However by activating the "Auto-Judge" feature (available on firmware revision 4.1.14), when ever the GPS telemetry indicates the maneuver was at least an 9.5 out of 10 the earplugs are bypassed and a wav file is played over the speaker saying "Awesome maneuver, way to fly!" This is useful to let your buddies know just how great a job you are doing.

P.S.: Just kidding (if you hadn't figured that out from the firmware revision/date)

Even better is the mode wherein the Auto-Judge, upon detecting a less than perfect landing, announces "Wind-shear, good save! Wind shear, good save!"

LOL, fantastic upgrade. That belongs in Menu -> Advanced Properties -> Really Advanced Properties.

Looks like I've got me a new wav file to make.

Regards,

Jim

Back to the flow sensor: I tested a "virtual fuel flow sensor" which is a variable timer attached to my Transmitter. It worked perfect, made over 50 flights with my Ultra Flash and i'm able to land with a constant rest fuel Independent of my actual flying style.
Unfortunately till now only Frsky has a variable timer built in their software. But their is hope, that others will follow.

Yes for Jeti / JetCat telemetry application there is a ECU data converter available from CB Elektronics. They call it JJXC.

Between 270 and 330 Euros!
I prefer a cheaper solution with a variable timer or ECU Telemetry.

Get you a JETI and you will find out what "real" telemetry and audible alarms are all about. You don't have to look down at a damn thing. Assign your audible alarms to a momentary switch or accelerometer (transmitter tilting) and you can get them called out to you anytime you wish! In a bedroom voice if you prefer! Get away from the JR's and Foootaaaba's if you want something new and exciting!
