Hi Mike,
You can research this some more in the high performance forum at www.ezonemag.com, the choices are very, very large here.
For motors, Plettenberg are currently top of the heap, with Hacker following up the rear. All of these motors are geared, and most competitors are using RFM carbon fiber propellors.
For speed controllers, Schulze and Kontronik are the heavy duty manufacturers. Hacker's controllers are being used more in F5D Pylon than in F5B.
For models, well, here it gets broad. You can look up the individual airframes, but the short list includes Avionik (from Russia, produced by Sergey Sobakin, an engineer at Sukhoi), Surprise (I believe from Austria, manufactured by Rudi Freudenthaler, same guy that makes the RFM props), Ariane, Lea, Scorpio, Vanessa, Simba, Victor..... the list goes on here. It really depends on whether you're looking for 7 cell, 10 cell (F5F), or open class aircraft.
You can check out nearly all of the motors, controllers, and Avionik planes at www.icare-rc.com, and some of the motors, controllers, and many planes like the Surprise series at www.shredair.com.
Hope this helps, just ask if you're looking for more specific info. Dan
