Marine V-22 grounded, parts being replaced

"The culprit was a faulty swashplate actuator pressure switch, which has been traced back to a manufacturing error by supplier Eaton Aerospace, according to ITN.

A V-22 has six swashplate actuators with two pressure switches each. The swashplate is a device that allows the pilot to control the movements of the rotors. "

Looks like the processes necessary to control the actions of a swashplate actuator can be complicated. I wonder how Torvec is coming with the controllers for the IVT swashplate.

Has anyone heard of any update on that? I heard that it was production ready, but I was wondering if that is still being tweaked.
