Over a year ago Choppahedz marketed a CP head, but it didn't go anywhere. There is a person on RC Groups, by the name of "BQuick", who just made a homemade head, but only one-of-a-kind.
Right now the only real solution is to get the Corona Collective Pitch Rotor Head offered by Ballistic Technology's (B-Tech). It is being sold through HeliHobby for $224.00. I was lucky and purchased mine from B-Tech in October as a pre-order for about $55 less. It's mandatory that you also purchase the B-Tech 7-mm shaft and tail belt drive for this upgrade to work. I had all those upgrades, so the CP was well worth it.
Nothing like setting governor mode and getting a constant head speed and adjusting altitude by pitch instead of throttle. And no more tail wags when decreasing or increasing throttle. I love the head.
That being said, if you have a plain-Jane stock Corona, the CP head and other upgrades might be too much money to spend on the old 120. You might be better off with another CP heli. However, I doubt you will find a CP heli head that is as rugged as this one.
