HI All,

Re upgrade path, we generally offer that for products that we can phsyically upgrade (like the non-firmware upgradable FDR to upgradable version).

In the case of the MicroPower, the units cannot be physically upgraded (different PC board, microcontroller, components, etc.). This means that in your hands the V2 is a great, extensible logger for which we will continue to offer new sensors and software enhancements. But in our hands its a paperweight. :-)

So... I take it that's a no go on the upgrade policy....

[airmcn_3]

when?

[billpa]

Because of the agressive pricing on the MicroPower we aren't able to offer an upgrade or step-up program at this time. Customers who have purchased a MicroPower V2 logger within the last 30 days will be able to exchange their V2 logger for new Version 3 logger provided they can supply a copy of their sales receipt.

what about the users who have continued to buy the the new sensors ie brushless rpm sensor,altimeter expander,airspeed expander multifunction expander,logging memory expander...At 30.00 a pop,that is close to 120.00 in the last few months..I have continued to support eagle tree systems for 2 years..

I don't understand why people are continuing to press the issue :confused: It's not like Toshiba is going to offer to give you a new computer because they released a new model. It's not like Ford is going to replace your '07 car because they have an '08 now. Why should they be expected to replace your V2 with a V3???

Also, the V3 doesn't come with any brushless rpm, altimeter, or airspeed sensors built in. You'd still need to buy those for the V3... :rolleyes:

That's some analogy..
You can hardly compare to a new computer or a new car to a seventy dollar item..And I am not asking for anything free.I feel they might want to give the users that bought there product early on,and did alot "testing" for them to rid the product of any bugs...the product continually evolved into a better product..the real R&D was done out in the field IMO..
You missed the point entirely about all the added sensors.Thanks, But I already new that the V3 did not come with those built in.My point was that I have fully suppoted the Eagle tree line, and have a few dollars invested...These are the users they should be taking care of,not just the recent user's in the last month or so....

[StarmanDXE]

Yeah, but I'm sure it's hard for them to differentiate between "loyal users" and "new users" (excluding those with purchases within the last 30 days).

As he mentioned, they already priced their device very competitively. $70 seems pretty reasonable for the V2. Now, they have the V3 at $70 also. If they offered some sort of trade-in for the V2 (which they have no use for...) they will be loosing money (assuming the price of this new V3 is that low.)

Why not just sell your V2 for $30 and buy the V3? Won't that be the same thing that you're asking for? :confused:

[Basingstoke Roy]

Hi

Any chance that the V3 will be able to use the Electric Expanders to give a second current measurement?

Two RPM's is a good step forward for uses with my contra rotating brushless motors, but two current measurement would be even better. :)

[billpa]

Hi All,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Regarding upgrade, the most important thing to us is to have happy customers. Based on your feedback, we've decided to offer a V1/2 to V3 upgrade rebate of $10. This is about a 15% discount for customers who continue to support us.

To take advantage of this rebate, purchase your V3 from any authorized dealer or direct from us. Within 30 days of receiving the V3, mail in a copy of your V3 and V1/V2 purchase receipts, and we will mail you (or paypal you at your option) the $10 rebate. Rebate requests should go to:

Eagle Tree Systems, LLC
ATTN: V3 Rebate
4957 Lakemont Blvd. SE,
Suite C-4, PMB 235
Bellevue, WA 98006

Roy, that's an interesting suggestion re dual currents. I will look into that.

Regards,

Bill, for Eagle Tree

[StarmanDXE]

Nice of you :)



But, I'm willing to bet you can still get at least $30 for a used V2 ;) :D

[billpa]

Hi Starman,

To be clear, with the rebate you get to keep the V2 to sell, use, or throw away. We don't want it back. :-)

Bill

[StarmanDXE]

Oh! Well then! Good deal :eek:

[NumbSkull]

:(.. I didn't keep my receipt....

Oh well.. I'm going to need a V3 anyway... the V2 wont handle the 12S that I'm putting together now...

[Basingstoke Roy]

Thank Bill

I and several other contra nuts will be waiting with eager anticipation, to see what you can come up with.

Recording the loads on each motor in flight, is the only reliable way of getting accurate data for setting the pitch on both props. unless you happen to have a wind tunnel in your garden shed :rolleyes:

If you bought it from Tower (like I did) you can log into your account, select the relevant order, and print a duplicate receipt. I just printed mine.

[cmulder]

if anyone likes to sell there v2 for a good price (like the 30 usd sugested) let me know ;)

[ozace]

I am so looking forward to this new toy. Thanks for the continuing development of a great product.

[billpa]

Hi ozace,

Thanks for the kind words!
