“When classy 24k gold meets modern carbon fiber to end up in worlds most luxury rc-radio ever build \u2013 DS-24K”<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was almost exactly a year ago when I had the idea to build another unique JETI transmitter after 2019: at the JetPower, on September 22, 2025, JETImodel handed it over to me personally!<\/span><\/p>\n

With the help of my former materials science professor Uli, whom I met during my studies, we found the right companies in Germany that could first polish the raw parts to a high gloss and then gold-plate them! <\/span><\/p>\n

The most important step before gold-plating the CNC-milled aluminum parts is polishing, which I did at METALLDESIGN in Gaildorf. Each of the 42 aluminum parts of a DS-24 transmitter was personally hand-polished by the METALLDESIGN-CEO himself, resulting in a mirror-like surface \u2013 simply wow!<\/span><\/p>\n

Even before gold plating, the aluminum parts had to be electroplated with nickel to ensure that the gold would bond with the aluminum parts and simultaneously form a diffusion barrier. These two tasks were handled by a company that Uli knew from his work as a professor at Aalen University. They are absolute experts in gold plating. <\/span><\/p>\n

During the gold plating process, I set about designing the transmitter’s carbon fiber front and back panels. It was particularly important to me to allow the front and back of the transmitter to mature without any time pressure. My goal was to keep the transmitter as puristic as possible while still including all the necessary lettering, including the logos. The back was to feature a very special quote derived from Latin:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Originally, a carbon fiber plate with integrated gold fibers was planned, but after an initial test, it became clear that the transmitter would have been too cluttered and confusing with this plate and the required lettering. So, we ultimately threw this idea out.<\/p>\n

After many different versions of the front and back, the layout was finally found, and I’m absolutely thrilled.
\nSorry, JETImodel, that there were countless small detail changes until I was 100% satisfied \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n

I realize this remote control is crazy and doesn’t make for any better flying. Nevertheless, I wanted a special JETI transmitter, in a color this product deserves, especially given my excellent experience with JETI over the past 10 years. The contrast between classic gold and modern carbon fiber is simply elegant and stunning. <\/span><\/p>\n

There’s interest in such a special transmitter. Therefore, JETImodel is currently checking the possibility of producing a small series in 2026. <\/span><\/p>\n
