Feel happy I didn't go for a 550 on 3g soon, will wait now for reviews on the 600  

FBL controllers seems to be evolving to include autopilots. But as far as I know, the FBL controllers don't have accelerometers and they haven't mentioned an accelerometer add on.

Read at couple of places that Leon Luke and Alan Szabo are speaking highly of the new system..or are they supposed to  

Here's a flight video-

Interesting that they included a Castle ESC, instead of their own.  Admitting defeat ? Or a new passion towards delivering better ownship experiences ?

Outsourced?  

In the next version they will probably have a TomTom or Garmin sitting on their deck to make up for the GPS link in this version

They will get fired if they don't, they are align sponsored pilots   These guys are so skilled, they will correct for imperfections in the model. They can make crap look good. It is when the lesser souls like us fly that the real problems come out.

Castle have had their share of ESCs burning up.

Any ESC can burn up, depending on what people are doing with them

Ofcourse I wouldn't complain to castle if somebody sets fire to my ESC

When I was looking for ESC options for 500 size helis, I came across a lot of posts where ESC (with proper rating and used within specifies limits) had caught fire in flight. Pretty much all manufacturers had a share of the flaming ESCs - CC, hobby wing even kontronik.

Here is one I saw today on another forum

Mine updated w/o issues and worked fine on the bench. 

I've seen such problems on car ESC's as well.I believe its the new firmware upgrade that is causing all the problems.

Was that the MX series motor? Had one heck of a punch Nice power for such a big heli.

Something I found interesting in the description:

It has a governor.

It has accelerometer for stabilization. No more crashing 

Accelerometer is a peripheral being planned for the future. 

The most interesting bit for me was the admission that flybar-ed is still better (as can be deduced from the phrase "with stability that rivals a flybarred helicopter") 

Ali on our field has tested pretty much every FBL system on the market including the new Futaba one (but not this brand new 3GX), and came to the conclusion that the VBar is the king.  That said, he went back to the flybar on couple of his helis, for reasons of near perfect performance.
