I am so ready to pull the trigger on the DS-12 Carbon but wanted to check on the announcement from Spirit -
Any update on the timeline? Any additional news that can be shared? Should I wait...?
Oh I know I am being silly and impatient like a kid at Christmas time...

Everything should be revealed and available for (pre)order at the end of this week.

Where do you normally announce things? I guess facebook but I am not really a user of FB...

Theres a news thread on these forums.
Think carefully before going to jeti. Its not widely used and it's very expensive.

It is? My DS12 was $600, that’s less than a lot of radios and has more capability than anything else. Even the receivers are reasonable, plus Spirit has the new RS coming with built in Jeti receiver. There’s a lot of people who fly helis with Jeti, it’s very popular.

My Taranis was around $200 (converted from GBP) and r-xsr receivers are $15.
It's open tx so can do anything and everything.
I don't know anyone using jeti only Vstabi, taranis or spektrum.

Ok . Guys ! Tomas is going to list Jeti transmitters on his website, so if you don’t like it please take it somewhere else, it is not nice to put it here.

Like I'm going to use a $15 Rx in my $5000 turbine Heli. Please. I feel my Jeti Tx and Spirit Pro is ample protection.

I have Graupner, Jumper T16 and a Jeti DS-14.
Honestly, I still like my Graupner best but them declaring bankruptcy I am diversifying.
The DS-14 is a fine transmitter but it has very limited lua support (something the OpenTx Jumper is great at btw) so I am looking to get a newer model Jeti and will sell the DS-14 —and that is why I am waiting on this announcement
I have no issues with having other options but I don’t see the need to shoot down someone’s choices just because it works for them - despite having great luck with my OpenTx stuff I would also think twice before putting it in a $5000 plane/heli...again just my personal take and not an attack on OpenTX/Frsky transmitters.
