The Core really is a most capable device, with huge growth potential.

A few points:

I found the clasp on the on the strap too small, particularly with cold fingers last Sunday, worth changing for a larger unit.,

I spent an hour trying to get the servos working properly, after they stopped responding, after some exploration of the system.

I eventually traced the problem on the 9 channel receiver which in the menu, I had inadvertently set to channel A out to function two but the servo did not respond to ch 2 operation.

Does anyone know the complete logic of those settings as I have had some strange results, the outputs did not always follow that selected after channel 3. Selecting channel 4 and the servo still responded to channel 3 control.

Changing the 9 ch to 10 ch is not explained in the manual but is easy (when you know how!) . Just set Fast track to PWM on the receiver menu accessed on the receiver widget .

The release of the latest Core update is imminent, so we should have speech soon.

Telemetry ? A vario would be most welcome.

Flying my PST Reaction ( my test/evaluation model for the Core) last week was real pleasure using the Flight Modes perfectly matching flap travel speeds with trim fade in, perfectly benign handling.

Anyone using the I Sat gyro ?

Just a question. A friend has one of these and I am interested, but when I held it the loops on the back get in the way of my hands. Can those be removed?

Big model set up is any SRS Powerbox with two, 26D Rx’s which effectively is giving you 4 lots of data collection.
Because of the patch lead supply these can be positioned where ever there is clear signal.

That’s all you need.

Well technology improves which causes some of us to redefine what is "needed" to feel comfortable we are improving our chances for success. I would not fly an expensive plane this day without some level of redundancy in energy (dual batteries, failsafe or dual switches) and receiver (dual receiver+).
But that will be my definition of need.

I'm moving from DS-24 Jeti to Core. I would always use 2.4 and 900mhz in an expensive plane (never quite trusted 2.4 only on Jeti). After using Weatronics for 5+ years, I feel very conformable with just using 2.4 in Core. Still for expensive plane will always use the redundancy on energy and receivers (so two 26D for expensive planes).

Thanks for your answer Dave, is that the setup used in the 10m long Concorde @Jet power this year ?

Of course the Core is compatible with PB products, but doubt Evolution, 6 channels would suit your application.

I am currently evaluating the Core with the 9 (10) channel receiver with 8 servos plus a throttle input using a PST Reaction .
PB Sensor Power supply.

Works perfectly.

The power consumption of this model was evaluated earlier using a Weatronics Gizmo receiver which measures current. No guess work there.

The value was less than 3 amps, WAY below the safe levels of the PBR 9 receiver and Sensor.

My Core will soon be installed, using 26 ch rx Mercury with 18 servos 4( from gear programmer) in. a 1/4 scale Sea Fury with Moki 250.

I have every confidence it will be a perfect installation.
