Entry: Day Three – The Pit

04/18/2023: Finally, I had some time to take my third flying lesson. The goal today was to try to keep the FW330 over our fire pit. It seemed like an easy task, being that I was easily hovering over the grass, but once I tried to keep it over the fire pit, I felt as though I was all over the place! At one point, James set it down and we thought we broke a prop! We didn’t thankfully, it was just a piece of charred wood. Weather was decent. There was some wind, but not too terrible, and in true Florida fashion it was hot and sunny – so sunny that my eyes kept watering! I can tell you, it is not easy to see your aircraft when you are crying, LOL.

James also had me turn the multi-rotor 90 degrees and play around with a different orientation. That experience was interesting to say the least. I played around a bit with figuring out what directions I needed to move the sticks to get it to go where I wanted. My biggest issue was the lag time between when I moved a stick and when I expected the Flame Wheel to move. Overall, today was a great flying day!

Multiple Ways to Purchase Jeti

Pre-Owned? No Worries!

The options to purchase Jeti are plentiful. Of course, you can purchase directly from Jeti USA or any one of our many authorized dealers, but there is another option – purchase a pre-owned one! Often times, you can spot a Jeti transmitter for sale from other Jeti owners! You might want to purchase a transmitter from your buddy at your local field, or even snag a great deal off one of the forums. However, we know that the uncertainty of purchasing pre-owned electronics can cause a bit of internal turmoil, but we wanted to let you know it doesn’t have to be that way!

Jeti products, especially the transmitters, hold up very well over time, so the chances of any issues occurring are very slim. In addition, Jeti USA is the one-and-only authorized service center for all Jeti products purchased in the United States. This means that, if for any reason you do run into a problem, you can deal directly with us, even if you did not purchase it through us.

At Jeti USA, we record the serial numbers of all transmitters that leave our door – and since we are the only USA importer, all transmitters legally purchased in the United States have, at some point, touched our hands. If you are interested in a pre-owned transmitter, and you know the serial number, we can verify purchase date, and validate whether or not it is still under manufacture warranty.

We love Jeti products, and we are confident you will too. So, if that means snagging the best deal from a good friend or even another Jeti user, then why not! In the end, you are still flying (if you ask us) the best, and that makes us all happy!

Entry: Day 2 – My Second Flying Lesson

Well, this flight log is from two weeks ago, but better late than never, right?!

03/30/2023: Day 2 – Today I had my second flying lesson. We continued to work on a tail end hover. The wind was stronger today than it was the first time so it took a bit of adjustment to keep the Flame Wheel in front of me. Trying to master the movements is even harder when you are correcting for environmental changes. It is also odd dealing with the ground effects. Ground effect, as I learned, is how the air coming off (in my case) the rotor blades can actually cause lift. According to Skybrary, Ground Effect is “positive influence on the lifting characteristics of the horizontal surfaces of an aircraft wing when it is close to the ground”. I can tell that I am getting more comfortable with the multicopper, but I still panic when it turns into a different orientation. After I get down the tail end hover we will work on left and right orientations. I was able to fly it out and bring it back to me without turning too much. My stick movement has also become smoother. I even had a few onlookers while I was flying today, and thankfully I was able to handle it pretty well. I am excited for our next lesson!  

Weather has been rather windy this week, but I am hoping to get back out towards the end of this week for my third lesson. Stay tuned!
