Just got an email that mine is at the local FedEx office for me to pickup today. So glad I found out about this company here from those that have used and like it. Wished more posts on RCU were informative like this one instead of all the bashing and high jacking that is usual lately.

Yep....a buddy is setting one up in one of his GS aerobatic planes that he previously had a PB Mercury in. (To have a good comparison case)
He’s on Jeti and will
provide more feedback as he completes the setup and tries it out on the line, so to speak...here’s the link: AR Smoothflite RRS

This is my question also, specifically can or how does it handle, or can it handle both 2.4 and 900 mhz from the Jeti DS-24. So far I can't find any info about this. The system looks real good and is lots cheaper than a CB400 and CortexPro.

Kris,
Thanks for the fast reply. This sounds good. I have piggy backed the 900 on the primary 2.4 before. I assume that if 900 switch over occurs the serial signal will pass through to the 2.4 to the RRS. Hopefully we will see some more info on how this will work with the Jeti system and telemetry.

Hi Gary
Yes you are correct, the serial stream coming from the 900mhz receiver will pass through the 2.4ghz receiver into the Smoothflite and RRS system.
We actually tested this with the jeti importer in Australia and it works well.
Cheers Brendan

The Smoothflite system is avaliable in the ARXL version and the Spektrum version.
The ARXL version supports Graupner, Jeti, Futaba, JR and Spektrum SRXL receivers.
If you wish to use the smoothflite with the gruapner then the ARXL version is the one you are looking for.
Cheers

Brendan,
Thanks for the Jeti info. I really like the idea of the self adjusting gyro gains and the fact that if the system switches over to 900 mhz your still have gyro stabilization on 900.
I assume that all the Jeti telemetry will still work the same for attached sensors on the recievers Exbus. Will the RRS report its battery voltage and capacity used to the Jeti telemetry similar to a CB200 or 400? Is there a possiblity of running a remote RC switch for the system instead of the magnetic or key fob switch?
Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary,
Yes, we do output telemetry to the Jeti radio so you will be able to see the battery telemetry.
The remote RC switch will work with the Smoothflite, however there is a wiring change required.
I would have to contact the jeti distributor here in Aus as he used one in his setup.
cheers

The challenge with re-settable fuses (protection) is that there is such a margin of variance between hundreds of different servos that it is a challenge to select the appropriate size re-settable fuse. We have tested many combinations of servos and fuses and understand the bell curve for these devices. In a future release we may offer several channels with re-settable fuses and several channels with standard outputs. Then the customer can select whether to use re-settable fuse channels or not. The current Smooth Flite and RRS ARXL system have PCB tracks designed to fuse if a short circuit happens on a given channel.

a fuse wont fix a burned servo, it will just prevent it from loading the power supply system.
at which current do you recommend cutting the servo power and how do you assure that other types of servos wont get to that current under high flight loads?
this is the reason its very difficult to implement this feature in a market where each pilot uses different types of servos and different loads.

I only mentioned it because rickgell said it may be in a future release so no hijack 
. Multiplex uses them in their receivers and Jeti uses them in the Central Boxes. Jeti will now offer a choice of with or without. So the AR unit offering both in a single unit would be a step up and possibly a great advantage. There are also telemetry devices out there to determine threshold.

Well done Rick and Brendan, following this thread with great interest. I suppose it is too early to ask, but will the Smooth Flite work with the new PB Core?
Cheers,
JanR
