Steve how much will the upgrades cost ? I am an original owner of the SE and theSA. I purchased all the cyclic upgrades from You and still have poor cyclic. Will u take care of the original owners?

Hi Rudy,
I have not talked to Steve about it but I have talked to Charley and we do plan to offer the upgrades to existing owners discounted for a period of time once the parts are released.

Not yet we are at the mercy of the manufacture they will be here very soon

I have a V1 SE, and have had ongoing problems with Hitec servo quality control ie: none
After multiple servo failures (potentiometers, twitchy servo under load) I have all but given up on the HDX.
Now I know this is no fault of the heli, but will the V2 be able to accept a decent servo like the Futaba 9257? A full size servo is too heavy, but the 9257 fits the bill I think, faster than a 9650 as well.
