[NSRCA-discussion] Plettenberg 30-10 evo and Jeti ESC

[Jon Lowe]

Chill. Do you work for Futaba? Otherwise, I see no reason for you to "resent" anything.  I did not imply that Jeti was a Futaba product, and I pointed out something that might help make things work.  The fact is, that they apparently have changed from the "standard" that made equipment interoperable.  There are all kinds of things that plug into servo ports, other than servos, that rely on a standard interface (speed controllers, retracts, on board glow systems, switches, etc).

This is NOT a Futaba issue.  I resent the fact that several of you seem to feel that Jeti is a Futaba product and should work perfectly with Futaba equipment.

Jon, how else would they boost their equipment sales?  If the new stuff was backwards compatible (as, BTW, DSMX is with DSM2) everyone would keep using their old, perfectly good stuff instead of replacing it with new...

It's disappointing that after the various radio manufacturers standardized wiring, signal timing, etc. for servos, that Futaba would move, again, in this direction.  They should make clear in their advertising that their new receivers may not be compatible with equipment you already have.  Should be considered a design defect.  All this does is hurt the customers.
