Any news on new Futaba BS251 "BRUSHLESS" servo availability?

[jbeanelliott]

Has anyone heard any news or rumors on when the new Futaba BS251 "BRUSHLESS" servo will be available?

I saw a picture and a brief mention of this new Brushless servo on page 132 of the April 2007 issue of Model Aviation magazine by Dave Patrick. The text says that the "brushless motor is expected to enhance power and speed dramatically." It also says that this could be "the greatest thing in servo technology", although I believe industrial brushless servos have been around for some time.

Actually its a BS251 not 241 :)

Based on Daves comments Im interested!

I found this quote from a Futaba guy on another site.

Futaba has not released information on brushless servos at this time. As soon as any information's available, it will go onto the website.

I edited the thread title to say BS251 instead of BS241. Thanks.
