Not quite sure what the optimal choice would be here.

Assuming the Stick lives a long and fruitful life and who does not wish for that, does make the assumption that the flight pack components will stay in the airplane and not be robbed for the next 'Bigger & Better' which if you will admit you probably have already been thinking about.

That next 'Bigger & Better' may actually be an airplane that can benefit from the expensive servos unlike your stick that really does not care what kind of standard you stick in there. Soooo with that in mind temptation to strip your relatively new and great flying stick will be strong and you just might not get back to it, ever just because 'Oh its missing a couple of servos.

In my opinion Stripping an old airplane for a newer one is usually the death knell and it would be a lot better simply to invest in one more Hs-325 and one HS-85 for throttle and save the heavy metal for the next 'Bigger & Better', Heck you just may end up with both airplanes in commision at the same time and a choice of what to fly. Now theres a concept.
