| mcflyer I've been flying the sport version for quite a while now. I am running the CNC tail with mine. The stock tail will work, but the CNC is really bullet proof once assembled. Like Peekay said, it will need some shimming. I think that QWW is now providing some thin shims in the kit to accomplish this. Other differences between the pro and sport are carbon frame as opposed to G-10. The head is also a double spindle type. The sport is single and is more rigid, which is my preference. The mixing is also a little different. I think for doing FAI type of manuvers, the pro head is best, but for other aerobatics the sport is more responsive, or doesn't feel as soft.
I flew with the sport version plastic blade grips and didn't have a problem with them for probably 20 hours. I did change to the metal tail blade grips to do a little testing for QWW and subsequently bought them. Both sets have thrust bearings. The plastic grips will develop some slop over time, but I have never experienced and failures with them.
