I'm wanting to update my Cougar with some better gimbals. I've had my setup since about 2004, and I've replaced the stock gimbals twice in that time... I've e-mailed the maker of the Uber II Nxt, but have yet to get a response. Any word?

I emailed him a few days ago actually. He's thinking of making another run of the set, so better get your name in the hat soon! He said in a month or so, so I guess he's just waiting for a decent size order.

Thanks, what email are you using for him? I just sent one from an alternate email account of mine.

I tried another e-mail and that worked.

Just an update... IJ halted production back in 2012 because CubPilot dropped off the internet. He was the source of the hall sensors... No hall sensors = no gimbals.
I did manage to just get a hold of an Uber II Nxt gimbal and hall sensor mod 2nd hand last weekend from a fine gent on the BMS forums. Got that installed and working well yesterday evening and today. One of the hall sensors was damaged on the solder joints of the wires during disassembly but a friend of mine managed to solder them back on successfully. So far, working perfectly!
The hall sensor used is the Midori QP-2HC. I'm getting a quote from Midori's California office so I can order 2 spares.

Got my hands on the UTM throttle bushings made by IJ yesterday. Installed them this afternoon and WOW, what a world of difference!

Those Hall Sensors aren't that expensive to purchase. I remember talking with Cubpilot about them way back in the beginning when he was starting to offer those with the Evenstrain mod but have since lost all the information on them. I wish I hadn't sold my RCS pedals that had the rudder kit in there that Cubby sold back then.

Yes, I plan on buying a couple from California next year as spares.
