Default Any New Revisions On The SK540

My heli has been setting for a few months so I'm wondering if there is any new updates for the 540? I think i have 3.15 now.

Probably would have. But there may be some new info on the 540 that Mr. Georgi would know about. That's why i like asking here. Like the change in the mounting foam/pad/tape.

Thanks though.

The only complaint I have with the current version is that the EP governor could be better.
 
Skookum takes a year plus to get an update out. I think that they only have one guy doing firmware for all their products. Last was August 2011 so it will probably be next summer.

Georgi.....My heli set for a few months. I took it out the other day and i have a head wobble now, that i didn't have when i set it up. I'm hopping that the dampners are the problem, don't really know.

When i took it out the other day i had a problem with one of the servos not working after initialization. I had to reinitialize the 540 again to get it to work. Any thoughts?

Thanks, John

=] John, dampers deformed deteriorated? I have had a dead tail servo at initialize which worked fine after a re-boot, hook up to the pc and check the live data for peace of mind!

I have some new dampers coming. That's what i thought, dampers.

I wasn't to concerned about the servo, all cyclic's are new.

Thanks Georgi.
