1.85

Tank you!

1.95 is out. I updated with no issues. Also everyone, I have screen protectors for the Core. You get 2 screen protectors for $12 shipped conus. Please email me at [email protected] if you would like a set. I am giving 2 per order in case you mess up the first one.
Both attached pics show the protector on the screen. They fit great, and the touch screen still works perfectly.
Thanks

Heard one or two complaints about the light in the switch being difficult to see in bright sunlight.

On mine I gently scraped away the paint on the center of the switch, greatly increasing the “lit” area. Simply used a fingernail. Now much easier to see.

Been flying my glider daily for the last week to test the new vario, works beautifully.

The trim beep does not overcome vario beeps Unless you activate a trim lever IMMEDIATELY after a vario beep.

Just spent some time going through the whole thread, seems a pretty impressive system.

The RX update through the TX is a pretty awesome feature.

The Pioneer looks like a good piece of kit as well.

Regards,

It is, indeed.

Yesterday I was able to fly the Core and air test the I Gyro Sat in my PST Reaction.

Although I have used various gyros in damping mode on aileron and rudders on all of my jets since Pontious was a pilot, this is the first time I have used attitude assist on ailerons.

To see I am seriously impressed is a huge understatement.

This Gyro is absolutely brilliant.

Hi David, I've been a little confused with attitude assist, I have not dug into it deeply what are the benefits you are seeing over.... say the Igyro 3e

Thanks

Angus

About to pull the trigger on the tray version and just realized, do they have any Heli support or only fixed wing?

Regards,

Nothing directly for heli yet. But the radio is so adaptable people are flying helicopters with it as FBL set ups don’t require half the old specific heli mixes

Many thanks, not big on FBL's kind of old school. 4 servo CCPM with 45 degree phasing and a few curves would not go a miss, not needing all out thrashing 3d which the FBL's are targeted towards.

Don't get me wrong also fly all types of fixed wing yet heli mixing is complicated and a necessary evil.

Also do some large scale UAS work and need some basic mixing for rotary prototypes before using (destroying) $$$$$ autopilots.

Maybe hanging on the 24 a little while longer

Regards,

Ive never used the 3e.

The aim on Friday was to try the I Gyro SAT on both normal and with attitude assist on ailerons on my PST Reaction ( Core with 9 and 7
channel receivers) which has a low wing loading and thick wing section making it susceptible to turbulence. Other than that it is a delight to fly.

In normal mode, damping on all 3 axes, the model was even smoother, rock steady, and even more pleasant to fly in way I cant really describe, it just felt nicer.

Then to attitude assist on ailerons, my first try at such application.

After setting the gain to just stop oscillation at low, medium and high speeds, no GPS correction needed, in roll, then tried:

Straight flight, upright and inverted, wings remained exactly level with aileron stick free.

360 degree turns with 45 and 60 degrees of bank. With just elevator input the model completed the turns with EXACTLY the same bank angle throughout.

Loops. Start with wings level , apply elevator only, loop completed with wings exactly level throughout, no corrections required.

4 point rolls. Model stopped precisely at each point without any wobble or overshoot.

Non of the fine tuning aspects were tried as not needed.

I am now hooked on aileron attitude assist and hugely impressed by this little gyro with its quite uncanny accuracy.

it’s the same. Attitude assist is the same as heading hold in the 3e.
It’s the only mode I fly.

Just on ailerons?

I accidentally had it on rudder on a Mercury and had not tried the gyro out yet as it was a new plane. I ended up with the gyro on during takeoff. That was a wild ride for about twenty seconds until my pal asked if I had the gyro on.

The ISat is quite different in feel to the 3e. The 3extra and iSat have a similar feel.

all except rudder

It’s 2 years this week since I started flying the prototype Core Tx I’m still using today. I used a 6s EDF Avanti for much of the long distance testing and my eyesight ran out way before the radio...I can fly a long way out! The radio has been updated each time from that very first software (before release) and has had more than 50 charge cycles. All still performing faultlessly.

At a jetogether last week more than 25% of the pilots were using Core ( on that day I happened to be flying JR!) it’s taken over from other brands as the new radio of choice...once you have used it the reason becomes obvious. The people leaving Jeti for it I guess are a surprise to many.

I decided it was time to add a V3 Avanti to my fun fleet...Core controller obviously

DW

I have no regrets about selling all my Jeti stuff and I had a lot, Jeti is a great radio but for me the programming, versatility and quality of the Core is second to none. And it feels great in the hands, best feeling and balanced radio around.

simply the best

I have been flying with this radio for a while now in my prop planes and will covert to my Jets soon. One thing i would like is a stiffer throttle movement. the adjustment is maxed out. Do they have stiffer spring plates for this ?

Thanks !
Scott

yes I would agree on the throttle, and yes they do unfortunately you need to send your radio in to a service centre

Agreed the throttle is not stiff enough. I don't really like ratchet's.
I modified my Core. I soft soldered some thick brass shim to the existing ratchet plate ( took some prep work). I also had to add a couple of washers to space the assembly.
Now have all the adjustment I want

Chris

The only complaint I have is the throttle tension as well. I have my spring maxed out and it is still not to my liking. I wonder if core can send the bigger springs?

I don’t get stiff throttle, any resistance makes thing jerky.

Dave

Dave we all have different preferences. Some fly with thumbs, some with trays, some with straps. I prefer tension on my throttle stick.

we are all talking about a radio that is as close to perfect as you can get, just a little more adjustable non ratcheting tension would be the icing on the cake. ( not so much as it would be jerky your thinking JR again)
