Nope, it was all in magazines from a couple of years ago and no real
details. One of the big AMA competitions if I remember right. Top Gun most
likely.

I'm pretty sure someone out there sells a collective upgrade for the Sport
500. I'm an electric guy, though. My usual field is a park 10 minutes from
here and the tree huggers that live around there go nuts when someone fires
up an engine. Electrics generally sneak by pretty easily. I still have a
firebird that I need to convert to 3 channel with some tiny gear I have
(HS-50 servos, GWS reciever the size of a postage stamp).

Suppose I should also go fly that Slow Stick I've had sitting around for
ages, too.
