I hate to say this but I think I had the same issue of flying with an old flight model with hard VRS even while a new update was out the updater might not have seen as when the 'pulled' update came out that had nothing to do with the Huey or updating it's flight model, I may have gotten the new flight model that might have been missed. (I always run update daily that's why surprised)
It's really a'lot harder now to get into VRS and it's nothing to do with flight hours, I hate to agree but something might have been up.
