In May of 2015, I announced that I was switching from my Spektrum DX8 transmitter to a Futaba 14SG. Well....here we are in May of 2016, and I am making another transmitter switch. I had been toying with the Idea for several months, and I just could not fight the temptation any longer. 

Last weekend, I purchased a Jeti DS16 Carbon Series transmitter. The main reason for the switch is the amazing telemetry options that Jeti transmitters bring to the table. The ability to track and count mAh used from the battery instead of having to use a flight timer is just awesome to me. Not to mention the logging capabilities, and the endless programming and settings possibilities including voice announcements. So there is no need to look down at the screen.

Which is another really cool feature. Instead of putting the screen on the bottom of the transmitter, Jeti put their screen on the top of the transmitter...and it is angled so you can see it. BIG plus there, if you decide not to use the voice prompts.

I should have all of my helicopters on it by next weekend.... I hope. The receivers I ordered have not arrived yet, so I can`t set anything up at the moment. I will post more about it as I fly it and get to know it more. :)
