Test flew this yesterday on Core. All Powerbox equipment, batteries, Mercury unit. There is 2 years work and $26,000 in this model and the owner would not trust it to anything else. Geared Moki 250 swinging a 5 blade prop with over 40” pitch!
Glad to see that Sea Fury being flown yesterday ! Inspiration !
Mine is complete ready for engine runs, with, guess what, Moki 250 with electric start, Core, Mercury and a mix of JR, and Ditex servos, Sparkswitch Pro pro etc.Nice to hear the alarm sound when the air pressure dropped to 4 bar during gear testing, too.
The more I use the Core the more I like it. The voice is fantastic having it tell me when the choke is open or closed, ignition live etc. hugely beneficial and a great safety aspect.
Perhaps I will have mine upgraded to gearing, that 5 blade prop looks superb.
