Ok,
I've seen the "Magnum" name mentioned here but don't see it on the Bergen website, nor in any of the info on the instruction CD. What is a Magnum exactly, and how is it different than an Intrepid 90, or are they one and the same?

The Intrepid Magnum is the latest edition of the Intrepid Glow series, based on the original Intrepid 60, with improved tail gearbox, new aluminum engraved Blade grips and head button standard, new narrow streamlined fiberglass canopy, improved frame and fuel tank installation.
There were numerous other smaller improvements incorporated over time, with the addition of the new tail gearbox and redesigned frames, we felt it deserved a higher powered designation!!

Thanks chris, now I unnerstan',
Looks like mine is not a Magnum then, I don't have the engraved blade grips or head button, nor the pictured tail gearbox (mine is narrower and pointier). Of course it looks like I can upgrade if I want to do so. What are the modifications to the sideframes mentioned? Mine are not parallel on the bottom edge, there is a lowered section (so I had to assemble and true them up upside down on a granite surface plate for one of the first assembly steps) What about the tank mounting modifications? Or can I just flop the tank parallel instead of perpendicular to the sideframes?
Maybe mine was not from the Ohio Fun-fly, your link mentioned they were giving away a kit at the Buckeye Ohio Fun fly.
Cheers,
Vincent
