Default RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

I have seen the Reaction 54 Jet fly a half a dozen times at least at two jet meets this last year during his flight testing. It will really scoot when you pour the coals to it and then it will slow down to a fast walk when landing. It's presence in the air is really majestic. Several of us in the NW kept trying to talk Bruce into getting the kit out sooner because it is such a great all around airframe, easy to build, easy to fly. But Bruce is meticulous and wanted to get it right, like all the other successful kits that he has done. What's nice about the Reaction 54 is as a beginner pilot, it can be your first jet, or as a veteran jet pilot, a great flying sport jet.
I have a couple of other projects that I have to finish involving the 12 - 15 lbs turbine size, then I will probably get one myself.
