    • I Love the 4 servo 45 degrees swash arrangement on the JetCat. Perfectly symmetrical and the power from all serves are used on all stick input.
  • Radio equipment
    • Jeti Duplex R11EX receiver + RSAT2 satellite receiver
      • Jeti info: Nominal (long time) current for servos is 12 Amps, peak 20 Amps. The weakest part is JR connector.I personally use two JR connectors for each servo, soldering parallel PLUS(s) and MINUS(s). Impuls only from one channel.If you doubled servo connectors it is not necessary to use any bus.
