  • Page 3 Find the source of the vibrations and fix the problem. Spirit RS is not an autopilot, it is necessary to have knowledge of flying R/C models. The system is only designed to improve flight experience. We recommend using R/C simulators designed for training before the first flight.

  • Page 4: Table Of Contents

    We recommend to start with clear model profile as you will need only few changes. Spirit System offer DS-12 radio tailored specially for the Spirit RS. This mean you will be able to utilize completely all features out of the box.

Assign switch for Autorot. mode - usually it is two-state switch called Sc at the left front side of the radio. This switch will be used for Throttle Hold/Autorotation.

  • Page 10: Throttle Curve

    Non-Spirit Jeti radio might need to get extension module for Flight modes (from swshop.jetimodel.com). Alternatively you can use only 3 Flight modes. Instead of Autorot. flight mode you can set Throttle Cut switch. 4.2 Throttle Curve Open Throttle curve menu - Main Menu/Heli Tuning/Throttle curve.
  • Page 11 For the beginning you can use these values. Positive value will activate Head-Lock Gyro mode, while a negative value will engage Normal (Rate) mode. For further Gyro Gain tuning you can set 50, 60, 70% gains or assign a potentiometer.
  • Page 12 1 Unit Mounting Correct mounting of the Spirit RS unit plays an important role for the operation of your model. Find a suitable location where vibrations are as low as possible - this is usually the same location shown by the manufacturer for mounting a gyro.
  • Page 13 We recommend to use supplied double sided tape. 2 Antenna Spirit RS is equipped with 2 full-range antennas. For the best signal reception it is necessary to mount them properly at the model. Ideally ends of the antennas should be perpendicular to each other in all directions.
  • Page 14 SpiritRS Wiring Spirit RS with the current firmware has support for 3x swashplate, 1x tail and 1x throttle servos. It has also 2x independent DUPLEX telemetry ports which mean you can attach directly two JETI sensors. Moreover you can optionally connect a backup receiver.
  • Page 15 1 Servo Wiring According following diagrams you can connect servos to the Spirit RS. If some of your servos are not 1520μs center pulse, please connect the servo later during Setup Wizard process. CH1 and CH3 - Aileron/Pitch servo CH2 - Elevator Servo CH4 - Tail Servo Depending on your model and selected Swashplate Type servos are wired differently.

  • Page 17 By default both are configured as JETIBOX/Sensor which mean you do not have to do any other adjustments, just connect the sensors. Spirit RS is equipped also with E2 port. In the future this port can be used in case Spirit RS will act as a standalone receiver. No sensor for Spirit RS can be connected there.
