[NSRCA-discussion] Jeti Spin 99 Pro

[John Gayer]

Scott,
If you go to jetimodel.com  the weight of the spin99 is listed as 110 
grams and at esprit it is listed as 100 grams.  The OS is listed at 124 
grams. If the 110 grams  is true, the 15 grams does not seem like a 
showstopper.
I believe both the OS and the Jeti require a proprietary controller with 
no usb connection(for now).
While the price of the jeti is $50 more at $230, you can probably do 
even better on the OS than $180 depending on the discounts you can get 
from Tower.
I'm using the OS and have been very happy with it and the program box. 
Definitely appreciate the improvement in brake range.  The first few 
times you hook up a flight battery is disconcerting without the "snap".
