I may add Powerbox to my collection. I'm too heavily invested in Jeti to switch completely.
I find the Jeti color screen to be cutting edge technology, 1990.
The PowerBox radio is more 21st century. Plus, I have fun learning new systems.

New stuff is always fun! Thought you might be upset with your current radio system. I really like the Core too, I struggle with spending that amount of money on Tx. My DS-14 has served my quite well.
I will most likely migrate to the DS 16 Gen 2 when available.

I know some guys run a Cortex and a Mercury for Thrust Vectoring....

Well, I did loose two airplanes due to me making mistakes with Jeti setup (And I've been using Jeti for five years!) If I was using Spektrum, Futaba, etc, this wouldn't have happened. I think about that. A system so complex that errors are possible and will have disastrous results, may not be desirable.

At least you are man enough to admit you made a mistake, most blame it on the radio. I keep my setup simple by using single Rx driving a Cortex Pro. Gives me all the channels I need. I know David uses pretty much the same setup on the majority of his models but with a 900 BU Rx.

Hmmm......

I've got a SebArt Avanti S (the one in my Avatar) with a Behotec 180, TV and a Mercury on Futaba rx's. It's not been flown in some time while I chased fuel leaks and had some personal issues. But it felt like it had real promise with just the Mercury and the GPS module, are you saying it won't hover without a Cortex?

It should fly, hover, etc just fine with the igyro in the Mercury. It’s a Ford vs Chevy thing, some prefer the Cortex some the Powerbox. If you want you can use a Cortex gyro with a Mercury. Check out Archie Staffords videos hovering his Mephisto with the Powerbox gyro.

Yes, I plan to use the Mercury for all but TV, and the Cortex for TV. Seems like a lot of Florida guys do this with sucess. Adam said not necessary (as stated in my quote) but could be just a little better.

The actual hovering on my Mephisto is pretty “Hands off” with a Royal gyro. I think one of the reasons the Cortex is so popular with that plane is CARF uses the Cortex and gives settings in the manual. It might be a better gyro, who knows? I had both the iGyro and now Cortex in my BVM F-16 and cannot tell the difference. I wanted to try the Cortex after having several iGyros, for me it’s a wash. Of course tuning could change how either fly.

Any news on when can we start to expect these radios to ship? I hope its soon. Any bit of information would be appreciated.
