Which upgrade? There are several upgrades from other manufacturers but is there a specific one for the Hummingbird from Century?

I've been thinking about getting a hummingbird. I read up on CP conversions and stuff- I eventually decided to phone Century.

GUESS WHAT!! There is a CP version that they are currently testing, and it's scheduled to be on the market around Christmas! the guy I spoke to also told me that there will also be a Hummingbird CP conversion kit too!

BTW. Just received and fitted the shaft collar and swash ball thingys. I feel much better about the swash now that it moves smoothly.

Hmm

I just picked up the 370 motor but the screws used to hold the stock motor are too small for the 370. Anyone know the size of screws that will fit the 370?
