I found that they are having the scale international drag racing championships here in San Antonio, TX, in a few weeks. I'm going to try to be there to watch. I was told that people are coming from as far as Australia and will be lots of fun.

That's the receiver I use in the helis. You orient the antennas in opposing directions (horizontal/vertical) to pick up the dual frequencies that the Spektrum DX-7 puts out.
