I went to JetPower 2018 (this was my first time), mainly to touch and hold the new CORE. I loved the look of it immediately and must admit the Black version will get my vote.

After some reflection I have the following comments:
- it had no special helicopter functionally and to show and display it with only the basic airplane functions was a disappointment.
- some of the English translation was not complete, so understanding the workings were difficult (unless you were German capable)
- there were no sound options on display to check out
- it really need a central turn knob at the top as another control option
- the touch screen and smart phone likeness is fantastic
- the feel of balance with a neck strap was absolutely perfect and the transmitter met with my hands and fingers exactly where I was expecting it to
- the balance without any strap support is forward bias and I found it dropping onto the back of the screen handle rather easily
- apart from one PB telemetry sensor, there were no other sensors to try

I was ready to place my order before I went to JetPower , but have now decided to wait until the wider user market has tested the CORE and some telemetry developers have embraced and released their inventions - before I will part with my cash. Until then I will continue to use what I have.

Cheers,
