Still works great Pongo. I just decided to go ahead and get the mod to install Hall Effect sensors in to replace the pots. I don't have any control issues, but I'd bet the Halls will last damn near forever.

Cool Reschke, I thought that guy said he wasn't going to do those except for his own Cougar...nice to see he changed his mind! Check that out when he gets pics up Pongo...very interesting concept.

Will the uber mod guy do the hal sensor mod as well? Or is it easy enough without.

The price of nearly $600 USD includes the Hall Sensor mod in the Evenstrain as well. You can buy the Evenstrain without the HS mod but then you have to go find and buy them yourself and install it as well. Since that is the only "pot" Evenstrain is making the gimbals to fit with it seems like a bit of a monopoly..

I don't think the Uber Cougar guy does the hall sensors. From what I read it sounds easy enough to install separately. You just have to be willing to solder 6 wires together (not at a circuit board or contact - just wire to wire). Since the Uber mod doesn't change the way the pots/HE sensors are mounted, that shouldn't pose an issue. The HE sensors are about $129 tho'.

Fitted Hall sensor mod yesterday, easy enuf 6 wires to solder and for the dense plenty of instructions.
Different guy for the hall sensor mods but i believe he's gonna supply the evenstrain guy although i could be wrong.

You are correct on the supply part Cav. The Hall Sensor guy is supplying the Evenstrain guy for his mod so you don't have to buy the Hall Sensors and then ship them separately from the Cougar base.
