Ok, here's an update on my NexStar saga:

Last week I took the time to install dual aileron servo's in my NexStar, as well as remove some stickers and max-out throws for my ailerons. After I completed the upgrade, I took the plane out and leaning the engine a little more, took it for a few spins and noticed a considerable performance increase. The roll rate of the plane is considerably faster, as well as just having a crisper feel when maneuvering in the air.

What's next? Well, I think I'm going to go ahead and order the Tower .46 pipe that elenasgrumpy suggested. If I get around to it I may remove the AFS sensor (that I've never had hooked up) and patch the hole in the fuse. At some time in the near future I'm going to finally purchase my new transmitter, Hitec Eclipse 7, and then I'll be ready to buy and slowly prepare my Pulse XT. I'll keep everyone updated as I progress.
