Care Tips
- As with all foam planes, and especially those with dark colors and cockpits, keep your plane out of direct sunlight (or cover it) when not flying!
- TIP: You can use a small drill bit or a #11 drill bit to make a small 2-3mm hole in the clear canopy above the ejection seat. This will reduce the temperatures a bit in the cockpit due to the 'greenhouse effect'.
- Use foam, a soft stand, or towels, or similar items to protect your models surface and finish when working on it, or transporting it!
JR DMSS Use
- In addition to the JR DMSS receivers listed in the manual, the RG812BX should be a good choice as well. Avoid the BPX receivers as they will not do servo pulses and serial data at the same time.
- We recommend updating to the very latest Aura Firmware v1.14 or higher and then set the 'new to Aura' JR XBUS MODE A serial data in the transmitter and the Aura.
- Using MODE A, you can physically wire/connect it just like Futaba diagram in the manual (P. 7). Throttle and Gear in the Receivers ports. Xbus to Port B in Aura.

Jeti EX Bus Use
