With the range I got under test condition I would have no problem in flying with the 9ch Rx hooked up to the patch antennas. Richard did tell me that they have made the Rx more sensitive and he did not know if patch would improve or not etc but he did ask me for results which I have told him the results of ground range tests. Should not be to many weeks before I get chance to change over completely.
I have installed my Core for test in a Elan I brought for testing etc and have a mercury SRS with PBR26 and it had first flight the other day with everything being fine.
Going to install another Mercury SRS and 2 x PBR26 and CTU unit in my T1 jet also installing Power Expander with PBR26 feeding Powerbox into CARF Hawk...
I am still flying my Graupner MX24s with DV4 module with all four wires internal going up inside of mounting shaft ie no external patch lead at all, this also working faultless.
I really like the CORE!

Hi Alan,
I am indeed well, hope you are too. You may recall helping install my original Weatronic 2.4 receiver at Scampton about 8 years ago, its still installed and working to perfection, as has all my Wea devices, three DV 4 modules on JR 12Xs plus the BAT 60, as well as about 14 receivers , all Gizmos with patch antennae. Its a near bullet proof as possible.
As far as the Core is concerned, I am currently preparing a detailed review for RCJI.
To say I am impressed is an understatement, clearly the Core owes its heritage to Weatronics, and is all the better for that, my impressions after about 6 hours of exploration are that this IS the state of the art. Sure, there are some things to come, Flight Modes, sequencers etc but I am confident this radio will be the “ Gold Standard” of RC systems and I will progressively convert all my my models to it as my Wea equipment ages.
To anyone considering purchasing a unit , my advice is to get one, soonest !
This morning I configured a 9 channel rx for my little L39, it was so easy that my cup of tea was still warm when I finished !
Only the very best of RC goes into my models, so the Core will go into my new aircraft, an Airworld Sea Fury, with Moki 250, an £ 8000 investment, with electric start (the pushbuttons on the Tx are perfect for the starter) can’t give it a higher compliment !
Best regards,
David.
