate the mAh and not reset on power cycling, thus giving me a total mAh used. This is working on the test bench using E1, E2 or EXT ports.

I am wanting to monitor the total mAh used for my turbine batteries and receiver batteries. I also want to utilize the JetiBox emulator in the Jeti transmitter to reset my MUI-30 to 0 mAh after charging.
I have my one MUI-30 sensor programmed to accumulate the mAh and not reset on power cycling, thus giving me a total mAh used. This is working on the test bench using E1, E2 or EXT ports.
In my heli, I have a REX-10 with the following pins used
E1 - Axon
E2 - 900NG for backup
EXT - V-Speak
10 - Turbine
9 - Lights
Is the only way to add more telemetry sensors is to add another REX-x receiver (double path) and use its E1,2 or EXT ports?
I assume the MUI-30 telemetry data can only be collected using ports Ext, E1, E2.
It doesn’t appear a MUI-30 can be plugged into a 900NG backup receiver for logging telemetry data.
What is the method for using several sensors?
Jeti (or other) electronic switches and mAh telemetry
Curious what others use for magnetic power switches (if any)? What do you use to monitor battery pack mAh total usage?
Jeti Radios, looking for answers
I made the switch to Jeti and going thru the learning curve. No doubt I am totally impressed, a whole new world of capabilities with Jeti. The Bell and Lama are converted, waiting on some decent flying to “adjust” the Axon (read Michael and Sandy’s article along with a ton of Sandy’s help). Also, a lot of YouTube learning at Harry Curzon’s pages plus others. I’ve looked at a few other sites...

Large Scale Heli Transport, what is your method?
I need to upgrade my method of getting helis to the field. I am curious what most folks use to transport their large scale helis. Michael has an incredible van. Perhaps some use trailers? For me, it is looking like something that will be dedicated to helis only.
What are the pros and cons of trailers. Any experiences is appreciated.
3D printers: Asking the group for their current recommendations on 3D printers. I’m inching forward on getting one. I use Fusion360 on my mill. Can I assume Fusion360 will push out programming for most of them?
Fine Scale Modela - RC Helicopter and Accessories1/5 Lama Working Hook, in kit form - AvailableScale rc model helicopter and accessories
I’m looking for options for a working cargo hook in 1/5 scale. Thus far, I know of the following that are printed, however I am looking for ones that are more robust, perhaps made of aluminum.

VSpeak and Futaba 32MZ
Is there someone that can speak to the compatibility of the VSpeak, Jakadofsky and Futaba 32MZ?
I am struggling to get the sensors to register.
Futaba 32MZ
JetCat V10 on Futaba Sensor setup
Slot 8 per the readout of Jakadofsky interface
ID 3500 on both VSpeak and 32MZ
I did ping AeroPanda, no response yet.
Sharing my first turbine build
Curious what larger scale builders are using for navigation lights. I am familiar with Unilights. Any other options and/or recommendations?
