Hi Steve
Would you mind if i posted a couple of your pictures of your flying rig on my FB Account, hopefully when finished my machine will be very close in spec and i would like to show a friend what i am planning to build (+soldering iron burns and dried blood) whilst waiting for delivery.

I want the retracts to come down when I hit the 'Go Home' X3 switch what's the best way to do it on the Jeti DS-16

I have the Retracts on Rx channel 8 controlled by switch Sb
I have Go Home on on Rx channel 7 controlled by switch Sh

Thanks in advance

Beja should work with free mixers ! Use your SH switch to trigger the mix and the mix should effect your channel 8 ! I am actually not using the coming home feature but triggering a fake coming home by setting the copter into failsafe ! Keeps one extra X channel on the WKM free for something else.
So I have a switch that ( also mixer) forces the flight mode into failsafe ! Flix the switch back up and its in the original flight mode. Problem though if i remember correctly if you were in gps mode before. You will have to deactivate failsafe by bring up the swtich if the copter returns into GPS you have to switch to attitude to it out of the failsafe routine !

Great build Baja! really impressive first video, congrats mate! Between yourself and BorisS you will make my build so much easier, can't wait to begin in a few weeks! Is that the DJI datalink you have attached above the dome? (It's only attached for part of the video)

Ah right, cheers! Were you still considering moving the video link to one of the retracts? I remember there was a discussion of all the CF and electronics possibly interfering with the signal by being placed above the dome? Which vTx/Rx combo did you go for?

Do you run your RX and Zenmuse and Video kit all from the flight LiPo's or do you have a separate pack just for the Rx and video kit.I have ordered my SkyJib and was considering putting on a 4S just to run the receivers and Zenmuse + links against the extra weight downside.
