This is a pretty well known compatibility issue. Jeti talks to Jeti fine on auto but running the TX on auto with Swiwin ECUs can and probably will cause throttle issues, i.e., no throttle response. Setting the TX output timing to 11ms or greater clears up the issue. If you have questions, perhaps give James at Esprit a call. He is the one that helped to figure this out.

how necessary is a UAT?
I just got my first turbine jet engine (SW120B) and I'm still just learning. I'm pretty excited to test run the engine but I'm missing an air trap UAT tank. So I know that the SWIWIN pump has a fail safe against air bubbles but the manual setup still includes a UAT. So how necessary is a UAT for this engine. Also can I get away with creating a homemade UAT or should I buy a properly made one?

HI Griffin,
I'm sure others can better attest to what brand of UAT works well but you absolutely have to use a UAT, unless you are just bench testing an engine. Yes the pump for the 120 configuration is plumbed so it breaks up any air bubbles as opposed to the 160 and up but you have to have a UAT. This is absolutely paramount. I would not make one yourself. You can ask around as to which brand. I know that BVM has always been noted for quality. Jet Model Products had some for a while as well.
If you have any questiones feel free to call. We are more than happy to help you.

Thanks for the information.
Unfortunately I'm located in Canada so there would be a lot of shipping costs purchasing from BVM. Do you know any Canadian stores that I can buy jet engine related products?

Next; Turbine powered models are NOT inexpensive, you cannot do this on budget. You need to get your priorities straightened out or this will be an ugly journey.
Sorry if that hits hard, but that's just the way it is......

Oh man, not to step on Andy's toes, but don't you know how to use Google?

I do know how to use google however its still quite difficult to find stores located in Canada, Google has mostly shown locations in the states. And I understand it will be expensive but I am also running on a time budget so I prefer not paying $50 for express shipping every time.
If your close to the border when ever it open again, find a package place on the USA side and get your stuff ship there….go pickup those up once in a while…that’s what we do out east in ontario…..at the moment we still ship stuff and planes to the border but need a broker…transport ect so cheap it ain’t, but got to feed the addiction…turbine I get them shipped right to the house…free with kingtech.
I don’t buy much in Canada, not many store were I live, and their exchange rate is higher then I pay, and that’s make the jets or plane cost at least 40% more and on top the 13% after conversion, so they can charge us even more not complaint just facts.
Oh I forgot….the reason we ship planes to the border…let say I paid $800 usd to ship the havoc SS to the border, the same planes to my house would have been over $1500 usd, on top of that Broker fees 10%, advancement fees 5%, taxes 13% and duties 3-8% from any and all courrier…(shouldn’t be any duties since model plane for CBSA is consider toys )

Dansy taught me about the issues with shipping model airplanes across the border from the USA to Canada. I sold him some F3A stuff a few years back and didn't understand the idea of shipping them to someone else on the Northern USA border.
He told me how it worked and I compared some shipping costs one way and the other "ship to his door" prices, it was astounding. I'd shipped some stuff off eBay to Canada and it was just a joke when Canadian Customs got ahold of anything. The part that really got me was the duty charges on used equipment besides the fact that they tie stuff up for weeks for no apparent reason.

Is anyone using the Digitech CTU with the Swiwin ECU and Jeti radio for turbine telemetry and fuel remaining telemetry. I've seen that the CTU says it supports Swiwin but can not find anyone that has actually used the CTU with Swiwin turbines.
Thanks,
Gary

I setup a twin to see LAU work on the bench to show him it was pretty easy….but that was with KingTech….you need to set one motor in my case it was the left side and define that one as Master (in the apps) then setup the second one as slave1….you can have up to 4 motors…..of course one ctu per motor.

Thanks to everyone that vectored me to this info. I got help here on RCU and from the FB groups.
I'm reposting the photos here for how to make the special ERNI cable mod to connect the Digitech CTU to the Swiwin ECU. It looks pretty simple with this info. Just need to get the cable from Aeropanda and splice it together.
Thanks again to all who responded,
