One thing to note is that $500 radios feel like that, and the software is limited for certain things, while the common ATV,EXP, etc is probably what 70% of the users are interested in, there is a point in life when we need radios which can perform better, feel better and do more, they also open new programing posibilities simply imposible with cheaper radios, but that is also the reason why there's a radio for everyone, to me the radio is also part the hobby, I like and enjoy using a high end radio as it feels and performs way better, I sold my Futaba T14SG because the sticks felt horrible(it was a second radio).
I was looking into the CORE, but the software is still in the early stages, for example, I wonder if the CORE will be able to change a condition using a stick but hold that condition until a specific position on the stick is reached and return to the previous condition(hope I explained myself) like I do on my F18MZ.... any info will be appreciated.
