I was browsing a-mains website and saw this, don't know if its something recent or not but whats updated about it?
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...or-Hub-Updated

What problems were with the non updated ones and how can you tell which one you have?
Thanks!

Wow there have been so many updates on this heli they should rename it, the "Update 50"..lol!
Ive heard of the tail case update but not the hub.
If someone at A main could make a comprehensive list of all the changed parts and a possible way to identify them?
The effort at A main for customers as been great, cant complain there.

ok this one is easy to clear up, some of the original tail hubs were not machined correctly. I had one like that, one blade would actually move in and out more than the other one. It did not affect the balance or flight because they were both the same when spinning. They simply remachined it so when they were tightened everything was the same...have fun and fly the frenzy!!!

the new hubs are made of stronger material, there is nothing wrong with them
