Got my second SXX and USB bridge from Stormer today. I don't know how new this batch is, but it was at least new to Stormer since it had just arrived. It shipped with 4.2. So, not sure what the status of units in the US is, but at least in my case, it didn't ship with 4.4.
The upgrade was very easy. LRP's software is the best I've seen for firmware updates in the RC world so far. Worked like a champ using XP running in Parallels on a Mac.
